Transfer news live: Man Utd explore Amorim replacement, Liverpool close in on wonderkid, Man City chase Guehi

Close

Is this the rant that got Amorim sacked by Manchester United?

Liverpool , Arsenal and Tottenham are some of the early movers and shakers in the transfer market – along with Manchester United following the sacking of Ruben Amorim .

Big-money transfers and superstar moves are often few and far between during the winter window but there are already suggestions that this month could be different to the norm, with Manchester City looking most likely to secure a deal for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo .

That move – which it has been suggested will hit around the £65m mark – could be wrapped up in the coming days, and the usual suspects are also looking to make moves to improve their squads, with Liverpool considering Marc Guehi as well as a couple of star young defenders in Ifeanyi Ndukwe and Joel Ordonez.

Plenty of eyes are on Manchester United too, who were reported to be monitoring Carlos Baleba before Amorim’s dismissal.

Real Madrid are said to be interested in Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton who has plenty of suitors in the Premier League including Liverpool while City’s Rodri has once again been linked with a move to the Spanish giants.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are set to appoint Liam Rosenior as their new boss after the sacking of Enzo Maresca and Arsenal are touted to reignite their long-standing interest in Rodrygo of Real Madrid .

Manchester City have suffered a major injury blow as Josko Gvardiol broke his leg in Sunday’s draw with Chelsea.

The Croatia international will undergo surgery later in the week as City wait to see how long their reigning player of the year will be sidelined.

But he is set to miss the Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle , the Manchester derby and their remaining Champions League group-stage matches.

Could City ramp up their transfer plans in a bid to find a replacement - maybe in the form of Marc Guehi?
