Fulham receive proposal for 'untouchable' Pereira
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F48%2Fandreas-pereira.jpg "Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira in action on November 4, 2024")
South American giants Palmeiras have reportedly sent an 'initial proposal' to Fulham for midfielder Andreas Pereira.
The 28-year-old has established himself as a key player in the Fulham squad since he joined the club from Manchester United in the summer of 2022.
Pereira has featured in 97 competitive matches for the West London side, chipping in with 10 goals and 15 assists.
The Brazil international has made 15 of those appearances during the current Premier League season, contributing to their attacking efforts with a couple of goals, including a strike in the recent 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Transfer trouble? Barcelona star 'rebelling against' January move
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F51%2Fanslam.jpg "Barcelona's Ansu Fati and Lamine Yamal pictured on November 26, 2024")
Barcelona want to sever ties with attacker Ansu Fati at the earliest opportunity in the January transfer window but the player is rebelling against a move, according to a report.
The 22-year-old is yet to revive his stalling Blaugrana career under Hansi Flick, making just seven appearances across all competitions in another injury-riddled 2024-25 campaign.
Fati was back in the squad for Saturday's top-of-the-table La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid after recovering from a muscular problem, but he was an unused substitute as the Blaugrana fell to a gut-wrenching 2-1 defeat.
The winger's contract at Camp Nou remains valid for another two-and-a-half years, but he is firmly behind Lamine Yamal and Raphinha in the wingers' pecking order under Flick.
Bayern or Britain? Sane addresses future amid Arsenal, Man United links
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F41%2Fleroy-sane.jpg "Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane in October 2024.")
Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane has confirmed that he wants to remain at the Allianz Arena despite links with a return to the Premier League next year.
The former Manchester City winger is about to enter the final six months of his deal with the German giants, who risk losing him for nothing when the 2024-25 campaign concludes.
Arsenal and Manchester United are both rumoured to have been alerted to Sane's situation; the Germany international worked alongside current Gunners boss Mikel Arteta while he served as Pep Guardiola's assistant.
Sane is still on the same terms he penned upon his arrival at Bayern in 2020, and the 28-year-old is free to start talking to foreign clubs in the January transfer window if he does not sign on the dotted line before the New Year.
Red Devils reunion? Man Utd's Maguire tipped for top Serie A transfer
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F33%2Fharry-maguire.jpg "Manchester United defender Harry Maguire on August 16, 2024")
Serie A powerhouses Napoli have supposedly expressed an interest in signing Manchester United defender Harry Maguire on a free transfer next summer.
If the 31-year-old's one-year contract option is not triggered, he can leave the Red Devils for nothing at the end of the season, and the centre-back is free to start negotiating pre-contract deals with foreign clubs as early as January.
Maguire was never a consistent starter under Erik ten Hag, who memorably stripped him of the captaincy, but there are signs that he could be the perfect fit for Ruben Amorim's system.
The former Leicester City man played the full 90 in last weekend's 2-1 derby win over Manchester City as part of Amorim's back three, a formation he is familiar with from his time in the England national team.
Barcelona, Arsenal 'set to battle' for French midfielder 'next summer'

Barcelona and Arsenal are reportedly both interested in signing Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume, with the France Under-21s international potentially leaving Estadio Ramon next summer.
Agoume made four first-team appearances for Inter Milan before making the switch to Sevilla, initially on loan, and he has represented his current side on 30 occasions in all competitions, with 27 of those coming in La Liga.
This term, the 22-year-old has made 17 appearances for Sevilla, and it is understood that his performances have put him on the radar of a number of major clubs, with Garcia Pimienta's side seemingly facing a difficult task when it comes to keeping him.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Arsenal have made Agoume a leading transfer target, but Barcelona are also said to be showing an interest ahead of next summer's transfer window.
Could Van Dijk join Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid?

