Exclusive: Milan to keep wonderkid

FootballTransfers can reveal that AC Milan have no intention of selling Man City-linked 15-year-old wonderkid Francesco Camarda.

But who is this youngster who has scored 483 goals in 87 youth games? We have the low-down here.

Ten Hag talks

Man Utd are set for contract talks with Erik ten Hag despite the poor start to the season, according to a report.

The Red Devils are also planning to tie Hannibal Mejbri down to a new deal.

Mejbri has impressed in recent games and he even broke a Man Utd record at the weekend.

Liverpool rejected

While on the topic of Man Utd, we must mention that Red Devils star Sofyan Amrabat was 'just hours away' from joining Liverpool this summer, but his stalling convinced the Reds to go for Ryan Gravenberch instead.

Not only is the Dutchman six years younger than Amrabat, but he is already proving his worth and enthralling Reds fans.

Osimhen mess

Victor Osimhen could take legal action against Napoli after the club mocked their star striker on TikTok.

This is just the latest mess at Napoli, who have completely imploded in the space of a mere three months.

Osimhen could even leave the club because of this and Chelsea want him - but should he sign for the Blues?

Anthony Gordon's revival

Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon is finally living up to the hype and he's slowly but surely becoming one of England's best attackers.

Who is Max Beier?

20-year-old Bundesliga sensation Max Beier could be handed a shock call-up to the German national team by Julian Nagelsmann. Here's all you need to know about the Hoffenheim youngster.

Alvarez overshadows Haaland

Julian Alvarez is quickly becoming Man City's unsung hero. Here's why.

James charged by FA

Chelsea captain Reece James has been charged by the FA for allegedly hurling abusive language at a match official - despite not even playing - and could be banned.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Signing Kylian Mbappe won't be enough, Real Madrid will also target a traditional marquee centre-forward.

In other Los Blancos news, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo are apparently not good enough for the club.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed how Arsenal bosses are feeling about Kai Havertz's slow start at the Emirates.

Additionally, a former Gunners physio has shed light on how the Gunners managed to pull off one of the best pieces of transfer business ever.

Man Utd will likely be in the market for a winger in January. Here are five options they should be looking at.

An unlikely club could save the careers of not one, not two but three England stars.

Barcelona have 'verbally agreed' a deal to sign a player they already own, kind of.

Lastly, Leipzig wonderkid Benjamin Sesko has revealed why he rejected Man Utd.
