Newcastle United

Newcastle have a number of midfielders on their list, but nothing advanced at the moment, they will decide in the next days. For sure, James Maddison remains very high on the list but not an easy target for January, could be more realistic as a summer deal. There is also concrete interest in Conor Gallagher, but the decision will be made by Chelsea soon as Graham Potter likes the player.

Newcastle are also one of the clubs interested in Youssoufa Moukoko, along with Barcelona. He’s been offered a new contract by Borussia Dortmund on very good terms, so let’s see what happens.

Away from transfers, Newcastle are happy with Bruno Guimaraes injury news, it’s not too serious; it will take some weeks to be back, not months.

Nottingham Forest

Official, confirmed. Nottingham Forest have signed Danilo on permanent deal from Palmeiras, contract until 2029

Danilo: “It was a dream for me, I spoke to Gustavo Scarpa and he told me that Nottingham is a great city and Forest have a quality squad with good staff.”

Tottenham

Tottenham will insist again for Pedro Porro deal this week as contacts are still ongoing with intermediaries. The Spanish right-back is keen on the move but Sporting insist on €45m release clause. A new round of talks is set to take place soon.

Spurs are also considering a new goalkeeper. There are three or four names on the list at Tottenham. But they’re focused on January window, it’s too early to say who’s going be the new goalkeeper. Full focus is on January.

Valencia

Valencia will announce new deal for Mouctar Diakhaby, contract agreed until June 2027. Gennaro Gattuso wanted Diakhaby to stay as priority after Jose Gaya new deal signed months ago.

Wolves

Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui on Pablo Sarabia deal: “No comment — but can confirm we’ve an interest in signing new players.”

Pablo Sarabia’s deal will be completed this week for €5m plus add-ons. He will sign the contract as Wolves player on Tuesday — medical tests have been booked. Here we go confirmed.

Both Sarabia and Joao Gomes will be unveiled as Wolverhampton player this week, confirmed.
