PSG Talk

Paris Saint-Germain was interested in signing Ademola Lookman from Atalanta last summer, but the move never materialized. However, a recent report suggests the Ligue 1 club are still keen on landing the Nigerian forward.

Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano, via Viva El Fútbol, reported that PSG’s interest in Lookman remains strong. The 27-year-old is now evaluating his options ahead of a potential summer move, but Juventus are also in the race for his signature.

According to GIVE ME SPORT, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur have been closely monitoring Lookman over the past year, with scouts from all four clubs recently keeping tabs on him.

TEAMtalk previously reported that West Ham United are among several clubs tracking the Atalanta winger. With strong Premier League interest, Atalanta are reportedly holding out for more than £60 million.

What’s the latest on Ademola Lookman?

According to Fichajes, Lookman is increasingly likely to leave Italy, with a move to the Premier League as his most probable destination. The Nigerian forward has been in strong form for Atalanta, drawing interest from several top English clubs.

Atalanta’s board reportedly prefers to sell him outside of Italy, giving Premier League teams an edge in the race for his signature.

Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea are all in the mix for the 27-year-old, with offers expected to be around €45 million, plus performance-based bonuses, per the report.

Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Dean Huijsen as they sought to strengthen their defense, but the Spanish center-back ultimately joined AFC Bournemouth. If PSG targets him again, they’ll face stiff competition.

PSG added Willian Pacho to their backline, but with Milan Škriniar likely to make his loan move to Fenerbahçe permanent, the club could still be in the market for another center-back this summer.

Huijsen has continued to impress in England with steady performances in the Premier League, earning widespread praise. His strong form has caught the attention of several top clubs.

As a transfer battle brews for the young defender, one club that seems poised to make a serious push is Liverpool.

The suitors for Dean Huijsen continue to grow

Manchester City have reportedly entered the race to sign Dean Huijsen this summer, according to GiveMeSport (h/t AS). The 19-year-old Spanish Under-21 international, considered one of Europe’s top center-back prospects, will have his release clause activated next summer.

He’s been impressing under Andoni Iraola, and several European clubs are interested in securing his services. CaughtOffside previously reported, citing sources, that Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG are all tracking Huijsen.

The 19-year-old has a release clause of around £50 million, but that figure could rise if he signs a new contract with Bournemouth.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have secured Matheus Cunha with a long-term contract extension, despite significant interest in him during the winter transfer window.

Rumors surrounding his future persist, though. Cunha has become a key player for Wolves, impressing in various attacking roles.

Whether he’s playing as an attacking midfielder, second striker, or center-forward, the Brazilian has adapted quickly and made a real impact.

His performances have drawn the attention of top clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, all of whom are reportedly keeping an eye on him, according to Fichajes.

Although Wolves value Cunha highly, reports suggest they may entertain offers above €70 million. Sky Sports News also revealed that Nottingham Forest made a club-record bid of around £60 million for him during the winter window.

Premier League clubs keen on Matheus Cunha this summer

Fichajes reports that Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Chelsea are actively considering triggering the £62 million release clause in his contract with Wolves.

Recently, journalist Graeme Bailey spoke about Cunha’s future and noted that Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group will have to cough up a lot of money to get a deal done for Cunha.

“He’s clearly one they’re aware of, they like him,” Bailey told RousingTheKop. “He’s had a fantastic season and he’ll certainly be in contention but he won’t be cheap. He’s certainly on Liverpool’s radar, though, as with a few others.”

Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Dean Huijsen as they looked to bolster their defense, but the Spanish center-back ended up joining AFC Bournemouth instead. If PSG makes another move for him, they’ll have plenty of competition.

PSG strengthened their backline with Willian Pacho, but with Milan Škriniar likely to make his loan to Fenerbahçe permanent, they could be in the market for another center-back this summer.

Huijsen has continued to impress in England, delivering consistent performances in the Premier League and earning plenty of praise. His strong form hasn’t gone unnoticed, drawing interest from several top clubs.

While a transfer battle is shaping up for the young defender, one club that appears to be ready to make a serious run is Liverpool.

Liverpool could make an aggressive push for Dean Huijsen

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool are making strong progress in their push to strengthen the squad, with sporting director Richard Hughes working on the club’s first major summer signing. Meanwhile, interest in a top Bournemouth star is gaining momentum.

“I can confirm once again to you that Liverpool are really, really advancing in the process to identify the center-back they want to sign in the summer,” Romano told his YouTube channel. “Liverpool will go for an important center-back.

“In an internal meeting they had with Richard Hughes, with people on the board involved and Arne Slot too, they all agreed on bringing in an important center-back in the summer transfer window.

