Transfer news LIVE: Raheem Sterling linked with Manchester United, Chelsea aim for Jadon Sancho swap

Raheem Sterling looks set to leave Chelsea. Jadon Sancho apparently doesn’t fit into Erik ten Hag’s plans at Manchester United. So could a swap deal between the clubs just days before the transfer deadline be beneficial for both?

According to the Telegraph’s Jason Burt, Chelsea are keen to explore this option Sancho has been linked with Juventus after being left out of United’s squad for Saturday’s match against Brighton for the second weekend in a row, despite the 24-year-old travelling with the club.

Sancho would fit Chelsea’s profile but his wages could be a problem. However, Sterling is one of the top earners at Stamford Bridge and Enzo Maresca has made it clear that the winger does not fit into his plans. Could Sterling find a home at Old Trafford?

This would be one of the stories of the window if it came true.

The Daily Telegraph Reports that Chelsea are interested in a swap deal with Manchester United for Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling.

Several media outlets have reported that Chelsea are considering a transfer of the disgraced United winger and are also reportedly hoping that United could be interested in their own disgraced winger Raheem Sterling.

The Telegraph adds that Juventus are the other club interested in Sancho and “at the moment, the Serie A club seems a more likely destination.”

United reportedly want around £40 million for the England international, “but a loan with an obligation to buy seems the most likely offer at this stage.”

His salary demands further complicate any deal because “it is unlikely that any club would be willing to pay Sancho’s salary in full, which is something United will insist on.”

Despite these comments from Alisson and some opinions that it would be better to strengthen in other areas, Liverpool seem to be set to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili before the end of the transfer window.

The Daily Mirror Liverpool are reportedly clarifying “minor details before finalising a deal with the Georgian”, which would be worth around 35 million euros.

It is likely that Mamardashvili will be loaned back to Valencia immediately.

David Ornstein reports that City are considering signing Orri Oskarsson from FC Copenhagen as a replacement for Erling Haaland.

The Cityzens sold Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid at the start of the transfer window and their only major signing was the return of Ilkay Gündogan.

Ornstein reports that it currently seems unlikely that City will sign the 19-year-old striker, but they are huge admirers of him.

Oskarsson is on a target list that also includes Celtic’s Kyogo Furuhashi.

It was frustrating for both managers that Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe was still unable to win at his old stomping ground.

The Magpies fell behind to Marcus Tavernier’s goal in the first half, but were able to equalise through Anthony Gordon and pushed hard for the late winner.

Two games say nothing about a team’s title chances, but the early psychological signs point in Arsenal’s favour as they ended their curse against Aston Villa with a result the Gunners could not have even hoped for a few years ago.

Under a manager determined to beat the only club he had not excelled at, Villa had the chance to make it three wins in a row against the Gunners and inflict further damage on a title contender, where a single defeat can mean the difference between a first league title in 20 years and further frustration.

And yet, having survived a massive Villainous storm, goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey left the away section at Villa Park limb-twitching on Saturday, signalling an ultimate statement of intent and ending a recent, damaging run of bad luck.

Yesterday, The athletics David Ornstein reported that Nottingham Forest’s proposed transfer of Eddie Nketiah fell through “because no agreement could be reached with the Arsenal striker.”

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker wants to extend his career at Anfield after turning down the opportunity to move to Saudi Arabia.

The 2023 Serie A champions have offered a transfer fee of around €30 million (£25 million) for McTominay, which United have accepted – but for the transfer to be completed, the 27-year-old would have to agree to personal terms and decide to leave Old Trafford.
