(Photo by Jose Breton/Pics Action/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Barcelona have been hoping to move on one player in order to facilitate the arrival of Marcus Rashford, and while they have been without luck in this regard up until now, their fortunes could be about to change as a candidate has now emerged that appears willing to leave before the end of the winter transfer window.

Juventus considering terminating Paul Pogba’s contract despite ban reduction

According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus could consider terminating Paul Pogba’s (31) contract at the club despite the player being cleared to play again.

Man Utd considering move for striker

Manchester United continue their Europa League campaign with a trip to Portugal to face Porto on Thursday night. The Red Devils were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Dutch Eredivisie side FC Twente in their opening match of the European campaign, and manager Erik ten Hag will be desperate to see his side pick up three points on Thursday. It has been a tricky start to the new season for Ten Hag, who was under pressure last term before seemingly saving his job by beating rivals Manchester City to lift the FA Cup. United have started this campaign in poor form, though, winning just three of their nine games so far across all competitions. Last time out the Red Devils were humiliated 3-0 at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, with captain Bruno Fernandes being sent off at Old Trafford. Despite i...
