Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is attracting increased interest from Saudi Arabian clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah.
The only niggle in a potential sale, which United would be willing to do, is that most Saudi clubs have their full quota of foreign players and need to sell this month before they can bring in new recruits.
Casemiro is one of the club’s highest earners having joined from Real Madrid in 2022 for £60m and earns £350,000 per week.

Arsenal told huge Muani fee
Arsenal have been chasing a new striker according to many reports over the past few weeks and Randal Kolo Muani seems to be one they are considering.
News out of Italy doesn’t give them enormous optimism though that it’ll be an easy deal to do this month, as Tuttosport say Serie A clubs have been priced out by PSG’s demands.
They have little interest in a loan deal and instead want upwards of €60m for the French striker, leaving Juventus and AC Milan sidelined.
Arsenal and Galatasaray are still looking at the options.

No Nunez talks for Liverpool and Milan
Reports from Italy over the midweek period suggested AC Milan were keen on Darwin Nunez and were preparing a loan-to-buy deal, starting from €5m and with an eventual price of around €45m (£37.5m).
However, Mail Online say that’s a premature speculation, with Milan yet to get in touch with the Reds over any possible bid.
Milan have a new boss in Sergio Conceicao after sacking Paulo Fonseca.

Villa still in talks with BVB over Malen
Donyell Malen could become the next Dutchman in the Premier League, with the versatile attacker a target for Aston Villa.
The Mail Online report discussions have been ongoing between the Midlands side and Borussia Dortmund, with a view to a permanent deal being struck.
Villa offered £15m plus add-ons, Dortmund want £25m or so.
Offloading them would give room to move in PSR terms and allow United to strike fast if a chance came up this month to buy.

Liverpool refuse to consider Trent sale in January
Reports over the past day or two suggest that Real Madrid are likely to return with a more firm offer for Trent Alexander-Arnold, after initial conversations were shut down by Liverpool.
However, the i paper are saying the result will be the same: the Reds will reject any possibility of letting their right-back leave in midseason, instead focusing on trying to land trophies and convince him to sign a new contract instead.
Alexander-Arnold, who is the club’s vice captain, can now talk freely to Real and arrange a move without a fee at the end of the season.
