Football gossip: Rashford, Osimhen, Isak, Adeyemi, Ederson, Kimmich, Leao

According to reports, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is inclined to make his loan move to Aston Villa this January a permanent transfer. The 27-year-old England international seems ready to commit to Villa long-term, but Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also closely monitoring his situation and could make a move.

Meanwhile, Liverpool's interest in Newcastle United's Swedish forward Alexander Isak is growing, and Arsenal also remains keen on signing the 25-year-old player. To raise funds for a summer rebuild, Arsenal may need to sell 30-year-old Belgian forward Leandro Trossard or 23-year-old Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli, both of whom are targets for Saudi Pro League clubs.

Napoli's 26-year-old Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, is eager to move to Manchester United. However, Manchester United needs to beat out several major clubs to secure his signature. It is reported that Manchester United is even prepared to sell 22-year-old Danish forward Rasmus Højlund to finance the acquisition of Osimhen.

Chelsea remains keenly interested in signing Borussia Dortmund and Germany winger Karim Adeyemi, who is valued at around €45 million (£37.1 million). Manchester City, on the other hand, intends to sign a goalkeeper this summer to replace 31-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, and the club is in talks with Porto regarding the acquisition of 25-year-old Portuguese international Diogo Costa.

Bayern Munich has withdrawn its new contract offer to German midfielder Joshua Kimmich, as the club is disappointed by the 30-year-old's hesitation to renew. Barcelona has expressed interest in AC Milan's 25-year-old Portuguese winger Rafael Leão. Newcastle United is looking to sign Burnley's 22-year-old English goalkeeper James Trafford. The Premier League may be forced to establish two separate transfer windows this summer due to the disruption caused by the Club World Cup.
