Juventus and Borussia Dortmund have finally reached an agreement regarding the transfer of Emre Can, according to Goal.
With one day left in the transfer window, the Germany international will undergo a medical to finalise the deal.
The former Liverpool midfielder has been heavily linked with a switch over to the Bundesliga, but it was believed that Dortmund needed to free up some space financially before making a deal happen.
Now, after some intense negotiations and the German side’s Thursday €25 million sale of Paco Alcacer to Villarreal, it appears as if they’re finally going to get this one over the finish line. Can will initially leave on loan with an obligation to buy with the Old Lady being set to pocket nearly €30m.
Two years ago, Yannick Carrasco left Atletico Madrid for Chinese Super League outfit Dalian Yifang. Now, it seems, he’s ready to come back.
Marca reports that the 26-year-old is already in Madrid and ready to put on on the Rojiblanco shirt once more. The Belgian attacker reportedly will be reunited with Diego Simeone on a loan arrangement.
The move comes after weeks of speculation that Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani would move to the Wanda Metropolitano, but with sources telling ESPN such a move was unlikely to materialise due to the clubs failing to find a compromise on a transfer fee, Los Colchoneros quickly turned their attentions to Carrasco in order to get in additional firepower before the close of the window.
Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Real Sociedad forward Willian Jose, Sky Sports reports.
The Tottenham Hotspur target is still said to be in talks with the North London club over a potential loan deal, although they stalled after Sociedad asked for a fee of around £25 million.
United, on the other hand, want to find a temporary solution to their goalscoring problem as questions continue to be asked regarding the fitness of Marcus Rashford. It had been reported that West Ham were in the mix, but for now, the two top four contenders lead the race.
– Manchester United have failed in their attempt to sign Bournemouth forward Joshua King, The Telegraph reports. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going in search of a few more additions before the January transfer window comes to an end, but King won’t be one of his acquisitions with Cherries boss Eddie Howe standing firm and insisting that the club will be keeping hold of the Norwegian.
– Wigan Athletic left-back and United States international Antonee Robinson is set to join AC Milan, according to Sky Sports Italia. Robinson, born to an American father in England, rose up in the Everton youth ranks and joined Championship side Wigan last summer after an initial loan spell. He has also done a loan stint with Bolton Wanderers from 2017-18.
