The latest transfer rumors from around the footballing world, including Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and much more.

Arsenal shortlist 3 Leno replacements

The Gunners have shortlisted three goalkeepers as Bernd Leno eyes an exit in the January transfer window.

Leno, who has lost his spot as Arsenal’s No.1 to Aaron Ramsdale, is unhappy with his demoted status. Therefore, he could attempt an exit in 2022 rather than continue as a backup.

Ajax keeper Andre Onana, Barcelona no.2 Neto, and Brentford star David Raya are all under consideration. [Daily Mail]

While the Real Madrid president waits for Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland next summer, he wants to sign another striker on loan once the January transfer window opens.

Cavani, who may struggle to win favor at United following Cristiano Ronaldo’s return, is his most probable option. [El Nacional – in Catalan]
