– Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimarães is on Manchester City’s short list of midfield targets, reports the Daily Mail. Sources close to the outlet indicate that City will sign at least one midfielder in January and could “test Newcastle’s resolve” next month. Their desire to bolster the position comes after the ACL injury sustained by Rodri, who has been ruled out for most of the 2024-25 campaign. As a result, Liverpool target Martín Zubimendi has also been linked with a move to Etihad in recent weeks. The Mail suggests that City want to sign a second midfielder next summer.

– Barcelona are going “all-in” to try to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah next summer, Florian Plettenberg reports. The Germany international is set to become a free agent in 2025, with Bayern Munich also pushing hard to secure a pre-contract agreement. Plettenberg reveals that a meeting took place between sporting director Deco, Tah and the player’s representatives on Thursday, as talks intensified over a potential free transfer. The 28-year-old has been at Leverkusen since 2015, playing a crucial role in the club’s first Bundesliga triumph last season.
