Premier League Transfer News: Kylian Mbappe Nears Liverpool Move, Frenkie De Jong Rejects Man United & More From January Winter Window

As we welcome 2024, it brings an exciting month of January for soccer fanatics. The winter transfer window has officially begun, which means there will be some fresh developments in the coming days. As domestic sides worldwide gear up to bolster their ranks for the second leg of the season, these are the latest transfer news surrounding the English Premier League. From Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool and Frenkie de Jong breaking the hearts of Manchester United fans again, let’s see which other stars are bound to make new beginnings in the new year. 

Liverpool joins the race for Kylian Mbappe 

First and foremost, the agenda that is gaining the most attention in the market is Kylian Mbappe. As per reports from French newspaper Le Parisien, Liverpool has joined the race to sign the PSG superstar alongside Real Madrid. The Frenchman is now officially ‘free’ to discuss his future pre-contract move due to the Parisians’ failure to convince him to sign a contract extension yet.

After a lot of twists and turns, it’s unlikely the 24-year-old will stay put at Parc des Princes. Notably, Jurgen Klopp and Co. would need to break the bank for the World Cup winner as Los Blancos remain in pole position to sign him. However, with the entry of the Reds, there is a chance the Frenchman might change his dream of playing at the Santiago Bernabeu to Anfield.

Frenkie de Jong still says no to Manchester United 

We saw this one coming. The mighty old Manchester United is still not giving up on their long-term target. With Casemiro’s future up in the air, Erik ten Hag is still dreaming of bringing his former disciple to Old Trafford. Additionally, De Jong’s former Ajax teammate, Donny Van de Beek, has been signed by Eintracht Frankfurt for the remainder of the season.

But De Jong still isn’t making himself available for the Red Devils, as per his recent interview with Dutch outlet NOS. “I am at the club where I always wanted to be, where I dreamed of [Barcelona],” says the 26-year-old. Yet, he subtly hinted at not staying forever at Camp Nou. When asked if he thinks about playing in another league, he said, ‘possibly‘.

According to Sebastien Denis, Chelsea and Tottenham are fighting tooth and nail to secure a deal with Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo. Despite previous links to Old Trafford, it remains uncertain whether the French side is open to selling him to any club in the January.

Speaking of the Blues, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund are set to compete for the acquisition of Chelsea full-back Ian Maatsen. The 21-year-old was on the verge of leaving in the summer, and recent reports suggest that both clubs are planning to rekindle their interest this month.

As per Fussball Transfers, Manchester United is reportedly gearing up for a battle with Newcastle to acquire Serhou Guirassy, despite the player expressing a preference for joining Tottenham. The Stuttgart star could potentially make a move this month due to a reported cut-price release clause of $19.2 million in his contract.
