TRENDING RUMORS
– Chelsea are continuing to explore the market for a goalkeeper, with Barcelona’s Marc-André ter Stegen a potential option on loan. TEAMtalk reports that a move in January for the 33-year-old is a possibility, but competition from clubs across Europe, as well as his hefty salary, could make the deal difficult to secure. The Blues are also reportedly keen on AC Milan’s Mike Maignan, who could be brought to Stamford Bridge next summer on a permanent deal after the club previously looked at him in January.
– Barcelona are “closely monitoring” the situation of Atletico Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, according to Sport. The 25-year-old is reported to be weighing up his options at the Wanda Metropolitano, with plans to look to leave the club if they fail to win any silverware this season. Despite having a release clause in his contract worth €500 million, Atleti could have no choice but to discuss a deal if Alvarez decides that he wants to move on. This season, the Argentina international has scored seven goals while assisting another three in 11 games across all competitions.
