TRENDING RUMORS
– Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all looking at Ajax midfielder Jorthy Mokio, according to TEAMtalk. Barcelona and Real Madrid are also monitoring the 17-year-old, who made his first-team debut for Ajax last term and has played 60 minutes so far this season. He had already rejected offers from Barcelona and Bayern Munich to sign for Ajax from KAA Gent last year.
– Chelsea have held talks over a move for Independiente del Valle centre-back Deinner Ordóñez, according to the Daily Mail, with the 15-year-old being seen as the next big talent to emerge from the Ecuadorean club which has produced Chelsea players Moisés Caicedo and Kendry Páez as well as Piero Hincapié. Ordóñez’s performances have also caught the attention of Liverpool scouts and clubs from Spain and Germany. The defender wouldn’t be allowed to move to Europe until he turns 18 in October 2027, but Independiente are willing to agree a deal and want around £14m.
– Inter Milan are considering moving for Dusan Vlahovic when the striker leaves Juventus as a free agent at the end of the season, Calciomercato reports. Vlahovic’s time in Turin looks set to go no further than next summer, when he is out of contract with little prospect of a new deal on reduced terms being accepted. The Serbia international could have left in the last transfer window, but was unwilling to accept a drop in his €12 million salary. There is now a resignation that the Vlahovic, 25, will depart when his contract ends, but Inter’s interest isn’t concrete yet due to the financial demands and the club’s hopes for young forward Francesco Esposito.
– Borussia Dortmund could try to permanently sign Aaron Anselmino if the 20-year-old centre-back impresses on loan from Chelsea, Sport Bild reports. The Bundesliga club will take a similar approach to their one regarding Carney Chukwuemeka, when they capitalised on the midfielder’s desire to return to BVB so they could push the fee down to €20m plus add-ons rather than meeting the Blues’ request of €35m. There is no permanent option included in Anselmino’s loan.
– AEK Athens forward Anthony Martial is getting closer to joining Sergio Ramos and Lucas Ocampos at Liga MX club Monterrey, according to L’Equipe. AEK Athens had also been in talk with Pumas UNAM, but it is now expected that the 29-year-old will be representing Monterrey with negotiations close to being completed. Martial moved to Greece last September having previously been contracted to Manchester United since 2015.
