The January transfer window is fast approaching, and speculation is rife across Europe and beyond. Premier League and European clubs are actively scouting talent, with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah reportedly a top target for Saudi Pro League sides. Meanwhile, Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, and other major clubs are exploring moves for a host of emerging stars and established names.

Mohamed Salah Draws Saudi Interest

Saudi Pro League clubs remain determined to sign Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, 33, who was notably dropped by the Reds in their recent match.

Additionally, Liverpool are in the running for forwards Antoine Semenyo and Rodrygo, with interest in Brazil’s Rodrygo coming from both Liverpool and Arsenal. The Reds are also reportedly ahead of Barcelona in the race to sign Ederson, the 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder from Atalanta.

Manchester United and Barcelona Targets

Manchester United are exploring a move for Olympiacos’ Greece midfielder Christos Mouzakitis, 18, with Real Madrid also considering a £25m bid for the promising youngster.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have yet to decide whether to make Marcus Rashford’s loan move permanent, with the 28-year-old England forward currently on loan from Manchester United.
