Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd fear Bruno Fernandes exit, Liverpool talks, Spurs medical

Liverpool want €20m for Federico Chiesa as negotiations with Juventus continue. That’s according to Italian publication Calciomercato.com, who are reporting that the Reds have set Chiesa’s price tag at €20m and are only going to discuss a permanent transfer for the Italian winger.

The report goes on to claim that Juventus are pushing for a loan deal with an option to buy that will become mandatory if certain conditions are met. The Reds signed Chiesa from the Old Lady in August 2024 in an initial £10m deal after he was deemed surplus to requirements by former manager Thiago Motta.

But the Italy international has only made 34 appearances for the Reds to date, returning four goals and four assists. Juve manager Luciano Spalletti, who previously coached Chiesa with Italy, played down such speculation about a move for the Liverpool forward earlier this month.

“I am pleased you are giving me this news, seeing as we haven’t even had a meeting yet on the transfer market,” he said, per Football Italia. “But it’s the first I’ve heard of it. For the moment, it’s just thrown out there, but absolutely nothing concrete behind it.”

Liverpool do not intend to allow right-back Calvin Ramsay to leave on loan this month. That’s according to the Daily Mail, who are reporting that Arne Slot wants to keep the full-back so that he can provide another option following Conor Bradley’s knee injury.

Bradley underwent surgery on a season-ending knee injury earlier this week. The Northern Ireland international was carried off in the closing stages of the Reds’ goalless draw at Premier League leaders Arsenal last Thursday.

He faces a race to recover in time for this summer’s World Cup, should his country qualify through the play-offs. Ramsay, meanwhile, is yet to feature in the Premier League for the Reds so far this season.

Murillo is among the players being considered by Manchester United as they seek a new central defender for next season.

That is according to the Daily Mail, who are reporting that Murillo is open to leaving Nottingham Forest next summer despite signing a new, improved four-and-a-half-year deal in January 2025.

The report then goes on to claim that the defender is prominent on United’s radar as they prepare for the departure of Harry Maguire.

Reports in Italy claim Liverpool want £17.3million (€20m) to sell Federico Chiesa back to Juventus this month.

The Serie A giants are showing interest in their former winger given his lack of game time at Anfield.

But the Reds will only sell for a huge price - more than the £12.5m they paid to sign him in the summer of 2024.

Juve have been pushing for a loan deal with an option to buy, or an obligation dependent on certain conditions.

Liverpool vice-captain and veteran left-back Andy Robertson says he's in talks with the club about extending his contract.

The 31-year-old Scot's current deal expires at the end of this season but he could yet enjoy a 10th season at Anfield.

He said: "We've had chats now which will remain private. I've spoken to them and we'll see what happens. Would I like to stay? Yes, but it's a difficult question to ask.

"I've got five months left and we need to see the option to stay or if there's options to go and things like that. I'll sit down with my family and decide."

Fulham captain Tom Cairney has ruled out leaving the club this month despite interest from Championship high-flyers Ipswich Town.

"I can’t really see myself wearing any other kit," said Cairney. "I know that sounds weird to say, but it just does.

"But, listen, football is chopping and changing all the time, anything can happen.

"I want to play up to the season, I want to keep on playing, my contract does end at the season, so we’ll have to see what follows."

Manchester United have no plans to sign a new player this month despite appointing Michael Carrick as their interim head coach until the end of the season.

That's per Sky Sports who say United are focused on signing two top-level midfielders in the summer instead.

United saw Antoine Semenyo as a market opportunity but after missing out to Man City are unlikely to move for another winger, such as Yan Diomande.

That could only change if another club acts on their interest in the RB Leipzig forward.

Manchester United insiders are fearful Bruno Fernandes will finally leave the club this calendar year, say reports.

Sources have told The i Paper there is a general fear that Fernandes is fed up with the mess United are in and will try to engineer an exit.

The captain, 31, has fielded interest from Saudi Arabia before while Bayern Munich are another potential destination.

Fernandes' contract reportedly includes a clause giving him permission to join a club outside England for £57million.
