Transfers home page<\/a> | Men’s summer grades<\/a> | Women’s grades<\/a><\/p>\n TOP STORIES<\/p>\n – Sources: City in advanced talks for Bournemouth’s Semenyo<\/a> – Fulham<\/a> are interested in signing USMNT and PSV Eindhoven<\/a> striker Ricardo Pepi<\/a>, according to The Daily Mail<\/a>. Fulham boss Marco Silva is in the market for more firepower up front alongside Ra\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez<\/a>, 34, and Rodrigo Muniz<\/a>, who is on his way back from injury. Pepi, 22, has scored nine goals so far this season and was a target for Fulham and West Ham United<\/a> last summer. He is now the preferred option ahead of Fiorentina<\/a> striker Moise Kean<\/a>, but PSV value his transfer at around \u20ac40 million.<\/p>\n – Napoli<\/a> have been heavily linked with a loan move for Real Madrid<\/a> midfielder Franco Mastantuono<\/a>, but Madrid have closed the door on any departure, according to Marca<\/a>. Mastantuono, 18, only moved from River Plate for \u20ac45 million in the summer and has already become Los Blancos’ second-youngest debutant in the Champions League and their fourth youngest goal-scorer in LaLiga history. Napoli had been enquiring about a loan deal as they seek midfield reinforcements, but their interest was quickly quashed before any concrete offer was made.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n – Bournemouth are expecting a late bid to sign winger Antoine Semenyo<\/a> from Liverpool<\/a>, says The Telegraph<\/a>. The Ghana<\/a> forward has seemingly been destined for a move to Manchester City<\/a> in recent days and wants his future resolved by Jan. 1, as he has a release clause of \u00a365 million that expires in a few weeks. But Semenyo could still be a target for Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and could have a big decision to make soon. Meanwhile, Bournemouth are set to replace Semenyo with Leicester City’s Abdul Fatawu<\/a>, 21, who is expected to be available for transfer at around \u00a330 million, according to The Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n – Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> will be active in the January transfer window, and the club have been linked with a host of players. TEAMtalk<\/a> says Spurs will attempt to beat the likes of Manchester United<\/a>, Chelsea<\/a> and Real Madrid to the signing of Crystal Palace<\/a> Adam Wharton<\/a>, while Bayern Munich<\/a>‘s Leon Goretzka<\/a> is also a target as his contract expires in the summer. The Evening Standard suggests that Manchester City winger Savinho<\/a> appears to be off limits, but lists other targets including Manchester City<\/a> forward Omar Marmoush<\/a>, FC Porto<\/a> forward Samu Aghehowa<\/a>, Juventus<\/a> star Kenan Yildiz<\/a> and Barcelona<\/a> wantaway keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen<\/a>.<\/p>\n – Barcelona are looking to find a new left-footed center back in January, with Manchester City reportedly willing to part with Nathan Ak\u00e9<\/a> for a fee of around \u20ac25 million, according to Sport<\/a>. Ake, 30, hasn’t played as much first-team football as he would have liked in recent weeks and wants to solidify his chances of playing for Netherlands<\/a> at the 2026 World Cup. His ability to play at full back would be beneficial to Barcelona, but a number of English clubs are interested in him too.<\/p>\n EXPERT TAKE 2:16<\/p>\n Is Emmanuel Emegha the answer to Chelsea’s striker situation?<\/p>\n Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens discuss Strasbourg striker Emmanuel Emegha who has agreed to sign for Chelsea and will join them next summer.<\/p>\n OTHER RUMORS <\/p>\n – Galatasaray are hoping to sign Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte on loan, with a permanent clause added for around \u20ac25 million, though Lyon and Napoli are also interested.
