Transfer Rumours: United Ready 100m Euro Estevao Bid as Barcelona Chase Martinez

Manchester United are preparing a 100 million euro offer for unsettled Chelsea winger Estevao, according to the latest roundup of transfer gossip, with Barcelona also tracking the Brazilian.

Barcelona's search for a new centre-back has put Inter's Alessandro Bastoni, Real Betis' Natan and United's Lisandro Martinez on their radar, with Martinez's contract expiring next summer and neither club nor player keen on an extension. Atletico Madrid are also monitoring him.

Chelsea have made Barcelona right-back Jules Kounde their priority January target, while Liverpool are exploring a loan move for Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose priority is said to be a return to Anfield.

Barca's wider shopping list

Barcelona sporting director Deco has held several meetings over Athletico Paranaense's 19-year-old centre-back Arthur Dias, valued at around 20 million euros, and Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso is also on their list at a similar price, with a swap involving Alejandro Balde floated as an option.

Elsewhere in the rumour mill

Arsenal remain in contact with Endrick's representatives over the Real Madrid striker's future, while Besiktas are ready to offer 10 million euros for Newcastle midfielder Joe Willock and Real Madrid are again linked with Manchester City midfielder Enzo Fernandez ahead of 2027.
