TRENDING RUMORS

– Barcelona are among the various big-name clubs interested in RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, according to Diario Sport. The Blaugrana’s scouting manager and Deco’s assistant, Joao Amaral, was at a meeting in Milan between agents, intermediaries and sporting managers and used that as an opportunity to watch the 20-year-old when Norway faced Italy. Nusa scored Norway’s equalizer in the 4-1 win, which officially sealed their place at the country’s first World Cup since 1998.

– Manchester City could trigger Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo’s £65 million release clause during the January transfer window, The Times reports. The Citizens have been monitoring the 25-year-old, as they are looking to bring in somebody who can help ease the goal-scoring burden being put on Erling Haaland at the Etihad. Various reports have linked the Citizens with a potential summer move for Semenyo, who is also a target for Premier League champions Liverpool, but it appears they may now be ready to take action earlier.
