      Chelsea in Marquinhos transfer blow with Brazilian defender set to sign new long-term deal at PSG this month

      by

      However, he has been linked with numerous transfers over the past few years.
      Chelsea failed with a £72million bid for the star in 2021.
      Some reports claim they still hold an interest in the South American.
      But it now seems those hopes of snapping him up could be over despite him entering the final 18 months of his current Paris deal.

      PSG’s former sporting director Leonardo started talks over an extension last term.
      His successor Luis Campos is now continuing those negotiations and Marquinhos has now provided an update.
      Speaking to the French media about his future following PSG’s shock 3-1 defeat by Lens in Ligue 1, Campos said: “Talks are progressing well.”
      According to Le Parisien, the only stumbling block now is with regards to the length of Marquinhos’ contract, most notably whether it will run until 2026 or 2027.

      He is still reeling from missing the vital penalty in Brazil’s crushing World Cup quarter-final shootout defeat by Croatia last month.
      Discussing that agony, Marquinhos added: “Our life as a footballer is like that. There are many emotions, beautiful and less beautiful.

      “Since I was eight, I’ve known how it goes. Experience gives you even more intelligence to handle moments like this.
      “It was a really tough World Cup. The two or three days after the elimination were complicated.
      “With time, with work and family support, everything passes. Today I feel better and better and I try to find my form as soon as possible.
      “It’s on the pitch that we feel the best, playing and winning.” More

      Arsenal recall Miguel Azeez from UD Ibiza loan after just ten games after Mikel Arteta’s transfer plea

      by

      ARSENAL have bolstered their ranks by recalling Miguel Azeez from his loan at UD Ibiza after Mikel Arteta’s transfer plea.The Gunners were left frustrated on Tuesday after they were held to a goalless draw by Newcastle United at The Emirates.

      That stretched their advantage at the top of the table to eight points – but rivals Manchester City can close the gap to five with a win over Chelsea tomorrow.
      With striker Gabriel Jesus ruled out through injury, Arteta is desperate to bring in reinforcements during the January transfer window.
      And his lack of options were evident last night as he decided to make just one substitute during the game, which was right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu replacing Ben White.
      Now he could have one extra option to call on after Arsenal decided to bring back England U20s international midfielder Azeez.

      The 20-year-old, who also had a brief spell at League One Portsmouth last year, was sent out to Spanish second tier outfit UD Ibiza for further first-team experience.
      However, he has featured just ten times for the club, with just two of those coming in the last nine games.
      Whether or not Arteta decides to keep him around for extra options remains to be seen as he continues to be linked with new signings.
      Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk has emerged as the Gunners’ No1 January target.

      However, we reported earlier how the Ukrainian club are set to reject Arsenal’s improved £62million bid for 21-year-old amid Chelsea’s late interest.
      Arteta was quizzed about his squad’s depth following yesterday’s stalemate and whether if it would have helped having a new signing in his ranks.
      He replied: “I don’t know. That’s something more for Edu and the board to respond. “We are really trying to improve the squad in every window.
      “We’re trying to do our best because we cannot waste any windows still with the squad and the numbers that we have. We will try.” More

      Five Man Utd stars at risk of January transfer exit with £254m worth of players including Sancho and Maguire

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are at risk of losing five players in January, including Jadon Sancho and Harry Maguire. If the quintuple all depart Old Trafford it would see the club sell players brought for a combined total of £254million.

      The club reportedly do not have much money to spend this month due to a large summer outlay so could be forced to sell before acquiring any pricey players they want.
      Here are five Red Devils stars that could leave.
      Jadon Sancho
      Sancho has returned to Man Utd training after a spell practicing alone in Holland.
      Manager Erik ten Hag became worried over the player’s physical and mental readiness.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      He did not join Man Utd’s warm-weather camp in Spain during the World Cup and despite him being back at Carrington, he is supposedly still training alone.
      The ex-Borussia Dortmund star is clearly struggling following his £73million move in the summer of 2021.
      Since his arrival, Sancho has netted just eight goals in 52 appearances.
      He was part of Ten Hag’s plans at the beginning of the season but it now feels like a long way back for him to regain a place in the starting XI.

