Atalanta want £51m for United target Scalvini
Manchester United’s pursuit of Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini may come at a hefty price. Reports suggest that Atalanta is demanding a fee of £51m for the 20-year-old Italian. United, who have been plagued by defensive injuries, see Scalvini as a potential solution to their problems. However, they will need to meet Atalanta’s valuation if they want to secure his services. Atalanta is in a strong position, with Scalvini under contract until 2028, but a suitable offer could tempt them to sell.
Sancho to join Dortmund on loan after fee agreed
Jadon Sancho’s time at Manchester United appears to be coming to an end, as he is set to join Borussia Dortmund on loan. The two clubs have reportedly agreed on a fee of £2.6m for the loan deal.

Dortmund, where Sancho previously played, have opened talks with United and are close to re-signing the winger. Sancho is expected to join the Dortmund camp in Marbella during Germany’s winter break.
Man Utd scouting Girona ‘sensation’ Gutierrez
Manchester United is keeping a close eye on Girona full-back Miguel Gutierrez. With Sergio Reguilon leaving the club, United is in need of a left-back, and Gutierrez has caught their attention. The 22-year-old Spaniard has been a standout player for Girona and has impressed United scouts with his performances. Gutierrez’s contract with Girona runs until 2027, but United could be willing to pay £22m to secure his services. AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund are also interested in Gutierrez, but United values his high football IQ and attacking abilities.
PSG leading race to sign Earps
Paris Saint-Germain is currently the frontrunner to sign Manchester United goalkeeper Mary Earps. Earps, who was a top contender for the women’s Ballon d’Or and won the Best FIFA Goalkeeper award, is attracting interest from several top clubs in Europe. Her contract with United expires at the end of the season, making her a sought-after target. Arsenal had previously shown interest in Earps, but they have cooled their pursuit. PSG has now emerged as the leading candidate, with Barcelona also in the mix. Earps is reluctant to join Manchester City’s rivals, Arsenal, and Chelsea’s managerial uncertainty adds further complexity to the situation.
