Transfer News: All Confirmed Deals, Rumours & Breaking Updates Today

Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope has confirmed that the club have triggered a one-year extension on his contract, keeping him at St James’ Park until 2027.

The 33-year-old’s option was activated earlier in October, rewarding his outstanding performances and contributions to Newcastle’s qualification for the Champions League.

Ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Benfica, Pope expressed his delight at remaining with the Magpies, saying, “My contract is up in 2027. I look forward to spending as long as I can here.”

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Brazilian star Endrick on loan during the upcoming winter transfer window.

According to The Sunday People, the Brazil international is becoming increasingly keen to leave Real Madrid.

Endrick has allegedly informed his representatives that he plans to move in January unless there is a dramatic change in his situation at the club.

Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for RB Leipzig’s 18-year-old prodigy Yan Diomande.

The teenage forward, valued at around €100 million, is also attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain, highlighting his growing reputation in European football.

Barcelona director Deco has ruled out any player signings in the upcoming January transfer window, stating that it is not part of the club’s plans.

The announcement confirms that Barça will focus on its current squad rather than bringing in new players mid-season.

"We will not sign players in January. It is not part of our plans."

Barcelona midfielder Fermin López has revealed that he received a proposal from Chelsea in August.

Despite the offer, López emphasized that his primary desire has always been to remain at Barcelona.

Speaking about the situation, he said, "Chelsea proposal in August? My desire was always to stay at Barça."

German coach Danny Röhl has arrived in Glasgow to complete his appointment as the new Rangers manager.

Röhl, who impressed during his spell in charge of Sheffield Wednesday, is set to sign his contract with the Scottish giants after successful talks with the club’s hierarchy.

Sean Dyche is set to be appointed as the new Nottingham Forest manager after reaching a verbal agreement with the club.

The former Everton boss is expected to sign a contract running until June 2027, marking his return to Premier League management.

Forest have moved swiftly to secure Dyche’s services as they look to stabilize their top-flight campaign and build on recent struggles.

Roy Keane has suggested that Kobbie Mainoo might have to consider leaving Manchester United if he continues to be overlooked by new manager Ruben Amorim.

Mainoo was left on the bench for United’s Super Sunday clash against Liverpool, even though Casemiro started despite having just returned from Brazil duty after two games and a long trip from South Korea.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Keane said, “It obviously seems to be a problem for Mainoo getting into this team. The word coming out is they don’t think he can cover the ground that quickly, but if you look at Man United’s other midfielders, they’re not great at that either.”

The former United captain urged Mainoo to stay patient and keep working hard, saying, “As a young player, he has to suck that up and work hard. And when he gets a chance, he has to take it.”

Keane added that Mainoo must prove himself to the new boss: “A young player with good potential cannot be guaranteed a place in United’s team. But it will come down to the player himself. Your job every day, every week, is to make sure the manager puts you in the team.”

He also warned that Amorim’s preference could determine Mainoo’s future. “If the manager deep down doesn’t fancy him? I don’t know. We’ll find that out in the next few weeks. Because if he doesn’t fancy him, he might have to move him on.”

Despite acknowledging Mainoo’s talent and early success, Keane said the midfielder still has more to prove: “He got some plaudits when he first came in, he was involved in the England squad. He has to get back to that. He’s had opportunities recently, and when he’s come on, he just looks a bit short for me. I wouldn’t be scratching my head thinking: why is he not in the team? I can see why he’s not being picked at the moment.”

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he turned down an offer to manage Manchester United in 2013, saying the club’s vision was “not for me” after hearing things in talks that he “didn’t like.”

Speaking on The Diary of a CEO podcast, the former Liverpool boss said, “Yes, I spoke to them [Manchester United]. In the year when Sir Alex Ferguson retired they spoke to me. Of course they were interested.”

Klopp admitted he was flattered by United’s approach, saying, “At that time I would have been interested. I was young, I had a sensational team at Dortmund, my God. They probably thought ‘what is he doing there?’” But he ultimately declined, explaining that “It was the wrong time, wrong moment. I had a contract at Dortmund and wouldn’t have left, not really for nobody at that time.”

The German coach hinted that United’s transfer-focused philosophy put him off, recalling, “The people in that conversation told me [things] which I didn’t like. United was that big – ‘we get all the players we want. We get him, we get him, we get him, we get him,’ and I was sitting there … It was not my project.”

He added that he wasn’t interested in rebuilding the team by bringing back former players. “I didn’t want to bring back, I don’t know, Pogba. Paul is a sensational player, my God, but these things don’t work usually. Or Cristiano, my God, we all know together with Messi he is the best player in the world but bringing back never helps.”

Graham Potter is set for a swift return to management as he takes over as the new head coach of Sweden’s men’s national team.

The former West Ham boss has been appointed with the primary objective of steering the Scandinavian side to qualification for next summer’s World Cup.

His appointment follows the departure of Jon Dahl Tomasson, who was dismissed last week after collecting just one point from Sweden’s opening four World Cup qualifying matches.

The poor start left Sweden in a difficult position in their group, prompting the federation to act quickly in search of a turnaround.

Potter officially assumes his new role today under a short-term agreement that covers the remainder of the qualifying campaign.

The contract includes matches against Switzerland and Slovenia in November and could extend to a potential playoff in March.

Should Sweden qualify for the World Cup, the deal will automatically be renewed to keep Potter in charge through the tournament.

"Together with the players, I want to realise the fans' dream of a championship summer," says Potter. "I am very humbled by the assignment, but also incredibly inspired. Sweden has fantastic players who deliver in the world's best leagues during the weeks. My job will be to create the conditions so that we as a team deliver at the highest level to take Sweden to the World Cup next summer.”
