Transfer information LIVE: Man Utd might lose Mainoo, Arsenal need Brentford star and Man City’s double £85m transfer

Nottingham Forest have made an enquiry about a loan deal for former Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz.

The Brazilian midfielder has struggled to justify his £42.35m (€50m) fee since joining Juventus last summer.

And the Mail report Forest could join the race to take the player on loan, with the Old Lady already offering the player to Manchester City, Manchester United and Fulham.

Manchester City’s England Under-21 midfielder James McAtee is keen to move to the Bundesliga, reports the Telegraph.

Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Mainz, Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart are all chasing the 22-year-old.

And after losing Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers in recent seasons, another top prospect looks set to develop away from the Etihad.

Manchester City are interested in Brazilian centre-back Vitor Reis as they start to plan for the future of their defence.

The Premier League champions hope to bring the 18-year-old to the Etihad Stadium while Palmeiras want €40m for the prospect.

City are also keen to sign another young centre-back, the 20-year-old Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens.

Their squad only contains two defenders they have bought in the last four years, in Josko Gvardiol and Manuel Akanji, and manager Pep Guardiola has had a host of centre-back injuries this season.

Right-back Kyle Walker turns 35 in May while central defender John Stones is 30, with both Akanji and Nathan Ake having their 30th birthdays later this year and City have started to turn their attention towards the next generation of defenders.

Wolves have strengthened this month after confirming the signing of Ivorian centre-back Emmanuel Agbadou from Reims.

The 27-year-old arrives at Molineux in a £16.6m deal and becomes an option for new head coach Vitor Pereira.

“Emmanuel’s a winner and he’s driven,” Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs told the club’s website. “After the journey’s had, he’s still unbelievably hungry. He’s the type of player the Wolves fans should love, because you’re going to get absolutely everything he’s got.

“On paper, he should suit the Premier League. There’s plenty of ticks there. Obviously, you’ve always got the settling in period, and it is the hardest league in the world, so it can take time, but he can fall back on his key attributes being akin to the Premier League.

“The fact that he was on ours and Vitor’s lists shows that he’s well rounded, good on the ball, physically excellent, quick and a good personality. Then being made captain of Reims has really taken his game to the next level, and you can never have enough leaders.”

Arsenal have turned attention to Bryan Mbeumo over a potential summer signing.

Mikel Arteta’s side are in the hunt for January recruits, too, but the Brentford forward is also on their radar for later this year, reports Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.

The Gunners are especially keen to upgrade in the wing position, with Mbeumo under contract until 2026, an affordable deal could be struck.

Mbeumo has scored 13 goals and made three assists this season.

Man City are ready to make a double £85m move to boost a staggering season under Pep Guardiola.

With the Premier League title race largely beyond them already, with Liverpool 12 points clear having played a game less.

But the Champions League is still an option, as is the FA Cup, with the Mail detailing two potential recruits in forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt, rated at £50m, and Lens star Abdukodir Khusanov, valued at £35m.

Liverpool and Arsenal are also in the hunt for Marmoush, though City appear most willing to pay the £50m asking price.

Ipswich Town look to bolster their survival hopes with the signing of Jaden Philogene.

Everton were also keen, but Town have struck a deal with Aston Villa for £21m plus add-ons, reports Fabrizio Romano.

A medical is scheduled for Thursday morning, with Kieran McKenna thought to have played a key role.

Marcus Rashford will have the opportunity to join AC Milan on loan this month, with Ruben Amorim not a fan of the Manchester United forward.

But a stumbling block appears to be Rashford’s wages, which are worth a reported £325,000 per week.

The Times reports the Rossoneri are keen to do a deal but will only match £150,000 per week in line with their top earners, with Alvaro Morata leading the squad.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, is interested in buying Liverpool, according to his father.

A full sale has never been an option though, but Errol Musk maintains his son, owner of Tesla and social media platform X, would be open to acquiring the Anfield-based team.

Some of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s more traumatic outings in a Liverpool shirt have tended to involve Real Madrid. Normally, however, it entailed trial by Vinicius Junior, a test many a right-back has failed over the years. If there are plenty of reasons to join Real, one is that he would only have to face the Brazilian in training.

In the week Real attempted to sign Alexander-Arnold in January, his worst performance of the season felt ill-timed. Perhaps only the right-back and those closest to him know for sure if the distraction caused by Real contributed to his substandard display against Manchester United. Arne Slot, often a voice of reason, pointed out it is not the only difficult day even a player of Alexander-Arnold’s standard has experienced over the years. He afforded credit to the United double act of Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot, citing their status as Portugal internationals, even if the inconvenient truth is that neither remotely resembles a left winger.
