Former Barcelona loanee João Cancelo is once again in the sights of the LaLiga champions, while Manchester United target Yan Diomande is wanted by Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Join us for the latest transfer news and rumors from around the globe.
– Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are set to challenge Manchester United for the signature of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, Sky Sports reports. The Red Devils could accelerate in their pursuit of the 19-year-old if other clubs make a move for him in January after looking to have missed out on Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo. An offer worth up to £62m would be required to land Diomande, who is currently representing Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations.
– Multiple clubs are tracking Manchester City attacking midfielder Bernardo Silva. Calciomercato reports that Juventus and AC Milan are interested in the 31-year-old, who has also been linked with a switch to Barcelona, while clubs in Saudi Arabia could also make a move for him. Silva is in the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium, where he arrived from AS Monaco in the summer of 2017.
– A move for Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomande is being weighed up by Paris Saint-Germain, according to A Bola. It is said that the Liga Portugal side, who could be open to parting ways with him next summer, are set to stand firm over their valuation of the 22-year-old, and they will dismiss all offers that “fall short” of the €80m release clause that is expected to be included in a planned contract extension.