      Especially with Alejandro Garnacho being promoted to the first-team and impressing.
      Sancho could benefit from a move away from Man Utd to rediscover all the talent he showed in the Bundesliga.
      Harry Maguire
      Maguire may have started Man Utd’s last game, the win over Bournemouth, but he is no longer part of the first choice centre-back pairing.
      Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are Ten Hag’s go to guys at the back and the £80million England star is left on the bench regularly.
      The club captain lost his first-team spot just two games into the season after defeats versus Brighton and Brentford.
      He has gone on to feature 12 times in all competitions for United this campaign and he impressed at the World Cup in Qatar.
      However, the 29-year-old may not be satisfied with sitting on the bench and he has been linked with a move away.
      Club legend Rio Ferdinand has urged him to leave and Maguire has rumoured suitors in Tottenham, Newcastle, West Ham and Aston Villa.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka joined the club from Crystal Palace in 2019 for a fee of £45million, with £5million in add-ons.
      Despite the plan to make the 25-year-old United’s long-term right-back, his days at Old Trafford seem numbered.

      Ten Hag prefers Diogo Dalot in defence and Wan-Bissaka has featured just five times this season.
      He was close to departing in the summer but the club could not sign a replacement, so he stayed.
      His contract runs out in 18 months, although there is a one-year extension option.
      A return to Crystal Palace is on the table, as is a reported potential loan transfer to West Ham.
      Scott McTominay
      Scott McTominay has been at Manchester United since the age of five, but there is a chance he could leave in January.
      The Scottish star has lost his place in the starting XI due to the arrival of Casemiro.

      The Brazilian has been fantastic partnering Christian Eriksen in midfield and Fred can also provide back-up for them.
      Man Utd have been linked with the likes of Frenkie de Jong and Enzo Fernandez in recent months.
      For the club to be able to afford and have space for those possible signings, McTominay could have to make way.
      Anthony Martial
      Anthony Martial is enjoying a spell in the side, playing as the No.9 after Cristiano Ronaldo’s acrimonious exit.
      United are in the market for a new out-and-out striker despite the Frenchman’s positive run of form.

      Man Utd have a tough run of games
      Goncalo Ramos, Joao Felix and Memphis Depay have been rumoured to be on Ten Hag’s shortlist.
      With little budget for this month’s window, United are eyeing loan deals.
      Read More on The Sun
      However, if they sign someone permanently then they could raise funds using Martial.
      The 27-year-old joined Man Utd in 2015 from Monaco for a fee of £36million and since then he has met £15.4million worth of add-ons for goals scored and France national team caps won. More

      He is set to become the club’s most expensive player with a £22million transfer fee already in place.
      When speaking about the transfer, manager Thomas Frank told Brentford media: “I think Kevin is a typical Brentford signing. He is a young, promising talent that we see a big potential in.
      “We have been following him for a while and we think he will suit our style of play.
      “He can play anywhere across our front three positions. He could play for us on either wing or as the central striker.

      “He has great pace and is very promising in the way he runs behind defences.
      “He is very good aerially, in both boxes, and can develop even more to be a real threat as an offensive option with his head.
      “We like the way he presses when the team do not have the ball. He is willing to work very hard for his team.
      “We see him as a player that could have a big potential to be a fine goal scorer and it is great to have him at Brentford. Our coaching staff are looking forward to working with him.”

      Schade made his Freiburg debut in August 2021 and has since scored six goals in 36 appearances for the club.

