Transfer rumours: Muller

Bayern Munich and Germany forward Thomas Muller has attracted interest from Newcastle United and Everton, with the 32-year-old approaching the final year of his contract with the Bundesliga side. 

Barcelona are working on a plan to raise €100m (£83.5m) to fund the signing of 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund and Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland this summer. 

Lyon’s Bruno Guimaraes has told the club he wants to move to Newcastle, who have tabled a bid for the 24-year-old Brazil midfielder.

Manchester United are considering appointing Ralf Rangnick as their permanent manager after a promising start to his interim spell in charge.

Newcastle and Arsenal are targeting Napoli’s 23-year-old Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, who is valued at £60m.

Arsenal have joined Manchester City and Liverpool in the race to sign 22-year-old Netherlands winger Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven. 

Southampton are preparing a club-record £25m bid to sign Armando Broja permanently after the 20-year-old Albania striker joined the club from Chelsea on a season-long loan at the start of the season.

Newcastle have resumed talks to sign Dutch full-back Mitchel Bakker from Bayer Leverkusen, with the Bundesliga club keen on selling the 21-year-old to the Magpies in the January window.

But the Magpies look set to be frustrated in their pursuit of a loan deal for Jesse Lingard as Manchester United are demanding too much of a fee for 29-year-old England attacking midfielder.

Wolves’ Spanish winger and Tottenham target Adama Traore, 26, is also now viewed as an option for Barcelona if they can find a deal to move France forward Ousmane Dembele, 24, out of the club.

Transfer rumours: Muller

Liverpool have made contact with Juventus and Argentina forward Paulo Dybala, with the 28-year-old’s current deal set to expire in the summer.

Arsenal’s hopes of signing Brazil midfielder Arthur Melo, 25, on loan until the end of the season from Juventus are in doubt. The Serie A giants are seeking an 18-month agreement.
