rumours:

The January 2024 transfer window, which opens in just over a fortnight, is set to provide us with many more expensive transfers.

Chelsea and Arsenal are in the market for a top-class centre forward and the likes of Dusan Vlahovic, Victor Osimhen, Ivan Toney and Lois Openda have all been shortlisted by both teams.

Man Utd are looking to bring in at least four new players in January; a right winger, a centre back, a defensive midfielder and a number eight, as per reports.

They also could offload a number of players, with Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek transfer listed, while Casemiro and Raphael Varane's futures are up in the air. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to take over a minority stake in the club and he will be in charge of transfer policy. The biggest question is whether Ratcliffe will sack manager Erik ten Hag.

Tottenham need more depth in their squad and will likely sign an attacking winger at the very least. Newcastle, meanwhile, have an injury crisis and may bring more bodies in. A centre midfielder to replace the suspended Sandro Tonali is a necessity. Further down the table teams are looking to buy in order to avoid relegation.

Other Premier League players are looking for regular playing time ahead of Euro 2024. These include Man City's Kalvin Phillips and Tottenham's Eric Dier.

The first confirmed transfer of January 2024 saw Brighton sign 18-year-old Romanian winger Adrian Mazilu from Farul Constanta for €3 million. It was completed a few months before the winter window opened as Mazilu was allowed to finish 2023 with the Romanian team.


PSV looking for a defensive midfielder backup for Schouten and couple of central defenders

Ajax i think will offload some of their recent new signings again

Josip Sutalo who likely to return to his home country Croatia (homesick)

Anton Gaaei (flopped so might leave on loan)



-----------------------
am curious what we Fortuna Sittard gonna do, well depends on if someone is leaving for some money, if no one leaves, we make no signings, since we have no budget otherwise and we wanna stick to FFP rules

Ivan Toney could move in the January window ..

Fortuna Sittard have signed forward Kristoffer Peterson on a free transfer after his contract at Hapoel Beer'Sheva expired

130 games in the eredivisie already for Heracles Almelo, Roda JC, FC Utrecht

[Swan]

Maatsen joining Dortmund on loan.

[Nicky91]

can see RB Leipzig also going on the market tbh, now Werner moves to Spurs



Vitesse deffo will be going on the market, as they'd want to avoid relegation (18th place currently)




Fortuna Sittard has interest in signing Thomas van den Belt on loan from Feyenoord, the new rotterdam signing has not enough playing time, since the midfielder came over last summer from PEC Zwolle

former Liverpool youth product too btw one appearance in swedish national team as well


decent signing this one, we deffo needed one extra forward anyway, kinda was thin with just Kaj Sierhuis as a strong name up front, and more youth talents to fill it up so his experience comes in quite useful for the remainder of this season

[Nicky91]

Werner is a good loan signing for Spurs

[Nicky91]

Jadon Sancho back to Borussia Dortmund on loan from Man United

[Zizu]

Eric Dier completed move to Bayern apparently

Teun Koopmeiners for 40 million to Juventus????

Juve prefer Koopmeiners over Jordan Henderson

[bitontheslide]

Al Etiffaq agreed to terminate Jordan Henderson's contract after only six months; Ajax willing to offer midfielder 18-month deal plus option of further year; they are prepared to organise a medical swiftly for him to be registered to play this weekend against RKC Waalwijk

Interesting

TalkSport just reported that Henderson has bought himself out of his 18 month contract..
But how is that possible if they’re paying him Ł700,000 a week !

Edit

Oddly enough I seem to recall Romerio buying himself out of his contract decades ago and it cost him around Ł6 million from what I remember

it depends on the terms of the contract. If he was smart, he would have had a clause put in given the environment was totally different

Henderson is apparently claiming that he hasn’t been getting paid by the Saudis !!

This story gets more and more absurd

there have been quite a few stories in the past about Saudi clubs not paying what was promised, so it's not a new thing

Also, the Qatar guy that was supposedly competing with Radcliffe to buy Man U. He at no point was able to prove that he had the funds to go through with the purchase. It was all a scam

How odd that the very day after Henderson apparently claiming he hasn’t been paid by the Saudis .. news breaks that Steven Gerard has agreed to extend his contract by two years ?!?

He should do his best to push through that transfer. Newcastle will be a PL mainstay, but it's unlikely they're gonna win any silverware in the coming years. Going to Bayern Munich he'll be competing for trophies, major trophies, every season. 100% a move a talented player like him needs.