“When I say important, it could be an important talent, it could be an established player. But my information is that Liverpool want to invest in young players for present and future, so this could be the view.

“Let’s see what happens; we know their position on [Dean] Huijsen. Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern, and Newcastle are all keen on signing him. There will be many clubs in the race.

“Liverpool are also monitoring other players, actively working on the new centre-back, working to identify who is the player they really, really want to bring in.”

CaughtOffside previously reported, citing sources, that Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG are all tracking Huijsen.

The 19-year-old has a release clause of around £50 million, but that figure could rise if he signs a new contract with Bournemouth.

Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, but no deal came together. However, a recent report suggests the Ligue 1 club remains interested in signing the Nigerian standout.

Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported in October that Lookman is open to a new challenge, sparking speculation about a potential move in the winter transfer window.

Meanwhile, TEAMtalk previously reported that West Ham United is among several clubs keeping an eye on the Atalanta winger.

With multiple Premier League teams considering a move, Atalanta is reportedly asking for more than £60 million.

Are Liverpool a serious contender for Ademola Lookman?

After Atalanta was knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, Gian Piero Gasperini criticized Lookman for his missed penalty in their 3-1 loss to Club Brugge. Lookman later responded to his coach on social media.

As Lookman appears to be on the way out, Fichajes reports that the attacker is on Liverpool’s radar should Luis Diaz leave Anfield in the summer.

The report suggests the Reds are aware that the Colombian’s departure is a real possibility, with multiple teams showing interest in him. As a result, the club’s sporting management is exploring options in the market, and Lookman is a strong candidate.

He fits the profile they’re looking for—a quick, skillful winger who can take on defenders one-on-one. Plus, his Premier League experience with Leicester City and Fulham works in his favor.

Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain were linked with Dean Huijsen as part of their plans to strengthen the defense, but the Spanish center-back ultimately joined AFC Bournemouth. If PSG decides to pursue him again, they’ll face tough competition.

While the club did bring in Willian Pacho, who has been a solid addition, Milan Škriniar is expected to make his loan move to Fenerbahçe permanent, which could push PSG to target another center-back this summer.

Huijsen has continued to impress since his move to England, earning praise for his consistent performances in the Premier League. His strong form has caught the eye of several top clubs now showing interest.

How Tottenham Hotspur view Dean Huijsen

On Tuesday, TBR Football reported that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make Cristian Romero their highest-paid player. However, if the Argentine rejects them, Spurs have targets prepared to pursue to replace him.

According to the report, Marc Guehi, Dean Huijsen, Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah, Antonio Silva and Tomas Araujo are among those the North London club are watching closely.

Recently, CaughtOffside reported, citing sources close to the situation, that Huijsen is attracting interest from Man Utd, Chelsea, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG.

The report also states that the talented 19-year-old has a release clause worth around £50 million, but Bournemouth hope he’ll sign a new contract to raise that clause’s value.

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani came to an end after the French striker decided to join Juventus instead of moving to the Premier League this January.

The 26-year-old has had a tough time making a significant impact during his first two seasons at PSG, fueling rumors of a potential move this month.

Kolo Muani has played just 453 minutes across all competitions this season and has failed to secure a regular starting spot. His absence from PSG’s last three matches of 2024 has only raised more questions about his future at the club.

TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, reported that Tottenham are ‘gutted’ to miss out on Kolo Muani. However, the Premier League side remains eager to strengthen their attack before the January transfer window closes.

TEAMtalk reports that Tottenham are eyeing a move for Ipswich striker Liam Delap this month, although they may face competition from Chelsea. The 21-year-old has a transfer value of €25 million per Transfermarkt, but with these two sides keen, the price will increase.

Rúben Amorim’s decision to leave Alejandro Garnacho out of last month’s Manchester derby has sparked speculation about the winger’s future at Manchester United.

According to the Daily Mail, Garnacho is no longer considered “untouchable” at Old Trafford, with top European clubs like Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Barcelona showing interest.

Although a transfer doesn’t seem imminent, Manchester United could entertain offers of around £70 million. However, clubs like Atletico Madrid and Juventus might struggle to meet that asking price at the moment.

Journalist Steve Kay recently reported that Tottenham has made a serious inquiry about Garnacho’s availability. Additionally, CaughtOffside has claimed that Atletico Madrid, his former club, along with PSG and Juventus, are closely monitoring the situation.

While United may be open to selling if the right offer comes in, Atletico and Juventus may find it difficult to match the club’s valuation.

Are Tottenham a serious threat to secure Alejandro Garnacho?

