Man Utd & Arsenal eye Porto's Costa - Tuesday's gossip
Arsenal and Manchester United eye Porto defender Alberto Costa, Manchester City will not let Erling Haaland leave on the cheap if they are relegated, Liverpool retain an interest in Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, plus more.
Manchester United and Arsenal are monitoring Porto's young Portuguese right-back Alberto Costa, aged 22, as they seek new talent. However, they are up against competition from Paris St-Germain for the coveted position. Meanwhile, Manchester City is likely to demand a substantial fee for Norway's Erling Haaland, 26, if the club faces relegation from the Premier League due to financial rule violations.
Haaland's transfer prospects are closely monitored by several top teams, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, as they follow the situation surrounding Manchester City and the potential sanctions that may come with relegation. 31-year-old former Chelsea and Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has been linked with two French Ligue 1 clubs, but neither showed interest in the Englishman, who is currently a free agent.
Besiktas president Serdal Adali has stated his determination to sign Newcastle's Joe Willock, 27, in January, claiming the English midfielder has already chosen a new home in Turkey. Additionally, Eddie Howe, the former Newcastle boss, has ruled out returning to Premier League management with a lower or mid-ranked club, preferring instead to take over at an underachieving big club.
