Liverpool targets Semenyo as Isak faces the risk of a long-term holiday

According to British media, Liverpool are considering activating Antoine Semenyo's £65 million release clause in January, in the context of Alexander Isak suffering a serious injury and being suspected of breaking his leg. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the Swedish striker could be out for a few months.

That situation has forced Liverpool to increase their interest in Semenyo, who is also on the radar of the two Manchester teams. The Ghana international has a release clause that will still be valid in January, but is expected to expire on January 10, opening the possibility of leaving in the winter transfer window.

In the current season, Semenyo has scored 8 goals in 16 matches, becoming one of Bournemouth's outstanding attacking factors.

Chelsea takes the lead in the race for Karetsas' signature

Konstantinos Karetsas - Genk's young talent - is on Chelsea's radar after an impressive start to the season. The 18-year-old is likely to leave Belgium next year, as Arsenal and Liverpool are also closely following his development.

However, Chelsea are currently the team that shows the most obvious interest, having directly contacted Karetsas' representative. The Greek international still has a contract with Genk until June 2029, but his future is attracting great attention in the European transfer market.

Roma speed up negotiations to recruit Joshua Zirkzee

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between AS Roma and Joshua Zirkzee of Man United are taking place positively, related to the possibility of a transfer in January.

Zirkzee is considered Roma's top target after not having many starting opportunities under coach Ruben Amorim. However, this deal still has many obstacles. Injuries and absences from players due to the AFCON could keep the Dutch international for Man United until next summer.

In the current season, Zirkzee has only scored one goal after 10 Premier League appearances, a number that has not met expectations since he arrived at Old Trafford.

AC Milan is about to have a new striker

According to German media, AC Milan is getting very close to a deal to recruit Niclas Fullkrug from West Ham United. The 32-year-old striker plans to join Milan on a 6-month loan deal, with a future buy-in clause.

The German international is ready for a medical check-up, while negotiations between the two clubs have now entered the final stages, opening up the possibility of the deal being finalized soon.

West Ham strengthens attack

West Ham are considering the possibility of recruiting Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen to strengthen their attack. The Norwegian striker had received many offers from Newcastle at the beginning of the year, but was rejected by Wolves.

Strand Larsen is currently under contract at Molineux until the summer of 2030. However, with Wolves almost certain to be relegated, West Ham expect the situation at the negotiation table to become more favorable in the coming time.
