Today’s Major Transfer News
Liverpool has received hints that Bayern Munich might consider selling Dayot Upamecano in January. The 26-year-old French defender is set to be out of contract in June 2026, and the Bavarian club may look to offload him for a reduced fee to avoid losing him for free next summer. Chelsea has also shown interest in acquiring the center-back.
Manchester City is keeping a close eye on FC Köln’s promising talent, Said El Mala, according to Sport1. The 19-year-old has netted three goals in his first six matches, attracting attention from top clubs across Europe, including City, Chelsea, and Liverpool. However, the young player is contracted until June 2030, leaving Köln under no urgency to sell.
Everton manager David Moyes has expressed his admiration for Ivan Toney, yet he remains focused on developing the strikers currently at his disposal. The England international, now with Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia, has been linked with a possible loan return to the Premier League ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Moyes commented, “I’m sure Ivan Toney would be linked with about 20 clubs, never mind ours, because he’s such a talented player,” adding, “Right now, we have what we have, and we aim to develop them and improve, while also needing results.”
