Pogba Linked with Manchester City Move
Manchester City is considering a move for Paul Pogba, the French midfielder formerly of Manchester United and Juventus, who is set to return to football in March after serving a doping ban. The 31-year-old’s potential move to City, while still under discussion, faces reluctance from Pogba himself. His uncertain future at Juventus has placed him back on the radar of major Premier League clubs, with City showing the most interest at this point.
Pogba’s Reluctance to Join Manchester City
Despite City’s interest, sources suggest that Pogba is hesitant about making the switch to the Premier League champions. The midfielder’s relationship with English football remains complicated after his high-profile departure from Manchester United in 2022. Though a move to City could offer Pogba a fresh start, concerns about his transition into Pep Guardiola’s squad persist.
Newcastle United Eyes Mohammed Kudus
Newcastle United is targeting West Ham’s Ghanaian winger Mohammed Kudus as a possible January signing. The 24-year-old has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool, but Newcastle is looking to steal a march on their rivals. However, the Magpies will need to offload players to raise the necessary funds for Kudus’ potential transfer.
Liverpool Faces Contract Tension with Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool’s star defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has hinted that contract negotiations with the club will remain private, as his current deal expires in the summer. Real Madrid has expressed interest in the England international, intensifying speculation over his future at Anfield. The club’s ability to extend Alexander-Arnold’s contract could be crucial in maintaining their defensive stability.
Bayern Munich Rules Out Kane Replacement in January
Bayern Munich has confirmed they will not pursue a replacement for injured striker Harry Kane in January. The club’s sporting director, Max Eberl, has ruled out any mid-season acquisitions despite the England international’s ongoing recovery from injury.

Other Notable Transfer Rumors
Elsewhere in the transfer market, Manchester City has expressed interest in re-signing Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen. Wolves and Nottingham Forest are reportedly battling for Atalanta’s Ben Godfrey, while AC Milan may consider selling Theo Hernandez if contract talks stall.
