Chelsea discuss Jean-Clair Todibo transfer

According to British media, Chelsea has decided to join the race to sign talented centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo, MU's top target in recent times.

British press quoted journalist Fabrizio Romano as saying that Chelsea started approaching Nice and Todibo to discuss the transfer.

Chelsea will part ways with veteran centre-back Thiago Silva at the end of the season. The Brazilian is out of contract and wants to return to his homeland (most likely to his former club Fluminense).

Replacing Thiago Silva is a key part of Chelsea's football project, which has yet to fully take shape under chairman Todd Boehly.

Todibo is very important to Nice, with a contract until 2027. After playing from France to Germany, to Spain and Portugal, the 23-year-old centre-back intends to try his hand at English football.

Many players injured, Newcastle need more "reinforcements"

Newcastle are trying to bring attacker Ferran Torres back to English football in the upcoming winter transfer window.

Newcastle's squad is heavily injured, with Sandro Tonali suspended, so Eddie Howe wants to bring in reinforcements in January 2024.

Ferran Torres used to play in the Premier League so the Spanish player has the ability to integrate easily when joining Newcastle.

Ferran Torres has been uncomfortable at Barcelona lately. Mateu Alemany, his biggest backer, has left to make way for Deco as sporting director.

Ferran Torres' relationship with coach Xavi is also not good, so he is considering leaving. In addition to Newcastle, Napoli and Atletico are also approaching the former Man City player.

MU intends to bring Thiago Almada to Old Trafford to strengthen their attack.

MU and Thiago Almada transfer plan

MU officials are planning to complete the transfer of Thiago Almada in January 2024, to enter the final stage of the season.

MU just had a great match when they beat Chelsea 2-1, with the tactical imprint and the ability to adjust personnel of coach Erik ten Hag.

Currently, MU is only 3 points behind the 4th position of neighbor Man City. This increases the dream of coach Ten Hag and his team about a breakthrough in the coming period.

Therefore, MU's board of directors intends to bring Thiago Almada to Old Trafford to strengthen the attacking solution, in the context that midfielders are having to do the striker's job.

Thiago Almada is contracted to Atlanta until 2025, the club where he has scored 11 goals and 13 assists in 31 MLS games. The 22-year-old Argentine wants to move to Europe to take the next step in his career, with his sights set on the Premier League.

MU: Winter transfer plan

Coach Erik ten Hag spoke about MU's transfer plans in the winter transfer market (January 2024) amid information that some contracts need to be added.

MU are said to be interested in a number of players before the transfer market reopens in January 2024.

Sources say the Red Devils are considering adding a striker to support Rasmus Hojlund, who has yet to score in the Premier League since joining from Atalanta in the summer.

Erik ten Hag's side are also said to be eyeing a centre-back, with Benfica's Antonio Silva in their sights.

In addition, MU is also targeting a midfielder to strengthen the midfield.

However, when asked about plans to recruit new players in the middle of the season, coach Erik ten Hag said: "I don't think so. MU's view is that if you can improve the squad, you should do it.

What we expect from the players when they come to Carrington every day is that they give their all.”

Besides, there is also the objective reality in the transfer market. Most of the time you cannot get the best and most satisfactory players in the winter transfer window.

Top stars don't leave in the mid-season transfer window, instead those available are often disappointed at their current club, injured or not fit enough...".

When asked if he felt the current United squad was lacking enough to win the Premier League, coach Erik ten Hag replied: "We have to develop this team. In fact, MU will enter the summer transfer window and there will be new players coming in."

MU is currently ranked 6th in the Premier League after a 2-1 win over Chelsea, only 3 points behind 4th-placed Man City - a Champions League position.

“As a club you have to look for improvements. And if you can find something better, within the context of financial fair play restrictions, then all the better,” he added.
