According to TalkSPORT, Arsenal has been keeping a close eye on Atalanta striker Mateo Retegui, with scouts sent to monitor the 25-year-old's progress. Retegui has been in impressive form this season, topping the Serie A Golden Boot standings with 12 league goals to his name.

Real Sociedad sporting director has issued a strong statement regarding the future of midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who has been linked to top clubs like Liverpool and Manchester City. In an interview with Estadio Deportivo, the sporting director emphasized the club's determination to retain Zubimendi's services. “There's little peace of mind about the clauses, but throughout this time Martin himself has shown us that above the clauses are the will,” he said. “So far, we have seen how he has behaved, I don't foresee any scares in January.”

The January transfer window is just around the corner, and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has emerged as a prime target for several top clubs. Rashford's future at United appears increasingly uncertain, having been omitted from recent matchday squads. As a result, speculation surrounding his potential departure has intensified.

Barcelona have been prominently linked with Rashford, and according to Football Transfers, they have now made their move. The Catalan giants have reportedly approached Manchester United with a proposal for an initial loan deal. This agreement would include an option to make the signing permanent in the summer for a fee of €42 million.
