Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup for the day! The headline might have already given you an indication of what is in store today.
So, without further ado, let’s delve in!
#5 Dybala speaks about United
Paulo Dybala had been linked with Manchester United in the summer. With Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival in Turin, there may have been a chance for the Argentine to be sold.
However, Manchester United weren’t able to sign their primary targets, let alone Paulo Dybala. That hasn’t stopped the rumours from flowing, though, as the Argentine has been asked about a potential move to the Old Trafford.
But it seems as though the former Palermo forward isn’t interested in a move right now. According to him, he is happy in Turin and has the ambition to win titles with the Old Lady.
"I'm not thinking about the transfer market,” Dybala was quoted as saying.
“Right now I'm really happy at Juventus and the focus is simply winning all the titles here."
Meanwhile, Arsenal youngster Julio Pleguezuelo has stated that he has offers from Spain but isn’t keen on going back just yet. The Gunners signed him from Barcelona in 2013 and he debuted for them in the EFL Cup game against Blackpool.
According to Pleguezuelo, his main target is to stay at the Emirates and make a name for himself.
Julio Pleguezuelo said: “I’m waiting to see how everything develops. I have to talk to my representative. My goal is to stay at Arsenal.
“I would like to continue and, if it is not here in England, I have offers in Spain, but at the moment it’s not my idea to go back.”
Signed him 2013 from Barcelona’s fabled academy, Pleguezuelo was loaned out to Mallorca and Gimnastic by former manager Arsene Wenger before Unai Emery handed him his debut last month.
#4 Merseyside
When Liverpool signed Divock Origi, he was among the most talented players in the world of football. However, he hasn’t been able to live up to the billing, which is why he might be out of the Merseyside soon.
Still only 23, he has time to revive his career and according to ESPN, Turkish giants Galatasaray are interested in acquiring his signature on a temporary basis. The report further adds that FFP constraints aren’t allowing the Turkish outfit to buy him permanently.
Meanwhile, moving to the blue half of Merseyside, Everton are interested in signing Manchester United’s out-of-favour defender Marcos Rojo. According to Metro, Jose Mourinho wants a complete renovation of his defence and could let Rojo leave as a result.
He might have only signed an extension in May this year but that might not hold much importance. Everton, along with Wolves, have been credited with an interest for him.
#3 Ndombele speaks about PL interest
Spurs might not have signed anyone in the summer transfer window but the one player they were heavily linked was Tanguy Ndombele. The Lyon midfielder might not have been signed but there are still reports linking him to the Lilywhites.
When asked about those claims, Ndombele stated that he is happy to be linked with top clubs as it is proof of his good work. He also added that while he is happy right now at Lyon, things could change in 6 months’ time if his happiness fades.
“It means I am doing well. For now, I am happy and it is good for me. But if in six months I am not happy, maybe we’ll talk about it a bit more. I am at Lyon and I am always looking ahead. I say to myself, ‘why not?’ but today I am not in any hurry,” he said.
#2 Manchester madness
Given that Manchester United didn’t sign a single central defender in the summer, there is a good chance that they will do it in the winter. After all, their backline does look bleak and Mourinho would want reinforcements.
And if this report from the Mirror is to be believed, then the Red Devils are still interested in acquiring the services of Diego Godin from Atletico Madrid. The Old Trafford outfit wanted to sign him in the summer but a deal was never finalized.
Meanwhile, the blue half of Manchester, on the other hand, have an almost perfect squad, which is why Pep Guardiola doesn’t need to sign many players anymore.
However, there is one player that Guardiola wants out of a shortlist of three men. The Spaniard wants a steely midfielder in the middle and has shortlisted Ruben Neves, Frenkie De Jong and Tanguy Ndombele, according to Evening Standard.
#1 Chelsea
Finally, the last slider of this space belongs to Chelsea today. Once again, a Spanish club is involved but we will get to that a bit later. First, let’s focus on a Serie A defender, or, more precisely, Elseid Hysaj.
Chelsea are reportedly interested in him and his agent, Mario Giuffredi, has revealed that Napoli might be willing to let him go since Kevin Malcuit has taken his place in the team.
“Chelsea in for Hysaj? If you see Napoli are playing Malcuit and looking at other players, clearly it means that there are also inquiries,” he said.
He also stated that his client has the ability to play in England and is worth €60 million.
“Hysaj is a player who can do well in English football, given he’s very physical and being watched by big clubs.
“Is he worth €50m? He’s worth €60m for me.”
Meanwhile, Don Balon make a sensational claim that Chelsea are willing to offer N’Golo Kante and €20 million for Marco Asensio. However, the Galacticos rate Kante at €60 million and the Spanish forward at €120 million, which means there is some conflict here.
