With the January transfer window entering its final days, several top English clubs are reportedly considering significant moves to bolster their squads. Manchester United are said to be exploring a sensational move for Chelsea’s star attacker Cole Palmer. Sources suggest a potential return to his hometown could be a motivating factor, though any deal would require a record-breaking fee given his long-term contract.
At Old Trafford, discussions are also ongoing regarding the future of defender Harry Maguire. While the interim manager is keen to retain the experienced centre-back, other figures within the club are reportedly advocating for increased opportunities for younger defensive talents.
Elsewhere, Burnley are linked with a loan move for set-piece specialist James Ward-Prowse, aiming to add his expertise to their survival bid. Wolverhampton Wanderers, fighting to avoid the drop, have identified former England youth international Angel Gomes as a potential midfield reinforcement, with the player currently seeing limited action in France.
Wolves are also tracking Auxerre and Mali striker Lassine Sinayoko, whose performances at the recent Africa Cup of Nations have attracted attention. He is viewed as an affordable option, though competition from Championship sides pursuing promotion could complicate any deal.
A potential defensive battle is brewing between Liverpool and Chelsea over Rennes’ highly-rated defender Jérémy Jacquet. While the French club hopes to keep him until summer, both Premier League giants are monitoring the situation closely, with other European clubs also showing interest.
In Spain, Real Madrid are reportedly set to trigger a buy-back clause to re-sign winger Victor Muñoz from Osasuna. The move is seen as a strategic financial play, with the club aiming to secure his rights before a potential future sale.
In the Women’s Super League, London City Lionesses continue to signal their ambitious project, with rumours of a stunning approach for Barcelona and Spain legend Alexia Putellas. The playmaker was recently seen attending a match, fueling speculation of a major winter signing for the club.
