Marmoush deal close
Man City have been tipped to tie up deal for Omar Marmoush in the next couple of days.
The Eintracht Frankfurt star is expected to cost around £40million.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that City have progressed well with talks for the player, and now a formal offer is being prepared.
Garnacho price
NAPOLI are interested in signing Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho, according to reports.
Sport Italia’s report claims that the United star may be available for just £42million
Napoli boss Antonio Conte is determined to sign Garnacho.
The Serie A side are set to lose star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG.
Heading home
Galatasaray are offering Ilkay Gundogan a chance to extend his career for another two years.
The Turkish giants – who Gundogan supported as a boy – are ready to match his £150,000-a-week wages at Man City for the next two seasons.
Talks have now opened about a possible move.
Gundogan, 34, is aware he has no chance of getting that at City and it will take a huge turnaround in form to trigger even a one-year extension.
Italian job
AC Milan must choose between Kyle Walker and Marcus Rashford as a little-known rule stops them from signing both.
The two England stars have been linked with January loan moves to the Italian giants.
SunSport understands Walker is wanted by Inter Milan, with La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that city AC are also keen.
But Milan cannot bring the City full-back and Rashford to the Rossoneri together due to Serie A rules.
They have just one spot remaining in their squad for a British player following a change in regulations after Brexit.
Restrictions say Italian teams can only bring in two non-EU squad members each year, with one bonus English or Albanian ace permitted.
Mek a move
Dortmund have reportedly entered the race to sign Chelsea youngster Carney Chukwuemeka.
Chukwuemeka, 21, was left out of Chelsea’s squad for their 5-0 win over Morecambe yesterday and has not featured at all in the Prem.
The midfielder, who joined from Aston Villa in a deal worth around £20m in 2022, has only featured five times across the Carabao Cup and the Conference League this term.
Sky Germany report Chukwuemeka is now “expected to leave” this month.
Kob deal on ice
Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim has challenged Kobbie Mainoo to show he deserves a bumper new contract – as Chelsea circle.
Mainoo’s meteoric rise means the England star remains one of the club’s lowest earners.
The midfielder wants a hike to around £200,000 a week.
Yet the United chief insists Mainoo still needs plenty of polishing and said: “Kobbie has been improving a lot over the last few matches.
“But I think you guys feel like he is the finished product – he is not.
“He is really good but can be so much better. He has so much potential to grow up even more.”
