(Photo by Claudio Villa/AC Milan via Getty Images) Milan and Bologna could arrange a player-plus-cash swap deal involving Noah Okafor and Riccardo Orsolini late in January. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Sergio Conceicao’s men have lodged a formal bid for the Italian winger. However, the Bologna management firmly rejected Rossoneri’s opening proposal. Indeed, Milan offered €18 million plus Okafor for the long-serving Rossoblu stalwart, only to receive a negative response immediately. Yet, it won’t discourage them. As it looks, Milan are determined to sign Orsolini this winter. Therefore, they’ll soon pitch Bologna with a new bid. They’d put...

(Photo by Jose Manuel Alvarez Rey/JAR Sport Images/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Real Madrid are expected to address their defensive options in the summer, and signings could happen across all three positions in the backline. Trent Alexander-Arnold is wanted as the new starting right-back, and while there has been numerous names linked in the centre of defence, the situation is equally unclear on the left side. For many months, Real Madrid have been tracking Alphonso Davies, whom they want to sign for free at the end of the season when his Bayern Munich contract expires.

(Photo by Daniele Badolato - Juventus FC/Juventus FC via Getty Images) For the entirety of the first half of the 2024-25 season, Juventus have relied on Dusan Vlahovic to play from the start in just about every game he’s been available for. And in the handful of games that Vlahovic has missed due to injury, Thiago Motta has been forced to try and find some sort of makeshift solution, playing just about every other attacking player he has as a false nine in some point in time. But now, as we sit here about to hit the last week of January, another healthy striker has finally arrived. It’s very much a short-term option to what has been a season-long problem to dte, ...

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford during the Premier League match between Manchester United FC and Nottingham Forest FC at Old Trafford on December 7, 2024 in Manchester, England. Barcelona are said to be eyeing a move for Marcus Rashford, who looks set to leave Manchester United this month. A deal would be difficult, but not impossible, given that the Catalans are back within La Liga’s 1:1 rule. It would be a loan deal that Barcelona would want, and according to Sport, they would need to assume 100% of Rashford’s wages for the remainder of the season, as this is the condition set by Man United. As such, they would be required to free up €6.5m in salary space. Raising these funds is possible, given that there are at least four players (Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia, Ansu Fati and Frenki...
