Hello and welcome to this Thursday’s transfer rumours blog.
Chelsea’s out of contract defender Andreas Christensen could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge as both Bayern Munich and Barcelona are interested in the Dane.
Donny van de Beek has been used sparingly since his move from Ajax to Manchester United in the summer of 2020, but Ralf Rangnick wants the Dutchman to stay at Old Trafford and turn down offers from elsewhere.
Fuenlabrada have come in for Real Madrid Castilla centre-back Marvel, but Los Blancos do not want to loan him out and he will instead stay with Raul Gonzalez’s side.
Barcelona would like to sign Valencia left-back Jose Luis Gaya and Chelsea right-back Cesar Azpilicueta, who is into the last six months of his contract at Stamford Bridge, according to Sport.
Arsenal are in talks with Juventus to sign Arthur Melo on loan without an option to buy, say Sky Sport Italia.
Barcelona are keen to loan out Sergino Dest with an option to buy, according to the Telegraph, and one club that is reportedly keen on him is Chelsea, who have had problems at full-back this season.
Newcastle United are determined to land Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos in this transfer window, but their offer of 25 million euros on Thursday is still seen as being insufficient by the Andalusian club.
