FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 10 November, including the latest updates on Malo Gusto, Ian Maatsen and Nicolo Tresoldi.
Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto is ready to leave the club in January, TEAMtalk claims.
The France international was prepared to jump ship in the summer transfer window following the arrival of Marco Palestra, but no deal materialised despite interest from Man City and Liverpool. Chelsea's asking price of more than €80 million was considered prohibitive.
It is now asserted that Gusto remains open to an exit, while Chelsea could also consider selling him as they are well covered in that position despite the injury to Reece James. Atletico Madrid, Tottenham and others could join Man City and Liverpool in the race to sign him.
Man Utd target Ian Maatsen has verbally agreed a new contract with Aston Villa, Football Insider writes.
The Dutchman has emerged on the radar of Man Utd in recent months, with the club desperately searching for left-back reinforcements. However, Villa have been very clear that they do not wish to sell Maatsen.
Now, the Birmingham club have managed to find common ground with the defender on a new long-term contract that will effectively rule out a transfer for the foreseeable future. Maatsen was unmoved by Man Utd's interest and is happy to stay at Villa.
AC Milan are ready to make an ambitious January move for Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi, according to Calciomercato.
The 22-year-old is on the radar of many of Europe's biggest clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, but there has been an expectation that Brugge won't sell the €50m-rated attacker mid-season.
However, AC Milan are banking on the fact that he is a die-hard fan of the club and would say yes to a January transfer in a heartbeat. Owner Gerry Cardinale is ready to invest heavily in the winter and has made Tresoldi one of his top targets.
Arsenal are planning to have new contracts for Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard finalised by January, as per TEAMtalk.
The Gunners have made "significant progress" on these three deals after being in talks with the trio for "much of 2026." In fact, discussions with Timber were already reported to be advanced last year.
Despite the time it has taken to get to this point, there is now growing confidence at the Emirates that all three will formally put pen to paper on fresh terms this winter. Captain Odegaard has been the subject of recent transfer speculation, but he is evidently going nowhere.
Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo is in no rush to make a decision on his future, Sport understands.
The Uruguay international has impressed on loan at Liverpool this season, which has given rise to reports that the Reds want to keep him permanently. The Anfield club have a €55m purchase option but are likely to try and renegotiate this hefty price.
As for Araujo, he is enjoying his time in England and the fact that he is a regular starter, but he will not make a decision on whether or not to stay at Liverpool until the end of the season.
