Matches have already resumed in the top championships. But many clubs are looking for reinforcements for different positions. Mostly in the winter, there are point acquisitions. Therefore, we should not expect a lot of high-profile transitions. But for the fans, this time is always interesting and they watch the transitions of players. Representatives of xGscore.io collected the top rumors about the transitions of famous players. Let’s try to sort out together which of them are real.
Donnarumma will return to Italy
In Italy everyone was excited by the news about the possible transfer of the goalkeeper to Inter. Donnarumma is undoubtedly a top goalkeeper and will strengthen any team. In PSG he is number 1 and it is not so easy to buy him. At the same time, Inter itself has Yan Sommer. So why are there predictions of soccer on different sites about his transfer.
The fact is that Sommer is already 34 years old and he is actively offered to clubs outside Europe. Most likely the Swiss keeper will want to earn more before retirement. Apart from that Donnarumma is:
- a reliable goalkeeper;
- loves Italy;
- has not prolonged his contract with PSG yet (the agreement is valid until 2026).
Paris would like to keep the Italian in their lineup, but whether they will be able to keep him is not clear yet. Most likely it is not a transfer for the winter window. But in the summer it may well be announced. And then Donnarumma will have to face another wave of hatred because earlier he played for Milan. Let’s see if such a transfer will happen this year.
Fight for Ilya Zabarniy
There are plenty of contenders for the Ukrainian center back. The press regularly talks about interest from:
- Liverpool;
- Arsenal;
- Tottenham;
- Newcastle.
Sometimes there have even been rumors of a move to Real Madrid. But recently there has been more and more information about the interest of PSG. The French needed a reliable centerback and Zabarniy could solve this problem. But a much bigger problem will be Ilya’s desire. And Bournemouth are not ready to let go of the defender, with whom they recently extended their contract until 2029. Many analysts offering football prediction tips today believe that this transfer will not happen in winter. Paris has its disadvantages, which may not interest the Ukrainians. Moreover, France has not yet played at the top level of any Ukrainian footballer. But the interest from Tottenham or Liverpool should be considered under closer scrutiny.
Kolo Muani will move to Foggy Albion
In many publications, you can find information about the interest in the French striker from Manchester United. The transfer is considered a lease with a mandatory right to buy. In this case, all 3 parties will benefit from such a transition.
Randal will be able to get some practice, change where he is, and open up in a new way. In Paris, he is not often in the starting lineup (less than 500 minutes for the entire first round on the field). PSG will be able to offload the wage bill and get money from such a transfer. For Manchester United, this is a good player who can help get more options in attack. Therefore, this transfer can be expected, although Kolo Muani will not be easy to play in Foggy Albion.
Conclusion
Of course, these are not all the transfer rumors for the current winter. There is talk of a possible move for Nico Williams to Arsenal from Atletico. Barcelona is looking for a forward who could be a decent substitute (and in the future even replace) Robert Lewandowski. Napoli’s Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also told the management that he would like to change teams. But the 3 transfers we have mentioned are more realistic because there are specific candidates. We continue to follow all the rumors and wait for the transitions of top players to new FCs.
