Transfer rumour roundup: Palmer shrugs off Man United pursuit; Spurs set £90m Van de Ven price | OneFootball

There are over three months until the transfer window opens again for business, but that has now slowed the rumour mill down. Here are the biggest rumours from around Europe.

Cole Palmer remains committed to the Chelsea project, despite continued interest from Manchester United. Palmer has been earmarked as a marquee signing for the Red Devils, with the 24-year-old considered a long-term replacement for Bruno Fernandes. Despite a mixed start to the campaign at Chelsea, Flashscore are reporting that Palmer remains focused on success at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United are also monitoringMicky van de Ven's situation at Tottenham Hotspur. Ekrem Konur claims Michael Carrick's side and Liverpool are watching things closely, as Spurs struggle under Roberto De Zerbi. Van de Ven signed a new deal in August, and Spurs would demand a world-record £90m fee for a defender.

Liverpool's interest inVan de Ven comes as the Reds consider long-term replacements for Virgil van Dijk. The 35-year-old is out of contract next summer with AC Milan preparing an approach. Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti claims the Dutch defender will move to Milan 'sooner or later'.

Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur also reportedly have centre-backs in their sights. Bayern Munich insider Christian Falk has said Kim Min-jae is of interest to the Premier League pair. As a replacement, Bayern are keen on Benfica defender Tomas Araujo.

Finally,Premier League teams hoping to snare Manu Kone from AS Roma will have to pay big bucks. After setting a price tag of around £52m in the summer, the Italians now want closer to £100m. Roma are using Sandro Tonali's transfer to Tottenham as a gauge for that price tag, following Kone's brilliant start to the season, say Gazzetta dello Sport. Chelsea had an approach for Kone turned down late in the summer window as the Blues sought to replace Enzo Fernandez.
