Juventus are interested in Manchester United's Noussair Mazraoui with Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport claiming that the Serie A side are stepping up their search for a right-back.

Mazraoui, who is currently away with hosts Morocco at Afcon, is believed to be keen to leave Manchester in search of a new challenge ahead of the World Cup.

A bit more on Villa, with Roma said to have approached the Midlands club about signing their forward Donyell Malen.

The Serie A side are looking to make changes up front and would like to sign the Dutch international initially on loan with an option to buy, report Sky Italy.

The report comes as Villa are said to be interest in Roma striker Tammy Abraham, although a deal would be complicated by the fact he’s currently on loan at Besiktas, and impressing there.

Aston Villa are in the market for a striker and are showing an interest in Newcastle frontman Will Osula.

Talksport are reporting that Newcastle could be tempted to cash in on the 22-year-old Osula, who is also on the radar of clubs in Germany and has scored three goals in 14 appearances this season.

Villa were reported to have interest in Real Madrid youngster Gonzalo Garcia, and had supposedly submitted a £26m bid, but that is now seen as unlikely to happen, given Garcia’s emergence as a first-team option at the Bernabeu, scoring a hat-trick in a 5-1 rout of Real Betis last weekend.

It emerged over the weekend that Barcelona would like to keep Marcus Rashford beyond his current loan deal, reports Fabrizio Romano.

You would think any new Manchester United manager would be keen to reintegrate the England forward at Old Trafford, but time will tell...

Barca have an option to buy at the end of the loan deal but it is not yet confirmed that will be activated.

Aston Villa are keen on a return for striker Tammy Abraham, according to The Telegraph.

The 28-year-old is on loan at Besiktas from Roma this season, but is reportedly on Villa’s radar this month to provide support and competition for Ollie Watkins.

Abraham spent the 2018/19 season on loan at Villa Park as he helped the club earn promotion from the Championship to the Premier League but signing him again may be complicated.

Besiktas can sign Abraham, who has scored 12 goals in all competitions for them this term, permanently for £11.2m if certain conditions are met, while he is on a salary worth around £115,000 per week, which could also be an obstacle for Villa.

Chelsea and Liverpool are said to be chasing Como defender Jacobo Ramon, with the 21-year-old Spaniard having marked himself out as one of Europe’s rising stars this season.

CaughtOffside are reporting that Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham have been monitoring him closely since December, while the likes of Newcastle, Brighton and Crystal Palace have also sent scouts to watch him.

Ramon has been one of Como’s most consistent performers this season, after leaving Real Madrid over the summer, as the club ride high in Serie A and is valued at around €18m.

But a deal is made complicated by his long-term contract until 2030 and the fact that Real Madrid inserted an €8m buy-back option and a 50 per cent sell-on clause when they allowed him to leave.

It emerged over the weekend that Mathys Tel could be on his way out of Tottenham this month and it has now emerged that Ligue 1 side Paris FC are interested in securing his signature.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting the interest, although he says Spurs want Tel to stay but have received a number of approaches this month already.

Tel is keen to play regular football as he eyes a World Cup call-up, although he is yet to make his senior France debut

Tottenham are continuing their interest in ex-Chelsea star Conor Gallagher despite Aston Villa definitively entering the race and emerging as new favourites.

Over the weekend, Talksport reported that Villa are exploring a move for the 25-year-old midfielder, who is reportedly happy at Atletico Madrid but would be open to returning to the Premier League.

This has alerted Spurs but, according to Teamtalk, they are very much still in the hunt, with Man United another party rumoured to be interested.

Gallagher hasn't been called up for England since June and his chances of playing at the World Cup are slim but Villa and Spurs are likely to offer a loan deal with an obligation to buy.

Some more Arsenal transfer news, although this time a potential exit. Everton are said to be interested in Ben White.

According to Football Insider, the Toffees have earmarked the 28-year-old to solve their problematic right-back issue but the Gunners are unlikely to be willing to sell a senior player at this point in the race, even though White has fallen down the pecking order and made just four Premier League starts this term.

His contract runs until the summer of 2028 and includes the option of a further 12 months, with any potential Everton move likely to be a loan

Manchester United are poised to choose their interim manager for the rest of the season with Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the favourites.

Darren Fletcher, who has been in charge for two games, and Ruud van Nistelrooy are also in contention to oversee the remainder of the campaign, though the Scot’s candidature may have been damaged by their FA Cup exit to Brighton.

United conducted face-to-face interviews with Carrick, their former captain, on Thursday and Solskjaer, the scorer of the winner in the 1999 Champions League final, on Saturday.

Carrick is believed to have interviewed well and went unbeaten in a three-game stint in caretaker charge of United in 2021, before having three seasons as Middlesbrough manager.
