🔥 Trent to City? Robertson Exit Confirmed & Chelsea's Shock Fernandez Decision

Welcome back to Tuesday's Transfer News! Thank you for subscribing and being part of our community. Yesterday brought some absolutely seismic transfer developments that could reshape the Premier League landscape - from Manchester City's audacious pursuit of Liverpool's defensive cornerstone to Chelsea's stunning admission of defeat on their nine-figure investment. Let's break down all the key stories you need to know.

Liverpool are facing a potential defensive crisis as multiple key players find themselves at the center of transfer speculation. The most concerning development? Manchester City are actively monitoring Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract situation, positioning themselves to potentially swoop if the right-back's future remains unresolved.

The thought of Trent Alexander-Arnold in a Manchester City shirt would be absolutely devastating for Liverpool supporters. With his contract situation still uncertain, Pep Guardiola's side are keeping close tabs on developments, ready to pounce if an opportunity presents itself.

✅ The good news: Reports suggest there will be no exit to Real Madrid this month. The Spanish giants remain interested, but the England international appears set to stay at Anfield at least until the summer - which will come as massive relief to Arne Slot as Liverpool chase major honours.

In what represents a potential bargain of the window, Tottenham are willing to pay £5 million for Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson. Thomas Frank is clearly looking to strengthen at full-back, and Robertson's experience and quality would be a significant addition to Spurs' squad.

Inter Milan are reportedly interested in taking Curtis Jones on loan for the remainder of the season. The Italian giants are looking to bolster their midfield options and see the England international as a strong addition. The big question: would Arne Slot be willing to let him leave mid-season when Jones has been such a solid squad player?

Mohamed Salah remains a prime target for clubs in the Saudi Pro League. The Egyptian superstar continues to be linked with a lucrative move to the Middle East, and with his contract situation still unresolved, this story isn't going away. Salah's incredible goalscoring record speaks for itself, and the Saudis are clearly willing to pay top dollar.

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate's contract situation hasn't been settled yet. The French centre-back has been in impressive form when fit, and Liverpool will be keen to tie him down to a new deal to ward off interest from elsewhere. His partnership with Virgil van Dijk has been crucial to Liverpool's defensive solidity.

In one of the most shocking admissions of the window, Chelsea are open to selling Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine midfielder, who cost over £100 million, hasn't quite hit the heights expected at Stamford Bridge, and Liam Rosenior may be willing to cash in if the right offer arrives.

Despite this setback, Chelsea continue their strategy of signing promising young players, with the Blues now targeting young French talent Mathis Jacquet. Jacquet fits the profile perfectly as they look to build for the future under Rosenior's guidance.

Nottingham Forest have submitted a £35 million bid for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Sean Dyche clearly sees the Frenchman as the goalscorer to fire Forest's campaign, and at that price, it represents serious intent from the East Midlands club.

Interestingly, Aston Villa are also interested in Mateta, so it seems Forest have competition for the striker's signature. Villa's financial muscle could make them serious contenders, though Oliver Glasner won't want to lose his main goalscorer without a fight.

Manchester City are preparing an offer for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Pep Guardiola sees the England international as the perfect addition to shore up City's defence, and they're readying a substantial bid to test Palace's resolve. Guehi's composure on the ball would fit City's style perfectly.

Brighton have rejected an approach for captain Lewis Dunk. The Seagulls are standing firm on their defensive leader, which makes complete sense given their ambitions this season under Fabian Hurzeler. Dunk remains absolutely crucial to how Brighton play out from the back.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is reportedly on Manchester United's radar. With Michael Carrick still in interim charge at Old Trafford, United are continuing their search for a permanent manager, and Glasner's impressive work at Palace has caught their attention. It would be a huge loss for Palace if he were to leave.

Aston Villa are targeting Ruben Loftus-Cheek as they look to strengthen their midfield options. Unai Emery is a big admirer of the midfielder's technical qualities and physical presence, and Villa are hoping to bring him in to add depth to their squad as they compete on multiple fronts.

Juventus are casting their net wide in the striker market, eyeing both Randal Kolo Muani and Joshua Zirkzee. The Turin club are desperate for attacking reinforcements and both names represent quality options, though prising either away mid-season won't be cheap. Zirkzee's technical ability is particularly impressive, and it'll be fascinating to see if Manchester United would entertain letting him leave.

Atletico Madrid want Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes. The Brazilian has been one of the standout performers in Rob Edwards' side this season, and the Spanish club are hoping to bring him to La Liga. Wolves will be desperate to keep hold of their key man though.

City are also making a move for Vitor Reis Anderson, continuing their policy of signing the best young talent available. The club's recruitment team have identified Anderson as a player with huge potential, and they're moving quickly to secure his signature.

Everton are eyeing Arsenal defender Ben White. David Moyes is looking to strengthen his backline and sees White as an ideal fit for his system at Goodison Park. Whether Mikel Arteta would be willing to let White leave to a rival is another question entirely.

Barcelona want Marcus Rashford to stay at the club beyond his loan spell. The England forward has impressed during his time in Catalonia, and the Spanish giants are keen to make the move permanent if they can find a way to finance the deal. Rashford's pace and directness have added a new dimension to Barcelona's attack.

Arsenal are monitoring Newcastle's Tino Livramento. Mikel Arteta is always on the lookout for talented young players, and the right-back has caught the eye with his performances for Eddie Howe's side. Arsenal's interest shows just how highly rated Livramento is becoming.
