Manchester United are ready to sit down with Marcus Rashford and thrash out a new contract after seeing his return to form under Erik ten Hag. PSG have been monitoring the forward with a view to luring him away.
United are also preparing themselves for a battle with rivals Manchester City to sign Bayern Munich wonderkid Jamal Musiala, who recently left the door open to a possible move to the Premier League in the near future.
The recent midfield crisis has convinced Liverpool that they need to go all-out for Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham next summer and Anfield officials could even try and get a deal done in January.
They will face competition from Real Madrid, however, as the Spanish champions are infatuated by the idea of lining Bellingham up alongside Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni.
Arsenal failed with a summer bid to sign Ferran Torres from Barcelona and are prepared to reignite their interest in January if the Spaniard struggles for minutes.
The January window could also see Lucas Moura leave Tottenham, but Spurs will only offload the winger if they can find a replacement first.
Pep Guardiola has an agreement with the Man City owners that they will try to sign Toni Kroos if the German midfielder is ever allowed to leave Real Madrid.
