🔥 Rashford Route Back? Mainoo Exit Bombshell & Rodrygo Wants Out

Happy Sunday, Transfer News fans! Welcome to your daily dose of Premier League transfer news and rumours. Yesterday brought some absolutely seismic developments, including a potential Kobbie Mainoo exit bombshell and Marcus Rashford's possible route back into contention at Old Trafford. Let's dive into all the key stories you need to know.

The biggest headline from Old Trafford is the shocking news that Kobbie Mainoo reportedly wants to leave Manchester United. If true, this would be absolutely seismic for the club. The 20-year-old midfielder has been one of the few bright spots in United's challenging season, and losing him would represent a massive blow to both the present and future of the club.

In a potentially positive twist, Marcus Rashford may have found a route back into Ruben Amorim's plans. The specifics remain unclear, but this development will be closely watched by United fans desperate to see their homegrown star rediscover his best form. Rashford's situation has been one of the soap operas of the season, and any reconciliation with Amorim would be significant news.

United's transfer activity isn't slowing down either. The club are considering multiple moves:

Mikel Arteta is clearly prioritizing defensive reinforcements, with Arsenal reportedly monitoring Newcastle's Tino Livramento. The young right-back has impressed at St James' Park, and the Gunners are keeping close tabs on his development. With Ben White's injury concerns this season, adding quality depth at right-back makes perfect sense.

Arsenal are also in the mix for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, joining what's becoming quite a crowded race for the England international's signature. Interestingly, Barcelona have apparently cooled their interest in Guehi, which might open the door for Arsenal and other Premier League suitors to make their move.

In outgoing news, Bournemouth are showing keen interest in teenage midfielder Ethan Nwaneri. The young talent has been turning heads with his performances, and Andoni Iraola clearly sees something special in him. A loan move could provide valuable first-team experience for the Arsenal youngster.

In a major development from the Bernabéu, winger Rodrygo reportedly wants to leave Real Madrid. This is a development that will have several top clubs across Europe sitting up and taking notice. The Brazilian has been a key player for Los Blancos, and his departure would create a significant gap in their attacking options.

Madrid aren't sitting idle in the transfer market though, as they're joining the race for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. Oliver Glasner won't want to lose one of his most promising talents, but when Madrid come calling, it's historically very hard to say no. Wharton has been one of the breakthrough stars of the Premier League season.

Enzo Maresca's side are keeping tabs on Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali. The Italian has had a challenging time recently following his betting ban, but his undeniable quality makes him an attractive prospect for Chelsea's ambitious project. Tonali's technical ability and work rate would fit well into Maresca's system.

Chelsea and Leeds are also both monitoring Manchester City's James McAtee, another young English talent generating significant interest. McAtee has struggled for game time at City, and a move could unlock his considerable potential.

On the outgoing front, there's movement around Conor Gallagher, with Manchester United eyeing a potential loan deal for the midfielder. Despite being a Chelsea academy graduate, Gallagher's future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain under Maresca's management.

Eddie Howe faces a battle to sign Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. West Ham are also interested in the Norwegian forward, with their manager keen to bolster attacking options in January. It's shaping up to be quite the tussle for his signature, with Newcastle needing to act decisively if they want to secure the striker.

In potential departures, Saudi Pro League clubs are targeting Joelinton, as the Middle Eastern leagues continue their aggressive pursuit of Premier League talent. The Brazilian has been a key player for Newcastle, and losing him would be a significant blow to Howe's squad depth.

Arsenal's interest in Tino Livramento also represents a concern for Newcastle, as the young right-back has been impressive since his arrival. Keeping hold of emerging talents while competing with the financial might of clubs like Arsenal will be a challenge.

Nathan Ake has rejected a move to West Ham United, choosing to stay and fight for his place under Pep Guardiola. This is good news for City, who value Ake's versatility and experience. The Dutchman can play both centre-back and left-back, making him a valuable squad asset.

However, City youngster Oscar Bobb is attracting interest, with Borussia Dortmund leading the race for his signature. The Norwegian talent has shown glimpses of his potential, and Dortmund's track record of developing young players could make them an attractive destination.

James McAtee is also generating interest from both Chelsea and Leeds, as City continue to face decisions about which of their talented youngsters can force their way into Guardiola's plans.

Bournemouth are showing serious ambition this transfer window. Beyond their interest in Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri, they're also eyeing Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson. It seems the Cherries are serious about strengthening their squad this month, targeting young, dynamic talent that fits Andoni Iraola's playing style.

However, they may need to fight to keep Antoine Semenyo, with Manchester United plotting a January move. The complication is that Semenyo apparently prefers Liverpool if given the choice, which adds another layer of intrigue to this situation.

Defender Marcos Senesi is also attracting attention, with two La Liga clubs battling for the Argentine. Senesi has been impressive on the south coast and could be set for a return to Spanish football.

Liverpool are set to sign Ordonez, adding to Arne Slot's defensive options as they continue to compete on multiple fronts this season. The Reds are maintaining their strong position at the top of the table and clearly want to keep reinforcing.

Fulham are targeting Ricardo Pepi, the American forward who carries a £40 million price tag. Marco Silva is clearly looking to add firepower to his attack, with Fulham pushing for European qualification. Pepi's goalscoring record makes him an attractive option.

West Ham United are active in the market, missing out on Nathan Ake but still in the race for Jorgen Strand Larsen. The Hammers are looking to strengthen their squad as they push up the table under their manager.

Roma are experiencing a deadlock in their pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee. The negotiations appear to have stalled, leaving the striker's immediate future uncertain. Zirkzee has struggled to make an impact since his big-money move, and a return to Italy could reignite his career.

Borussia Dortmund are leading the race for Manchester City's Oscar Bobb, continuing the German club's excellent track record of developing young talent. A move to Dortmund could be exactly what Bobb needs to fulfill his potential.

That's your comprehensive transfer roundup for today! The January window is heating up nicely, with some potentially seismic moves on the horizon. Stay tuned as these stories develop over the coming days.
