Barcelona Eyeing Omar Marmoush, Real Madrid Worries About Laporte's Salaries, while Manchester United Gets Ready for Nkunku
Barcelona's recent interest lies with Omar Marmoush, the Eintracht Frankfurt striker who scored 14 goals and 8 assists in just 15 appearances. Joan Laporta, the Blaugrana president, reportedly sees the 25-year-old as a statement signing that could replace Robert Lewandowski in the future. To secure this promising player, an offer worth €45 million is believed to be required.
In other news, Aymeric Laporte and Real Madrid remain a hot topic as Carlo Ancelotti hopes to reinforce his team's defence with the Al Nassr centre-back. However, Laporte's high salary demands pose an obstacle, necessitating a revision before the Santiago Bernabeu hierarchy can proceed with an official approach.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Christopher Nkunku of Chelsea is courting interest from Manchester United. Given his lack of regular first team play under Manager Enzo Maresca, the 26-year-old forward may well consider leaving Stamford Bridge in January.
Meanwhile, AC Milan is in negotiation with left-back Theo Hernández regarding a new contract. Hernández, 27, has shown the desire to seal a long-term commitment with the Rossoneri, although salary disputes seem to be an issue as the Serie A club demands proof of his worth on the pitch.
Finally, Bayern Munich has joined Real Madrid's interest in the potential signing of Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah. The current season's end will see Tah as a free agent, though Bayern, in particular, is closely monitoring any chance of a January transfer attempt by Los Blancos.
