Croatian star <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/06\/29\/manchester-united-ivan-rakitic\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivan Rakitic<\/a> could be one of those to depart. Also, with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/feeds\/tottenhamfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> mulling over bring Jack Clarke back from his loan at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/08\/21\/pontus-jansson-leeds-exit-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leeds United<\/a>, Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Transfer Rumours: <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e2716bd0\/David-Silva?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Silva<\/a>, James Maddison, Ivan Rakatic and Jack Clarke<\/h2>\n<h3>Beckham Eyes Silva for Miami<\/h3>\n<p>Tony Evans of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfers\/david-silva-man-city-transfer-news-david-beckham-inter-miami-cf-mls-major-league-soccer-latest-a9112256.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Independent<\/a> reports that <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/feeds\/manchestercityfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester City<\/a> legend David Silva is set to become Inter Miami\u2019s marquee signing next summer.

He wants Spaniard as part of the team and to maximise interest for their inaugural season.<\/p>\n<p>Silva signed a one-year extension to his contract this summer. However, it could be his last. It is unlikely that he would sign for another Premier League club. America could therefore appeal. Beckham wants stars in his team and Silva is definitely a star.<\/p>\n<p>The report also suggests that Beckham and others involved with Inter Miami have been in Barcelona recently. The visit has sparked speculation that they could make an approach for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/09\/09\/report-lionel-messi-to-see-contract-renewed-at-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lionel Messi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a6154613\/Luis-Suarez?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luis Suarez<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Foxes May Not be Able to Turn Down an Offer for James Maddison<\/h3>\n<p>Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he and the club would find it difficult to turn down a huge offer from <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/feeds\/manchesterunitedfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> for James Maddison. Jamie Gordon of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sport\/football\/9960096\/man-utd-transfer-news-james-maddison-leicester-brendan-rodgers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sun<\/a> reports that although Maddison failed to shine recently at Old Trafford, it may not stop United from making a bid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/08\/02\/harry-maguire-leicester-city-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Maguire<\/a> moved from Leicester to United in the summer for \u00a385 million. Maddison could be next. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants the best of British at Old Trafford and Maddison could be on his wish list. The 22-year-old has been in impressive form and was recently got a call up to the England senior squad.<\/p>\n<h3>Barcelona to Have Clear Out<\/h3>\n<p>Spanish giants Barcelona are set to have a January sale. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/barcelona\/2019\/09\/19\/5d83da54268e3ef4188b45b1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marca.com<\/a> claim that several players are set to leave the Camp Nou.

Carles Alena and Moussa Wague could also be on the move. The talent, which could be made available is sure to have some of Europe\u2019s best chasing their signatures.<\/p>\n<h3>Tottenham Transfer Rumours: EPL Clubs Want Clarke<\/h3>\n<p>Tottenham\u2019s \u00a310 million summer signing, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/05\/23\/jack-clarke-subject-to-premier-league-interest\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jack Clarke<\/a> could be recalled from his loan at Leeds United.
