Watford winger Othmane Maamma has caught the attention of Manchester United and Liverpool. Additionally, Aston Villa is considering acquiring Omar Marmoush from Manchester City, potentially outmaneuvering Tottenham Hotspur.
TRANSFER UPDATES
Aston Villa is keen on signing Omar Marmoush after Tottenham showed interest, according to TEAMtalk. Marmoush joined City for €70 million in January 2024 but has had limited playing time this season. City, however, is not eager to sell the Egyptian international who is abroad for the Africa Cup of Nations.
WINGER ON THE RADAR
Both Manchester United and Liverpool are keeping an eye on Othmane Maamma from Watford, as reported by TEAMtalk. The 20-year-old has netted three goals and provided one assist in 12 matches this season, showcasing his talent during the U20 World Cup where he earned the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player.
OTHER TRANSFER INTERESTS
Real Madrid has plans to pursue Manchester City midfielder Rodri in the summer, according to Marca. The 29-year-old recently returned from injury but is under contract until 2027. Madrid hopes to negotiate a lower transfer fee before he becomes a free agent next year.
NOTABLE RUMORS
As Real Madrid aims to sign Rodri, Tottenham is examining various wingers including Ademola Lookman and Savinho. Additionally, Tiago Gabriel from Lecce has piqued the interest of prominent clubs including Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Lecce is, however, unwilling to let him go this January without a sizable offer.
RECENT SIGNINGS
In completed transfers, Japan midfielder Maika Hamano has joined Tottenham on loan from Chelsea. Moreover, Inter Miami has signed defender Facundo Mura as a free agent, with a contract that extends until June 2029.
