Chelsea is set to launch a major assault on the transfer market with a €100m-plus bid for Porto’s rising star Samuel Omorodion, according to reports. The 21-year-old Spanish striker has caught the attention of Graham Potter, who sees him as a long-term solution up front. The Blues are preparing to table a substantial offer next summer, eclipsing earlier estimates.

Meanwhile, speculation surrounding Manchester United’s ownership continues to grow. A UAE-based consortium is reportedly assembling a takeover bid, with club legends Eric Cantona, Wayne Rooney, and David Beckham rumored to be involved as potential frontmen. However, no official confirmation has emerged.

Across the Atlantic, Lionel Messi is expected to commit his future to Inter Miami with a contract extension. The 38-year-old continues to defy age expectations, and a new deal would see him remain in the MLS beyond his initial agreement.

Elsewhere in the Premier League, Arsenal and Tottenham are both tracking Saint-Étienne’s 17-year-old prodigy Djylian N'Guessan, while Mason Greenwood’s impressive form at Marseille has drawn interest from Barcelona. Marcus Silva remains a top target for Nottingham Forest, though the Fulham boss is hesitant to leave mid-season.

Bournemouth is bracing for future bids for Antoine Semenyo, while Newcastle and Aston Villa lead the race for Ecuadorian defender Joel Ordonez. Meanwhile, Casemiro may need to accept a pay cut to extend his stay at Manchester United, and Bruno Fernandes is considering his future if the club’s form does not improve.

Finally, Sheffield United has slapped a ‘not for sale’ tag on midfielder Gustavo Hamer, and Chelsea is in talks to appoint Dave Fallows, the former Liverpool recruitment guru who played a key role in signing Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané.
