Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd shortlist two more stars as Liverpool prepare £65m bid

The January transfer window is almost upon us and Premier League clubs are making their final preparations ahead of a busy month of deals. The first half of the 2024-25 season has emphasised the need for many teams to improve their squads.

Not many fans would have predicted the underperformance of Manchester City this season. Nor, to a lesser extent, Arsenal. Neither of the two teams who have competed for the title in the last few seasons look ready to challenge Liverpool and Chelsea at the top without further reinforcements.

Liverpool themselves may benefit from a couple of additions to bolster Arne Slot’s squad and ensure the Reds claim a first league title since 2020. Then there is Manchester United, who look like they could need a whole host of new signings to fit into Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation.

Liverpool launch £65m Marc Guehi bid

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to bid £65m for England defender Marc Guehi.

The 24-year-old will enter the final 18 months of his contract at Crystal Palace next month.

Newcastle came close to signing the centre-back in the summer but a deal could not be agreed.

Liverpool are long-term admirers of Guehi and CaughtOffside claims that a £65m bid is in the offing.

Man Utd shortlist wing-back additions

Man Utd have reportedly shortlisted Nuno Mendes and Theo Hernandez in a bid to improve at wing-back.

Ruben Amorim has inherited a squad which includes very few natural wing-backs. January could be the time to prioritise moves for that position.

According to Sky Germany, PSG’s Mendes, 22, and AC Milan’s Hernandez are being eyed by Old Trafford chiefs.
