Serie A outfit Monza have already submitted a bit for Karsdorp for a loan move with an obligation to buy at the end of the season if they manage to stay afloat.

The Premier League outfit can up their offer to €40m including all bonuses. Manager Unai Emery has already spoken to the player to convince him. There is mutual admiration between the two and are eager to reunite after their stint with Arsenal back in the 2018-19 season.

Manchester City could cut short Liam Delap's loan spell at Stoke City in January, as reported by The Telegraph’s John Percy.

However, they would need an agreement with Stoke to terminate the loan mid-season. The striker has scored just thrice in 22 appearances and hence the think tank at Etihad thinks it will be better for the 19-year-old to try another club. A number of Championship clubs are keen to get him for the second half of the season.

Real Madrid will prioritise left-backs Alphonso Davies and Alejandro Grimaldo in the transfer market as they get serious about finding a replacement for Ferland Mendy, claims Fichajes.

In any case, they will likely wait until the summer to spend big on the position.
