According to reports, Leipzig is showing great interest in signing Jadon Sancho, while the chief of Manchester United is currently in Saudi Arabia for discussions related to transfers involving four players.
Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has shared his thoughts on the draw with Liverpool, expressing his wish for future occurrences of such performances. In a post-game discussion, Ten Hag remarked, “We ought to engage in this kind of display on a more regular basis. Our players exhibited remarkable teamwork and determination.” He also commended Virgil van Dijk’s comeback performance for Liverpool following a lengthy period of injury. According to reports from the Daily Mail, RB Leipzig, a Bundesliga club, is said to be keen on acquiring the services of Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho. It is believed that Leipzig could potentially compete with Borussia Dortmund in securing Sancho’s signature. The winger has fallen out of favor at United following his disagreement with Ten Hag back in September. As a result, he was omitted from the squad for the Arsenal match and has not been included in the first team ever since. Sancho’s departure from Manchester United during the January transfer window is anticipated, and Dortmund is also interested in bringing him back. However, the obstacle that might hinder this move for both clubs is his substantial salary. Barcelona and Juventus are reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation as well.
The £230m rejects
Apart from Sancho, Manchester United is aiming to sell a number of other players in the upcoming January transfer window. According to the Daily Mail, Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, and Casemiro are all listed for potential transfers by the club. John Murtough, the director of football, recently made a trip to Saudi Arabia with the aim of discussing potential transfers. However, no agreements were made during the visit. It is possible that clubs in the Saudi Pro League have an interest in the players, but due to the overseas player quota in the league, a deal may not be feasible until the summer. Manchester United, who spent more than £750m on new signings last summer, consider offloading these players as a key priority for the club.
Despite facing a financial loss of £65m, Wolverhampton Wanderers are eager to secure two signings in the January transfer window. According to The Telegraph, manager Gary O’Neil is aiming to bolster the team by acquiring a striker and a winger. Additionally, the club intends to sell off a number of peripheral players in order to generate funds. Wolves have set their sights on Viktoria Plzen’s forward Rafiu Durosinmi, but they face competition from Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt. To make room for new signings, Wolves might contemplate the departures of Fabio Silva, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Jonny Otto.
Madueke will not be loaned out by Chelsea. Chelsea has no intention of allowing Noni Madueke to go on loan in January, despite the 21-year-old midfielder’s lack of playing time this season due to fitness problems. According to The Athletic, Chelsea has no plans to send Madueke on loan, but they may consider loaning out midfielder Andrey Santos, as Strasbourg has shown interest in him.
