Real Madrid are reportedly preparing for a major squad shake-up next summer, with star forward Vinícius Júnior set to be sold following his frustrated reaction to being substituted against Barcelona. According to German outlet Bild, the 25-year-old Brazilian’s time at the Santiago Bernabéu could come to an end, sparking immediate interest from top European clubs. His compatriot Rodrygo is also said to be eyeing an exit in January, with Fichajes reporting that Arsenal and Tottenham are both keen to bring the 24-year-old winger to North London.
Elsewhere in England, Manchester United are reportedly ready to part ways with Jadon Sancho at no cost next summer. Talksport claims the 25-year-old winger, currently on loan at Aston Villa, will be allowed to leave for free as United look to trim their wage bill and refresh their attacking options. Roma are also monitoring United’s Joshua Zirkzee, while West Ham and Tottenham are said to be tracking Inter Milan’s German defender Yann Bisseck, according to reports from Italy.
The January transfer window could prove decisive for several Premier League clubs. Arsenal have made it clear they will not entertain any offers for captain Martin Ødegaard despite interest from Barcelona, while Everton remain firm on their £70 million valuation of defender Jarrad Branthwaite amid Manchester United’s pursuit. As the rumors swirl, could Vinícius’s potential departure from Madrid set off one of the wildest transfer domino effects in recent years? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
