TRENDING RUMORS

- Bayern Munich hold an advantage over Manchester City when it comes to Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guéhi, according to Footmercato, who suggest that the 25-year-old would prefer to move to Germany. The Bavarians hope to sign him as a free agent in the summer while City want to move now due to injuries sustained by Josko Gvardiol and Rúben Dias. Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs who have been linked with the England international, whose admirers also include Real Madrid and Barcelona.

- Michael Carrick has growing support within Manchester United for the role of interim manager, with sources telling ESPN's Mark Ogden that the former Old Trafford has significant backing within the existing squad to assume the role. United are hoping to confirm the appointment of an interim manager within the next 48 hours, with Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer both having spoken to the club about the position.

- Juventus are looking at Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta as they consider possible replacements for Dusan Vlahovic with the Serbia international's contract being set to expire in the summer, as reported by Tuttosport. AC Milan were unsuccessful in their attempt to sign Mateta in the summer, but the Eagles could reduce their €40m demands to a valuation between €20m and €25m with the 28-year-old's contract ending in 2027. Juve will continue to monitor the France international in the coming weeks.

- Toronto FC have submitted an $18m bid for Norwich City and USMNT striker Josh Sargent, a source has confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Carlisle. The bid comes after Sargent refused to play in Norwich's 5-1 FA Cup victory over Mansfield on Sunday. "This is obviously not something we want and will have consequences," Norwich manager Philippe Clement said. "It is something we need to speak about inside the club, but the club has made it really clear to Josh and his agent that he will not be leaving during this transfer window."

- Juventus want to sign Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa on loan but Liverpool only want a permanent departure, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport, who add that Atalanta's Daniel Maldini is Juve's first alternative. The Italian giants want to wait until Mohamed Salah returns from the Africa Cup of Nations before determining Liverpool's true stance on Chiesa. They are also considering Al Shabab's Yannick Carrasco, Fiorentina's Albert Gudmundsson, Brentford pair Kevin Schade and Mikkel Damsgaard, Sunderland's Simon Adingra and Atlético Madrid's Thiago Almada.
