Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's daily transfer roundup. December is speeding past us and we're just a little more than 2 weeks away from the opening of the winter transfer window.
With clubs not expected to hold back in January, we are likely to see quite a few major deals getting finalized in the winter. As such, the transfer bull is abuzz and top clubs are all busy lining up transfer targets and doing everything in their power to get the right reinforcements in the short window they're going to be afforded.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the top transfer stories that made headlines on 7th December 2018.
Alex Sandro set to renew contract at Juventus
Longtime Manchester United transfer target and Juventus left-back Alex Sando is all set to sign a new deal with Il Bianconeri according to Calcio Mercato.
Calcio Mercato's Fabrizio Romano claims that the Brazilian has come to an agreement with the Serie A giants over a new contract and will put pen to paper very soon. This comes as a huge blow to the likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain who have been monitoring Sandro's situation for quite a while now.
Juve sporting director Paratici has been trying to come to an agreement with Alex Sandro's team for a while now and it looks like they have worked out something to both parties' liking. The new contract will reportedly tie Sandro to Juve till 2023.
For quite a while, it looked like both parties would fail to reach an agreement and that this was likely to be the Brazilian's last season in Turin. Juventus are now growing resigned to the fact that Marcelo might not be a realistic target after seeing their approaches rebuffed by Real Madrid and have hence been forced to come to an agreement with Sandro's entourage.
The announcement is expected to happen soon.
Tottenham enter race to sign Arsenal target Cengiz Under
According to Corriere Dello Sport via Daily Mirror, the North London rivals are going to go head to head as they both pursue AS Roma's Turkish sensation Cengiz Under.
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly had their £30 million bid for the Roma striker rejected. The Serie A giants want £45 million for the 21-year-old.
Gunners are also keeping a keen eye on the young striker and had sent scouts to watch AS Roma's match against Inter Milan where Under scored a thunderbolt.
Cengiz Under is dubbed the next Dybala and has also garnered interest from the likes of Manchester United and Barcelona.
Manchester United beat Juventus and PSG to sign Noam Emran
As per RMC Sport, Manchester United have beaten Juventus and PSG to sign young striker Noam Emeran. The 16-year-old has been on the watchlist of a handful of top clubs in Europe like PSG, Juventus and Valencia.
The report claims that the teenager has had his mind set on joining Manchester United for a while now and did not give in to the other clubs' attempts at convincing him to sign for them.
Emeran is said to cost United close to €10 million despite his age. Manchester United now need to agree terms with Amiens and Emeran will be all set to join when the winter transfer window opens.
Ajax wonderkid Frenkie De Jong to join PSG
Frenkie De Jong, the 21-year-old who has droves of potential high-profile suitors has finally chosen his destination. It will be Paris Saint-Germain, according to De Telegraaf via Calcio Mercato.
According to the report, Paris Saint-Germain sports director Antero Henrique met with his Ajax counterpart Marc Overmars and agreed on a deal.
Ajax quoted a price of €75 million to which Paris Saint-Germain readily agreed. De Jong will join PSG in the summer after snubbing the likes of Barcelona, Manchester City and Juventus.
Real Madrid agree terms with Eden Hazard
The news that Chelsea fans have dreaded for quite a while now has finally surfaced. The Chelsea talisman, Eden Hazard, has now agreed personal terms with Real Madrid ahead of a potential move, according to Radio Station Onda Madrid via AS.
Hazard is currently contracted to Chelsea till 2020. The Blues want the Belgian to extend his stay at Chelsea but he has made it clear that he wants to join Real Madrid.
Chelsea have reportedly slapped a €170 million price tag on Hazard. However, the report also claims that Los Blancos will not be willing to pay that much for a player whose contract expires in a year and a half.
Real Madrid are hoping to use Mateo Kovacic as leverage in any potential deal for Eden Hazard and with several reports claiming that Kovacic wants to stay at Stamford Bridge beyond his loan spell, everything could work out in Real Madrid's favour.
