🔄 Liverpool Face United in Wharton Battle & City Monitor Trent Situation
Download MP3Hello and welcome to the Transfer News Podcast! I'm Archer, and what a day we have lined up for you this Friday, the sixth of February, two thousand and twenty-six. The rumour mill is absolutely spinning, and we've got everything from Liverpool rivalries to managerial speculation. Let's dive straight in.
First up, Liverpool are set to rival Manchester United for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. This is fascinating because both clubs clearly see something special in the young Englishman, and it could turn into quite the bidding war between Arne Slot and Michael Carrick's sides.
Juventus are showing interest in Everton striker Beto. The Italian giants are reportedly keen on the powerful forward as they look to bolster their attacking options, which could provide David Moyes with some much-needed funds.
Inter Milan want to take Liverpool's Curtis Jones on loan. The Serie A side are looking for midfield reinforcements and see Jones as an ideal short-term solution, though it remains to be seen if Arne Slot would be willing to let him go.
Raheem Sterling is in talks with seven clubs as he looks for his next move. The experienced winger has plenty of options on the table, showing there's still significant demand for his services across Europe.
Staying in Italy, Juventus are eyeing both Randal Kolo Muani and Joshua Zirkzee. The Old Lady are clearly in the market for attacking reinforcements and are casting their net wide to find the right fit.
Brighton have rejected an approach for captain Lewis Dunk. Fabian Hurzeler has made it clear that the centre-back is not for sale, underlining his importance to the Seagulls' plans.
Nottingham Forest have made a thirty-five million pounds bid for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Sean Dyche is clearly keen to add firepower to his Forest side, and Mateta has been in impressive form this season.
Manchester City are keeping tabs on Trent Alexander-Arnold. Pep Guardiola's side are monitoring the Liverpool right-back's situation closely, which will be a concerning development for Reds fans.
Tottenham could pay five million pounds for Liverpool's Andy Robertson. Thomas Frank is reportedly interested in the Scottish left-back as he looks to strengthen his defensive options at Spurs.
Despite speculation, there will be no Real Madrid exit for Trent Alexander-Arnold this window. The Liverpool defender looks set to stay put for now, though his long-term future remains uncertain.
Mohamed Salah remains a prime target for the Saudi Pro League. The Egyptian superstar continues to attract significant interest from the Middle East, where clubs are willing to offer astronomical wages.
Aston Villa are targeting Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Unai Emery is keen on bringing in the versatile midfielder to add depth to his Villa squad as they continue to compete on multiple fronts.
Villa are also interested in Jean-Philippe Mateta. So they're competing with Nottingham Forest for the Palace striker's signature, which could drive up his price considerably.
Ibrahima Konate's contract situation at Liverpool remains unsettled. The French defender's future is still up in the air, and Arne Slot will be keen to get this resolved sooner rather than later.
Chelsea are open to selling Enzo Fernandez. Liam Rosenior's side are reportedly willing to listen to offers for the Argentine midfielder, which would be a stunning development given his record transfer fee.
Chelsea have made a move for young talent Jacquet. The Blues continue their strategy of signing promising youngsters as they look to build for the future under Rosenior.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is on Manchester United's radar. The Austrian has impressed at Palace, and with Michael Carrick only interim at Old Trafford, United are considering their options for a permanent appointment.
Atletico Madrid want Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes. The Brazilian has caught the eye of the Spanish side, and Rob Edwards may face a fight to keep hold of one of his key players.
In other Sterling news, the winger is unable to join a Premier League club this window. Regulations prevent him from making such a move, which narrows his options considerably.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to finalise a move to Celtic. The former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder is heading north of the border to continue his career in Scotland.