Real Madrid have added Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk to their wishlist for the summer transfer window, according to a report.
Los Blancos have been heavily linked with a move for Trent Alexander-Arnold in recent months, with the England international's contract at Anfield set to expire at the end of the season.
Van Dijk, like Alexander-Arnold, is also out of contract at Liverpool at the season's end and will be eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside of England from January 1.
Although the Dutchman has expressed his desire to stay with the Reds, it seems the La Liga champions are still keen on trying to persuade him to move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Zubimendi reveals "selfish" truth behind Liverpool rejection
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F38%2Fmartin-zubimendi.jpg "Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi reacts on August 18, 2024")
Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has admitted that he had to be "selfish" in his decision to reject Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
Zubimendi appeared to be on the verge of a summer move to Anfield in the summer after helping Spain achieve glory at Euro 2024 in Germany.
Liverpool had reportedly agreed to pay Zubimendi's £51m release clause, only for the player to reject the move in favour of staying at Real Sociedad.
Zubimendi has remained a key part of the Real Sociedad side, having started 16 of the club's 17 La Liga matches, chipping in with one goal and two assists.
Arsenal, Man City table 'very attractive offers' to Barcelona star
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F47%2Flamine-yamal.jpg "Barcelona's Lamine Yamal with Dani Olmo on November 3, 2024")
Arsenal and Manchester City have reportedly sent offers to sign Barcelona attacker Dani Olmo in the January transfer window.
Olmo has registered six goals and provided one assist in 14 competitive appearances since he completed a €60m (£49.7m) from RB Leipzig in the summer.
While he only joined Barcelona in August, Olmo has seen his future with the club called into question due to an issue surrounding his registration.
As a result of their well-documented financial issues, Barcelona were only able to register Olmo with La Liga due to Andreas Christensen's injury, but his current registration will expire on December 31.
Newcastle 'could help' Man United, Chelsea 'land' £33m teenage star

Juventus are reportedly prepared to sell Kenan Yildiz during the January transfer window, with the club looking to fund a mid-season deal for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali.
The Old Lady are currently sixth in the Serie A table, three points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina, and the Italian giants are said to be determined to move for a central midfielder in January to boost their squad.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Tonali is the leading target, with Newcastle thought to want in the region of £46m for the Italian, but a major sale will need to take place for that to become a possibility.
The report claims that Yildiz is set to be available for a fee in the region of £33m, with Manchester United and Chelsea both said to be keen on the 19-year-old's services during the winter market.
Rashford latest: Man United 'make decision' over potential loan exit
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F43%2Fmarcus-rashford.jpg "Manchester United's Marcus Rashford on October 27, 2024")
Manchester United are reportedly willing to let Marcus Rashford leave on loan during the January transfer window, but the Red Devils will refuse to let him move to another Premier League club.
Rashford was left out of the squad for the Manchester derby last weekend before telling journalist Henry Winter that he was looking to leave the 20-time English champions in search of a new challenge.
The 27-year-old was again absent against Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup on Thursday night, and it remains to be seen whether he will be recalled for Sunday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.
Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim has insisted that he wants to keep hold of Rashford, but it is believed that the club are working towards a January exit due to the tension that now exists between the two parties.
"Signed all documents" - Romano confirms Man United deal for wonderkid
/https%3A%2F%2Fsportsmole-media-prod.s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net%2F24%2F51%2Fruben-amorim_1.jpg "Manchester United's Ruben Amorim on December 11, 2024")
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Diego Leon "has signed all documents" to become a Manchester United player next summer.
The left-back made 19 league appearances for Cerro Porteno during the recent campaign, scoring twice, and his breakthrough into the first team has allegedly attracted the attention of a number of major European clubs.
Man United appear to have moved quickly to secure a deal for the 17-year-old, though, with Romano claiming that "all documents" have now been "signed" to allow the defender to move to Old Trafford when he turns 18 next summer.
The English club's lead South American scout Giuseppe Antonaccio is believed to have pushed for the deal, while technical director Jason Wilcox is credited with playing a major role in negotiating the move for the youngster.
