Chiesa making quick return to Italy?
Federico Chiesa is being linked with a move back to Italy this January.
The forward only left Juventus to join Liverpool in August but has played just 78 minutes since his arrival.
In a report by the Mirror, via Italian press, the 26-year-old could leave The Reds as early as this winter.
“Calciomercato report that Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan are all sides who could gamble on making a January move for Chiesa, to resolve the situation temporarily,” writes the outlet.
“Chiesa has a deal until 2028 so has time to turn his fortunes around.
“The Italian press even suggested the 'Slap from Slot' had merit with Tuttosport suggesting: ‘It’s now too common to feel embarrassed when comparing the intensity of one of our teams to that of an English, a German, a Spanish or even a French team.’”
Antony heading for exit door
Manchester United attacker Antony could be set for a move in January.
The Brazilian has started only one game this season – a 7-0 Carabao Cup win over Barnsley – and The Red Devils are said to be considering allowing him to leave on loan.
The Manchester Evening News carries a report from Goal Brasil which claims a number of Premier League teams are interested in the winger.
“A report by Goal Brasil claims United would be open to letting the winger leave on loan in the new year while adding that 'multiple Premier League sides' have already asked about his availability,” reads the article.
“It's believed that Antony 'prioritises' staying in Europe and Ajax are also mentioned as an option. Antony's value is reported to have decreased to just £21 million (€25m) since joining United for £85m in 2022.”
Rashford wants to quit Man Utd
A "sensational" report claims Marcus Rashford wants to leave Manchester United in January.
The Spanish outlet Nacional carry the story and it has been picked up by UK transfer website TeamTalk.
Rashford has scored just one league goal so far this season and is said to be growing increasingly frustrated with the club, who are 12th in the table.
The article reads: "A sensational report has claimed Marcus Rashford has asked to leave Manchester United at the earliest opportunity in January, and three potential moves – one of which would see the forward join a Premier League rival – have been touted.
"And according to a bombshell report from Spanish outlet Nacional, Rashford seemingly believes the fault for his decline lays with Man Utd.
"It’s claimed Rashford ‘believes there is neither an ambitious nor stable project’ in the works at Old Trafford. As such, it’s remarkably claimed he ‘has already asked his agent to try to get him out of there.’
"The attacker is said to be seeking a move away ‘as soon as possible’ and in the upcoming January transfer window if viable.
"The report then named three clubs who ‘would be delighted to secure the services’ of Rashford in just over two months’ time – Aston Villa, Napoli and Marseille."
