Transfer rumors, news: Liverpool look at Forest’s Anderson

– Liverpool are tracking Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson and have sent scouts to watch each of his past six matches, reports The Sun. Forest signed the 22-year-old for £35m in the summer and are under no pressure to let him leave, but the Reds will be keen to make a move if he becomes available. Anderson has five assists in 18 games this season to help Forest to a surprising third spot in the Premier League table.

– Manchester City have made an offer to Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush for a transfer in the summer, reports Foot Mercato. City are first to do so, with Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool also interested in the 25-year-old, and the €60m-rated Marmoush seems excited about City’s project having already spoken with their management.

– Though Mohamed Salah publicly stated he is playing his last season at Liverpool, Foot Mercato reports that the forward’s priority is to stay at Anfield while also listing the most likely alternatives. They state that the 32-year-old’s agents remain in continuous contact with Paris Saint-Germain as they follow the situation closely, and Saudi Arabia remains an option despite no clubs taking concrete steps to sign him yet.

• Arsenal could make a January move to sign Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman following the lengthy injury sustained by Bukayo Saka, according to Football Insider. The 26-year-old has a contract that keeps him in Bavaria until 2027, but has started just six of his club’s 15 Bundesliga matches so far this term.
• Bayern Munich are remaining patient with Florian Wirtz as it seems the attacking midfielder will stay at Bayer Leverkusen one more year to prepare for the 2026 World Cup in familiar surroundings, reports Bild. The club are not interested in his teammate Jonathan Tah, with the centre-back leaning towards a move to Barcelona.

-Manchester United are looking to sign Victor Osimhen for under his release clause but Napoli will push for the €75m figure to met, reports Calciomercato, which adds that Galatasaray hope the striker will stay on loan until the end of the season. Juventus have given up on signing the 26-year-old and are focusing on the Red Devils’ Joshua Zirkzee, although Paris Saint-Germain will provide competition for Osimhen.

• Newcastle United will look to Internazionale midfielder Davide Frattesi to replace Bruno Guimarães if the 27-year-old leaves in 2025, reports TEAMtalk, with Manchester City being the favourites to sign the Brazil international. Frattesi’s transfer is valued at around €50m and there will be competition from Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma for the 25-year-old.
• Borussia Dortmund are now demanding a fee of at least €30m from Aston Villa for the signing of Donyell Malen, reports Christian Falk. The Premier League side had already offered €18m to sign the 25-year-old forward but that is not enough and there is currently no deal between the clubs. His contract runs until the summer of 2026.