      Arsenal launched a £52m opening bid for the winger, which was promptly rejected.
      And according to the Mail, their follow up £62m offer will also be turned down.
      Shakthar value their prized asset at around £88m.
      And Chelsea entering the race has only strengthened their bargaining position.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      The Blues are yet to make an official bid for Mudryk, but are set to open talks for his signature this week.
      Shakhtar chief Darijo Srna is in London and is expected to attend Chelsea’s clash with Manchester City tomorrow.
      A bid of £60m plus £20m in add-ons could be enough for the Blues to beat Arsenal to signing Mudryk.
      Shakhtar believe an offer in this region to be a fair price, given the fees paid for Jack Grealish (£100m) and Antony (£85.5m) in recent seasons.

      Mudryk has made no secret of his desire to join the Gunners – openly admitting his admiration for the club and posting photos watching their recent matches.
      Should the Gunners fail to stump up the cash, however, he could find himself heading to West London instead.
      Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin is claimed to be in contact with both Arsenal and Chelsea as he aims to get the biggest fee possible.
      Chelsea are also keen on Argentine World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez.
      But Benfica’s eye-watering £112m price tag could prevent the Blues from signing both he and Mudryk. More

      Todd Boehly is on track to spend £520MILLION on transfers in just seven months at Chelsea with five-player January spree

      Fans feared the days of heavy spending at Stamford Bridge were over after Roman Abramovich sold up last year.
      But American businessman Boehly showed he’s ready to invest by spending £270m on signings last summer.
      Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arrived to boost Chelsea’s first-team squad.
      And there were plenty of signings to strengthen the youth sides too, with Carney Chukwuemeka and Cesare Casadei arriving for sizeable fees.

      But Boehly’s spending spree is set to continue into winter with at least five more players.
      Here, SunSport’s Anthony Chapman takes a look at the aces being tipped for a Stamford Bridge switch…
      ENZO FERNANDEZ – £112m
      Chelsea emerged as favourites to sign the Benfica midfielder after he helped Argentina to World Cup glory.

      The tournament’s Best Young Player has a whopping £105m release clause, forcing most teams to abandon their pursuit.
      But Chelsea are ready to pay a bit more money in THREE instalments to secure a deal AND beat Financial Fair Play restrictions.
      Should a deal fail to materialise, Chelsea are also thought to be interested in Alexis Mac Allister – although Brighton have made it clear they have no intention of selling.
      Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham and West Ham captain Declan Rice are also on Chelsea’s list, but any move will have to wait until the summer.

      Ukrainian ace is the latest superstar to interest Boehly, despite widely being tipped to join Arsenal.
      Chelsea are now targeting the Shakhtar Donetsk star despite previously being linked with AC Milan’s Rafael Leao.
      And Chelsea’s willingness to meet Shakhtar’s £88m asking price – albeit in instalments – could give them the edge over the Gunners.

      Chelsea’s defence has not looked the same since Antonio Rudiger left on a free transfer to Real Madrid.
      But Monaco star Badiashile is the ideal man to fix Graham Potter’s backline.
      The left-footer is already a seasoned operator at 21 and for £35m could be a real bargain for the Blues.

      DAVID DATRO FOFANA – £10m
      Already being hailed as the new Didier Drogba, Ivory Coast striker Fofana is the first signing Chelsea have made this month.
      He was a target for Potter at Brighton but now incredibly finds himself at one of the world’s biggest clubs.
      Whether Fofana plays a role this term remains to be seen, but he comes at a snip and is sure to have an impact in the future.

      What may seem like a mind-boggling bargain for an elite-level player is actually just what it will cost to take Felix on loan for five months.

      Arsenal’s latest bid of £62million is still well short of Shakhtar’s asking price.
      And Chelsea will hope to pounce with negotiations set to take place this week.
      As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Shakhtar Donetsk club director Darijo Srna will be in London and is expected to attend Chelsea’s home clash with Manchester City tomorrow.
      It is thought the two clubs will discuss a possible deal for Mudryk in the next 24 hours after already holding initial talks.

      Should Chelsea meet Shakhtar’s asking price – around £60m with a further £20m in add-ons – and beat Arsenal’s contract offer, they could land the exciting youngster.

      Mudryk has made no secret of his desire to join the Gunners – openly admitting his admiration for the club and posting photos watching their recent matches.
