According to the Mirror, Manchester United are prepared to trade forward Antony to Flamengo in exchange for forward Gabriel Barbosa. The trade would take place in Brazil.

“Manchester United want Brazilian striker Gabriel Barbosa in January and are willing to offer Antony in part exchange on loan,” claims the report. “Manchester United are also willing to offer Antony in part exchange on loan.””Barbosa, who is 27 years old and has scored 18 goals for Flamengo in all competitions this season, is available at a discounted price of £20 million due to the fact that his current contract will expire at the end of 2024. 

His club, Flamengo, is interested in making a part-exchange with United for the attacker, who has scored five goals in 18 appearances for his country. Anthony, who is also from Brazil and is a compatriot of Barbosa, would play for United on loan.Antony, who is 23 years old and was purchased from Ajax for £82 million in 2022, has not yet scored a goal this season and has only appeared 11 times due to a tough season caused by charges of domestic violence. 

Even though he is under contract until 2027, it is quite improbable that he will leave the company permanently.A more obstacle has been overcome by 777 Partners as they go closer to completing a takeover of Everton with their proposed acquisition.According to The Telegraph, “Everton’s potential new owners have been given the green light from the Football Association to assume executive leadership roles at the Merseyside club once their takeover is complete.”

The Football Association (FA) has decided that Josh Wander and Steven Pasko are eligible to join the board of directors of Everton Football Club once they have purchased the Merseyside club. This decision marks the completion of the first in a series of requirements that must be met before the co-founders of 777 Partners may purchase Everton.”However, the Miami-based company must still pass the Premier League owners’ test – that is an ongoing scenario – and the process of buying out majority stakeholder Farhad Moshiri has still to be confirmed,” the article states. “‘According to sources, four of the most well-known football players in the world will be joining Major League Soccer as their present contracts near their expiration dates.

“Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann, Luka Modric, and Luis Suarez have been linked with MLS moves within the next year,” adds the Mail. “These rumors have been circulating for quite some time.””Suarez, in particular, is close to joining his friend Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, as soon as this winter, after the expiration of his contract with Brazilian side Gremio, which was shortened because of ongoing knee issues.” “Suarez is close to joining his friend Lionel Messi at Inter Miami, as soon as this winter.”It was earlier reported by MailSport that a deal has been made between the Uruguayan striker, who is 36 years old, and The Herons, who would be using him this week.

“Giroud, on the other hand, has been linked with a move to the United States ever since the beginning of the 2022-23 Serie A season. This is because he is in the final year of a two-year contract with AC Milan, for whom he scored a brace in a match against Napoli (2-2) just a month ago.

The next player is Luka Modric. It is reported that the Croatian is dissatisfied with the amount of playing time he has received at Real Madrid thus far this season.Last but not least, Antoine Griezmann has been toying with the notion of finishing his career in the United States for some time now.As defensive injuries continue to mount for AC Milan, the club is looking to address the situation by pursuing the acquisition of Jakub Kiwior in the month of January.According to a report in The Sun, “Jakub Kiwior could be set to make his Arsenal exit less than a year after joining the club,”The Gunners are credited with making a move of £21 million to get the central defender in January of last year.Since he joined the team, he has participated in only 14 games, ten of which have been played in the Premier League.Some of these even came at left back early in the season when he was filling in for injured stars.

And it is precisely this lack of playing time that has brought him to the attention of Italian powerhouses AC Milan.The Rossoneri are now facing an injury crisis at center back, with Marco Pellegrino and Pierre Kalulu being the most recent players to be ruled out for the rest of the season.This has prompted the manager, Stefano Pioli, to contemplate adding a new player in January.
