Transfer information LIVE: Man Utd’s Rashford provided shock transfer, Arsenal need Brentford star, Man City agree deal

Chelsea midfielder Cesare Casadei could join Napoli, reports Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio.

The Serie A club are readying an offer for the Italian player, who joined the Blues from Inter Milan in 2022 for an initial £12.6m (€15m) and has featured for Reading and Leicester on loan.

Torino and Lazio are also keen, with the Blues eager to make their money back on the 21-year-old and possibly include a buy-back clause or percentage of a future sale.

Manchester City have moved a step closer to boosting their squad in January after reaching a deal on terms for Vitor Reis with his agent.

The 18-year-old centre-back could add extra depth at the back for Pep Guardiola’s side, after recent injuries to their defence.

Agreeing a fee with Palmeiras is the next step, according to Fabrizio Romano, with that figure likely to be around £33.6m (€40m).

Jobe Bellingham will stay at Sunderland despite Premier League interest this month.

The 19-year-old has shone for the Black Cats since arriving from Birmingham 18 months ago in a £1.5m deal.

But despite links to Man Utd, Arsenal and Crystal Palace, according to the Sun, Regis Le Bris’ side will likely keep the player for the remainder of the season in their push for promotion to the Premier League.

Brazilian club Palmeiras have upped their offer for Fulham’s Andreas Pereira, tabling a £20.5m bid.

The player is prepared to stay in London, reports the Mail, with the 29-year-old out of contract in 2026.

The Cottagers initially turned down a £16m bid, with the player out of favour after being linked with a move to Marseille before clarifying the interview misinterpreted his quotes.

Como have entered the race to sign Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United after interest from AC Milan and Juventus.

Sky Sport Italia reports that Como would be more willing to cover the player’s wages, thought to be £325,000 per week, while Cesc Fabregas could also hold some influence.

With Dele Alli, a friend of Rashford’s, training at the club, too, Como are bullish they can strike a deal.

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.
