Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Hull City’s 23‑year‑old goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis as a long‑term replacement for Alisson Becker. The Sun reports that the Reds have taken an interest in the Greek international after his standout performances in the Premier League this season. Hull are expected to enter negotiations next month with several suitors, and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with the move, with a potential fee of around £40 million.
In other transfer chatter, Manchester United are keeping a close eye on 19‑year‑old Fulham striker Josh King, who has scored twice in six Premier League appearances. Football Insider says the club could pay as much as £50 million for the young forward, but a deal is likely to materialise next summer rather than in January. King is reportedly open to a switch to Old Trafford, and other European clubs are also interested in the promising attacker.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are preparing to offer a new contract to midfielder Jude Bellingham as they look to strengthen their midfield after missing out on Rodri. Fabrizio Romano reports that the Spanish club is prioritising securing Bellingham’s future with a two‑year extension that would keep him at the Bernabéu until 2031.
Arsenal are moving quickly to lock in key players for the next season. TEAMtalk confirms that the club is close to signing new deals for midfielders Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard, as well as defender Jurriën Timber. All three players have made regular appearances this campaign, and Arsenal hope to have the extensions in place before January.
Liverpool are also reviewing their options at right back. Football Insider notes that the club is considering a winter transfer to replace Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, who have struggled for game time. Frimpong has not started since August, while Bradley is still recovering from a knee injury sustained against Arsenal. One of the names on Liverpool’s shortlist is Barcelona defender Jules Koundé, who has recently been linked with a move to Chelsea.
Other notable transfer movements include Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlović attracting interest from Manchester City, Real Madrid and Manchester United; Ajax’s defender Aaron Bouwman being pursued by Newcastle; Juventus looking at Coritiba goalkeeper Pedro Morisco; and Brentford and Sunderland monitoring Rangers defender Olwethu Makhanya. Juventus may also revisit interest in Lazio midfielder Kenneth Taylor, while Cesena is seeking to secure defender Andrea Ciofi on a new contract until 2029. Former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has reportedly expressed a willingness to join Manchester United if the club were to part ways with Michael Carrick.
