Garnacho's future at Man Utd uncertain
Barcelona and Juventus are monitoring Alejandro Garnacho’s situation at Manchester United.
That is according to The Sun, which claims the European giants are considering a bid for the winger next summer.
“Two of Europe’s biggest clubs are monitoring Alejandro Garnacho as his frustrating start to the season continues,” states the outlet.
“The Argentine winger has had to spend a lot of time on the bench so far.
“His surprising lack of action even led to claims of a row with boss Erik Ten Hag who was reportedly angry about a social media post Garnacho shared about not playing.
“Now, SunSport can reveal the situation has put Barcelona and Juventus on red alert.
“The Spanish and Italian giants are tracking the situation and could be willing to try to tempt United with a massive bid in thesummer.
“United are believed to value the player - who is a huge favourite with fans - at £50m.”
Liverpool lining up Salah successor
Liverpool are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, should the Egyptian leave the club.
A report in the Mail suggests The Reds see Adeymei – who scored a first-half hat-trick against Celtic in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday – as the successor to Salah, whose contract will expire next summer.
“Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing a Champions League finalist to potentially replace Mo Salah," reads the report.
“Salah's contract is due to expire next summer, and he hinted last month that this is likely to be his final season at Anfield.
“The Reds could be set to lose their talisman in the coming months, and will need to find a suitable successor if Salah does opt to move on.
“According to Bild, Liverpool are now targeting Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi following his flying start to the season.
“The report states that Liverpool would be willing to pay €50m (£42m) to land Adeyemi.”