CaughtOffside reported on Sunday, citing sources, that Manchester United are ready to consider letting Garnacho leave if they receive a good enough offer this January. Moreover, the report reveals that Tottenham have joined the race for Garnacho, having received information on his situation.

Napoli had a £40 million offer for Garnacho rejected earlier this month, but according to Italian outlet Tuttosport, they’ve now returned with a second, higher bid.

The report claims that Antonio Conte’s side has offered €55 million (£46.5m / $56.7m) for the Manchester United winger. Garnacho is said to have already agreed to personal terms with Napoli for a five-year contract worth €3 million (£2.5m / $3.1m) annually.

Following the sale of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Napoli have the financial capacity to meet that price, although it’s uncertain if they will go that high. Other clubs, including Chelsea, are also reportedly keeping an eye on the situation.

However, Manchester United are said to be sticking to their £60 million asking price and are not willing to let him go for less this month.

Milan Škriniar’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is uncertain, with manager Luis Enrique seemingly favoring Willian Pacho and Marquinhos as his first-choice center-back pairing.

This has sparked fresh speculation about Škriniar’s potential departure. After turning down offers in the summer, the Slovak defender could now be open to a move, with the January transfer window approaching.

L’Équipe reported that Škriniar is expected to make a decision on his next move soon, as PSG is reportedly exploring a loan deal with an option to buy.

Škriniar has attracted interest from Galatasaray, Tottenham, Napoli, and Aston Villa. While Napoli isn’t offering a purchase option, the Premier League clubs are said to be particularly appealing to him.

According to CaughtOffside, PSG might be willing to sell Škriniar for around €35 million, with two Premier League clubs reportedly in the mix.

Ben Jacobs provides the latest on Spurs’ interest in

Tottenham are reportedly considering a loan offer for Skriniar, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. However, PSG’s preference, if they decide to part ways with the defender, is a permanent transfer.

“Spurs are looking at an initial loan, but PSG want Škriniar’s departure to be permanent,” Jacobs shared on X. As he pointed out, PSG’s stance is clear—any move for Skriniar must be permanent if the club has its way.

Milan Skriniar remains an option for Spurs, as revealed on @LastWordOnSpurs earlier this month.

If Škriniar makes the move to the Premier League, it would need to be a sale, not a loan. PSG have already reached the maximum number of loaned players abroad for this season, with FIFA setting the cap at six. This is why Randal Kolo Muani’s loan to Juventus has faced complications.

PSG have already loaned out Xavi Simons (to RB Leipzig), Carlos Soler (to West Ham United), Nordi Mukiele (to Bayer Leverkusen), Renato Sanches (to Benfica), Cher Ndour (to Besiktas), and Juan Bernat (to Villarreal). This marks a shift from last season, when FIFA allowed up to seven loaned players.

Milan Škriniar’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is up in the air, as manager Luis Enrique seems to prefer Willian Pacho and Marquinhos as his go-to center-back duo.

This situation has reignited speculation about Škriniar’s potential departure. After rejecting offers during the summer, the Slovak defender could now be open to a move with the January transfer window just around the corner.

According to L’Équipe, Škriniar is expected to decide soon on his next destination, with PSG reportedly seeking a loan deal that includes a purchase option.

The defender has drawn interest from Galatasaray, Tottenham, Napoli, and Aston Villa. While Napoli isn’t offering a purchase option, the Premier League clubs are said to be especially appealing to him.

A report from CaughtOffside claims that PSG could be willing to sell Škriniar for around €35 million, with two Premier League clubs showing interest.

What’s the latest on Tottenham pursuing Milan Škriniar

Football Insider reported on Saturday, citing sources, that Tottenham could sign Škriniar in the January transfer window to help resolve their defensive issues.

The report also notes that Aston Villa and Galatasaray have shown interest in the 29-year-old, with clubs aware of his potential availability.

Tottenham’s interest comes amid a defensive injury crisis, with Archie Gray stepping in alongside Radu Drăgușin at the back.

Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are expected to return from injury in January, but the transfer team is exploring additional options to add depth this month.

Škriniar’s availability has caught Tottenham’s attention, and they are now considering a late mid-season move for the experienced Slovakia international.

If a move to the Premier League does happen, it will need to be a sale rather than a loan. PSG have already reached their limit for players loaned abroad this season, with FIFA capping the number at six, which is why Kolo Muani’s loan deal to Juventus has hit a roadblock.

The Ligue 1 club have hit the quota with Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig), Carlos Soler (West Ham United), Nordi Mukiele (Bayer Leverkusen), Renato Sanches (Benfica), Cher Ndour (Besiktas), and Juan Bernat (Villarreal). This is a change from last season when FIFA allowed up to seven loaned players.
