The January 2025 transfer window is now open across Europe as many clubs and players look to find the best possible solutions before the deadline. PSG are currently working on a major signing, while Manchester United and Marcus Rashford are expected to part ways in the coming weeks. Let’s take a look at the hottest rumors and latest updates:
Kvaratskhelia at PSG?
PSG wants to recruit Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as the French giants are reportedly ready to offer around 80 million euros to sign the Napoli player, while Kvaratskhelia’s agents are already talking with PSG on personal terms. Napoli signed Kvaratskhelia in the summer of 2022, making him one of the best players in Europe, but after negotiations over a new deal broke down in recent weeks, the same player is now set to leave the coached squad by Antonio Conte this winter. PSG attempted to sign Kvaratskhelia last summer, with the Georgian winger and Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen both on the French team’s radar. Despite the interest, neither joined PSG as Osimhen ended up at Galatasaray while Kvaratskhelia remained at Napoli.
Marcus Rashford’s future
The Manchester United striker is set to leave his boyhood club as both sides look for options this winter after new Red Devils coach Ruben Amorim left the England forward off the list in recent weeks. Several clubs are currently in talks with the player’s agents to explore this option, with AC Milan and Juventus having made initial contact with the player’s brother and agent. The Rossoneri, in particular, appear interested in Rashford, especially after selling striker Noah Oka this winter, as RB Leipzig is currently in contact to sign it definitively. In any case, Rashford’s name is one to watch until the last day of the transfer window.
Skriniar back in Serie A?
As PSG work to sign Kvaratskhelia, former Inter defender Milan Skriniar is expected to leave the French club this winter. Clubs including Juventus and Napoli have held initial discussions with the player’s agents, while Premier League side Aston Villa are also said to be interested in signing the Slovakian defender, but his most likely destination is Galatasaray. It will only be a matter of time before the final decision is made, but it is more than likely that Skriniar will leave Paris this winter after a disappointing start to the season where he made just five Ligue 1 appearances.
