Wednesday Transfer Gossip: Man United Target Hall and Truffert, Real Madrid Eye Calafiori as Liverpool and Arsenal Chase Espart

Man United are targeting Hall and Truffert, Madrid are still keen on Calafiori, and Liverpool and Arsenal both like Espart, according to the latest transfer gossip from MatchHeadlines.

Manchester United are planning a big shake-up at the back next summer, says i news. They will return for 22-year-old England left-back Lewis Hall of Newcastle, who wants to move to Old Trafford. Adrien Truffert, a 24-year-old France defender of Bournemouth, is also a target.

Real Madrid still want 24-year-old Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori, says CaughtOffside. Arsenal have made it clear they would need an extraordinary offer, and the club would reportedly want more than 100m euros.

Liverpool and Arsenal are both interested in 19-year-old Spain defender Xavi Espart, says Teamtalk. Barcelona would turn down offers, and he has a release clause of more than £84m. A new contract through 2030 has also secured his future at Camp Nou, so a January exit is ruled out. Chelsea, Tottenham, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich have also been watching him.

Arsenal want 22-year-old Germany striker Nicolo Tresoldi of Club Brugge in January, says The Sun. He is reportedly valued at £42m and caught the eye with a Champions League hat-trick against Inter Milan. Arsenal are also close to a new long-term deal with Declan Rice, says Fabrizio Romano.

Newcastle want 28-year-old England defender Fikayo Tomori when he becomes a free agent in the summer, says Football Insider. He plays for AC Milan.

Emiliano Buendia is set to sign a new deal at Aston Villa, says the Athletic. Talks with 32-year-old Sweden defender Victor Lindelof and 19-year-old English player George Hemmings are also moving along.

United are still watching 28-year-old Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr of Crystal Palace, says Teamtalk. Galatasaray are still keen too. TEAMtalk also says United are looking at Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, whose deal ends in 2027.

Pedro Porro, 27, would "seriously consider" a move to Barcelona or Madrid, says Football Insider. The Tottenham right-back signed an extension to 2031, but the lure of trophies and Champions League football appeals.

Lisandro Martinez, 28, is set to leave United at the end of the season, says the Mail. He criticised the club's bosses last week and later apologised.

Manchester City lead the race for Borussia Dortmund teenager Mathis Albert, but Dortmund are working hard to keep him, says TEAMtalk.
