Transfer News: Vinicius Junior and Key Moves in the Premier League

Vinicius Junior has informed Real Madrid of his decision not to extend his contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2027. This decision stems from a strained relationship with manager Xabi Alonso. Consequently, Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool, are closely monitoring his situation.

Liverpool has proactively initiated discussions regarding a transfer for Bournemouth and Ghana forward, Antoine Semenyo, who is valued at £65 million due to his release clause.

Meanwhile, Manchester United and Chelsea have both scouted RB Leipzig and German midfielder Assan Ouedraogo, who is just 19 years old.

Additionally, Marseille is interested in negotiating with Brighton to secure a permanent deal for Denmark midfielder Matt O’Riley, who is 25.

European powerhouse AC Milan is planning a significant move for Jean-Philippe Mateta, a 28-year-old striker from Crystal Palace and France.

In January, several Premier League clubs are expected to pursue Conor Gallagher, a 25-year-old midfielder from Atletico Madrid, should the Spanish club agree to sell or loan him out.

Paris Saint-Germain has entered the race alongside Real Madrid for Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano, who is 27 and likely to become a free agent at the end of the current season.

Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes, 24, has expressed interest in a potential move to Manchester United, particularly with the January transfer window approaching.

Portugal international Bernardo Silva, aged 31, is anticipated to depart from Manchester City once his contract concludes at the end of the season.

In a competitive bid, Chelsea and Arsenal are expected to vie for Marseille’s 18-year-old French striker Robinio Vaz, whose valuation ranges between €20 to €30 million (£17.6 million to £25.5 million).

Atletico Madrid is also considering a move for Mason Greenwood, a 24-year-old forward from Marseille, with his value estimated at around £70 million.
