In addition tobattling Liverpool and Bayern Munich for Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet, the Blues are also keen on a deal for teenage teammate Mohamed Kader Meite. CaughtOffside claim Manchester United are also pursuing the 18-year-old forward.

Fresh from a goal againstWolves this weekend, Omar Marmoush is back in the headlines. Bayern Munich are discussing the merit of bringing the former Eintracht Frankfurt forward back to the Bundesliga, says Transfer Feed, as the Egyptian struggles to dislodge Erling Haaland from the City side. Galatasaray have also enquired, though Marmoush's preference is the Premier League, amid loan interest from Aston Villa and Spurs.

Meanwhile,Liverpool are set to pull the plug on Andy Robertson's proposed switch to Spurs. After considering a proposal from the North Londoners for the left-back, the Reds are set to say 'Ta, but no thanks' to the £5m package for the club's vice-captain.

The rumours continue to swirl around Robertson's old ally,Trent Alexander-Arnold. After a tough time at Real Madrid this season, talk of an exit continues. TEAMtalk say Manchester City are keeping a close eye on the situation.

If Trent thought a move to Madrid upset theLiverpool fans, pitching up at the other end of the East Lancs would rip up his remaining reputation...

Across Europe,Premier League teams hoping to pinch Fenerbahce forward Youssef En-Nesyri have been handed a boost. The Moroccan's move to Juventus is off, amid unhappiness over the terms.

“En-Nesyri has doubts over deal formula [loan] and now after assessing this case we consider the negotiations over. We will not sign En Nesyri on permanent deal”, Juventus's very Football Manager-coded Director of Football, Giorgio Chiellini, revealed.
