Manchester United Make New Offer to JJ Gabriel
JJ Gabriel remains the clearest live Premier League transfer story after Manchester United offered the 16-year-old a new scholarship agreement.
Gabriel asked to leave United in September after a dispute over his development and pathway to senior football. The club have now made a formal attempt to retain him, but reports indicate that he is still likely to pursue a move away from Old Trafford.
According to The Guardian, United could receive substantially lower compensation if Gabriel moves abroad rather than joining another English club. His Irish passport may make a European transfer possible, subject to FIFA rules and the relevant registration process.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked. There is no agreement with any club, so the story should not be presented as a completed transfer.
Status: 🟡 Developing. United are trying to keep Gabriel, but a departure remains a realistic possibility.
Bournemouth Not Planning to Sell Alex Scott
Alex Scott continues to attract attention after his strong start to the season and impressive England performances.
Chelsea have been linked with the midfielder, while Real Madrid scouts have also been reported to have watched him. However, Bournemouth are not expected to sanction a January sale and no formal bid has been confirmed.
Scott’s recent thigh injury is likely to pause the discussion in the short term. His long-term value remains clear, but this is a future-market story rather than an active negotiation.
Status: ⚪ Early interest. Interest is credible, but Bournemouth are not under pressure to sell and no January move is close.
What Is Happening With Richarlison?
Richarlison remains a Tottenham player after proposed moves to Vasco da Gama and Trabzonspor failed to reach completion.
The forward is outside Tottenham’s Premier League squad and remains open to leaving. Saudi Arabia has been repeatedly mentioned as a possible route, but no club has reached an agreement with Tottenham or the player.
This is no longer a strong transfer story. Until there is a credible report of an offer, talks or personal terms, it should be treated as a situation to monitor rather than an imminent move.
Status: ⚪ Monitoring. Richarlison’s future remains unresolved, but there is no confirmed breakthrough.
Chemsdine Talbi Set to Stay at Sunderland
Chemsdine Talbi is not expected to leave Sunderland after the club withdrew from discussions with Al-Ittihad.
The Saudi side showed interest after Talbi was left out of Sunderland’s Europa League squad, but Sunderland decided that losing another wide player would leave them short of options. His involvement for the club since then has reinforced that decision.
Al-Ittihad could make another enquiry before its window closes, but the original negotiation is over and there is no sign that Sunderland have changed their position.
Status: ❌ Deal ended. Talbi currently remains part of Sunderland’s plans.
Confirmed Since the Last Update
- Yves Bissouma to Ajax: Confirmed. The former Tottenham midfielder joined Ajax as a free agent after his Spurs contract expired. Ajax have announced his arrival, so he should no longer appear as a Premier League transfer rumour.
- Pedro Neto staying at Chelsea: Confirmed. Chelsea announced a new contract running until 2032, ending immediate speculation about a move to Manchester City or Saudi Arabia.
Ajax confirmed Bissouma’s signing, while Chelsea have officially announced Pedro Neto’s contract extension.
Rumours Removed From the Main List
Several names from the previous update have been removed because there has been no credible new development.
- Michael Olise to Liverpool or Real Madrid: no offer or active negotiation has been reported.
- Adam Wharton to Chelsea, Liverpool or Newcastle: interest has been widely repeated, but there is no evidence of talks.
- Morgan Gibbs-White to Tottenham: a possible future approach is not enough to make this a live transfer story.
- Andria Bartishvili to Arsenal: the reported 2027 arrangement remains unconfirmed by either club.
A transfer-rumours page is more useful when old stories are removed rather than carried forward indefinitely. These names can return if a credible source reports an offer, negotiations or an agreement.
Can Premier League Clubs Still Sign Players?
The Premier League summer window closed on 1 September.
Clubs cannot register players contracted to other teams until the January window opens. They can still sign eligible free agents, agree future transfers or sell players to leagues whose registration periods remain open.
Any late overseas departure must still be distinguished from a confirmed deal. A player linked with Saudi Arabia, Turkey or another market has not moved unless the clubs and player have reached an agreement and the registration is completed.
