Earlier today, the transfer of David de Gea to a prominent Premier League club has been formally announced.

Manchester United is reportedly planning to bring back David de Gea on a short-term deal as Andre Onana, his replacement, departs for the Africa Cup of Nations. De Gea, who was released in the summer, has not yet joined a new club. Additionally, both Manchester United and Liverpool have shown interest in Real Sociedad defender Robin Le Normand.

There is uncertainty surrounding Bayern Munich’s interest in Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha. Jose Mourinho is expected to leave Roma in the summer, and there are speculations about a potential swap deal involving Roma’s Tammy Abraham and Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea is considering a substantial €100m (£87m) bid for Barcelona’s Gavi, taking advantage of Barcelona’s financial situation. Manchester City has set a minimum valuation of £80m for striker Julian Alvarez, dissuading potential suitors Barcelona and Real Madrid. Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus is attracting interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is exploring the option of using Manchester United’s interest in Takefusa Kubo. The plan involves triggering Kubo’s €60m (£52m) release clause and then selling him to Manchester United for €70m (£61m). The funds generated could be used for a potential move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who is on the radar of manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Liverpool is gearing up to compete with Manchester City for the signing of Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen, contemplating a potential January departure from Stamford Bridge for the Dutch player. Tottenham Hotspur is trying to fend off competition from Newcastle United in the pursuit of Juventus winger Federico Chiesa. Juventus, facing financial challenges, is open to selling the £60m-rated star.
