Adeyemi has a contract that runs until 2027 but could leave before then, and the Germany<\/a> international is open to making a move to the Premier League<\/a> as he feels he is well suited to the game in England.<\/p>\n – AC Milan want to sign Robert Lewandowski<\/strong> as a free agent when Barcelona striker’s contract expires in the summer, Tuttosport<\/a> reports. The Rossoneri believe that the Poland<\/a> international, 37, can further strengthen a winning mentality that coach Massimiliano Allegri and veteran midfielder Luka Modric<\/a><\/strong> have helped to develop. The latter has been so influential that Milan have already decided that they want to take up the option of a one-year renewal of the 40-year-old’s contract.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n – Arsenal, Manchester City<\/a>, Manchester United and Newcastle United<\/a> are among the clubs actively monitoring the situation of Eintracht Frankfurt<\/a> left-back Nathaniel Brown<\/a><\/strong>, according to TEAMtalk<\/a>.

The exact figure is undisclosed but is estimated to be as much as \u20ac55 million.<\/p>\n – Roma are eyeing Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee<\/a><\/strong> to strengthen their attack in January, according to Sky Sports Italia<\/a> reports.

However, Roma believe the 24-year-old’s Serie A<\/a> experience can help them in their title bid — they are level on points with leaders Inter Milan<\/a> after 11 games this season — while The i Paper<\/a> reports that Everton<\/a> and West Ham United<\/a> are also keen.<\/p>\n – Sunderland<\/a>‘s Granit Xhaka<\/a><\/strong> is a prominent name on Juventus<\/a>‘ list of targets as the Serie A club looks to strengthen their midfield in January, according to Tuttosport<\/a>. They had already looked to sign the 33-year-old in the summer but the move fell through. The Bianconeri believe that the Switzerland<\/a> international’s leadership, technical ability, physicality and tactical intelligence could help them. Even so, it is uncertain whether they can agree a deal with the Black Cats with \u20ac15m potentially being required.<\/p>\n EXPERT TAKE 1:45<\/p>\n Cash: Lewandowski still at the level of Kane & Haaland<\/p>\n Matty Cash praises Robert Lewandowski ahead of Poland’s World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n OTHER RUMORS<\/p>\n – Napoli continue to look at Kobbie Mainoo<\/strong> with Manchester United only willing to let the midfielder leave on loan.
