TREND RUMORS
– Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl plans to speak personally by phone with Marc Guéhi in January, according to Sky Germany. An initial meeting has already taken place between Eberl and the Crystal Palace captain's agent, as Bayern look to sign him on a free transfer next summer. However, the Bundesliga champions face continued competition from the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool for his signature. Guéhi, 25, is out of contract with Palace next summer but could move in January if an interested club is willing to pay a small fee.
– Liverpool could cover any possible departure of Mohamed Salah in the January transfer window Harvey Elliott returning to the club, TEAMtalk reports. Salah's future at Anfield looks very uncertain after telling reporters last Saturday that he felt the club had “thrown him under the bus” for leaving him out of the team amid their poor form. The Egypt international has been a long-term target for clubs in the Saudi Pro League, where the transfer window opens on January 1.
Meanwhile, Liverpool attacking midfielder Elliott's loan move to Aston Villa hasn't worked out so far. The 22-year-old has made just three Premier League appearances since moving to Villa Park, and manager Unai Emery said this week that they are in talks with the player. TEAMtalk report that Villa are willing to send Elliott back to Anfield and do not intend for him to make the 10 league appearances this season that would trigger a clause to sign him permanently for £35m. Elliott's return could be timely for Liverpool if Salah leaves, as it would see a left-footed attacker who can operate on the right replace another in coach Arne Slot's squad.
– Meanwhile, San Diego FC are not expected to make any move for Salah in January, according to The Athletic. Even though the MLS club is owned by British-Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Mansour, and MLS commissioner Don Garber said the league would “welcome [Salah] with open arms”, a move that is currently considered unrealistic and not a primary goal for the club. Instead, a winter transfer to a Saudi Pro League team, such as Al Hilal, seems a much more likely outcome for Salah at this stage.
– Tottenham Hotspur are willing to leave him Yves Bissouma He will leave the club in January, The Times reports. The 29-year-old midfielder has not played a single minute under Spurs manager Thomas Frank this season, having undergone surgery on an ankle injury in October. He is attracting interest from French clubs Nice and Marseille, while Fenerbahçe are also monitoring the situation, having previously been interested in the player. If a new club is not found next month, Spurs will offer him a new contract to avoid losing the Mali international on a free transfer.
– AFC Bournemouth have signed the Basel winger Philip Otele as a potential Antonio Semenyo replacement, according to TEAMtalk. With the Ghana international's release clause set to kick in from next month, the Cherries are already drawing up contingency plans should he decide to leave. Otele, 26, is one of several wingers the club are now considering, having scored 17 goals in 47 appearances for Basel during his time there. However, Crystal Palace are also said to be monitoring the Nigerian's development.
