Despite the transfer window shutting two months ago, the footballing world is still rife with rumours. As the January transfer window approaches, we look at the latest batch from the rumour mill.<\/p>\n<h2>Transfer Rumours: Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus<\/h2>\n<h3>Manchester United Prepared to Meet Sancho Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1c8af6eb\/Alex-Smith?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Smith<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/man-utd-ready-meet-borussia-20735785\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Mirror<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> are ready to meet Borussia Dortmund&#8217;s demands for <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/dbf053da\/Jadon-Sancho?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jadon Sancho<\/a>. The German side will put a \u00a3100 million price-tag on their golden boy, who joined in 2017. Since then, Sancho has made 68 appearances, scoring 18 goals and creating 30 assists, making the step up to the England national side. At just 19, he has the world at his feet; with many suitors likely to queue up, United could face stiff competition for his signature.<\/p>\n<h3>Real Madrid Hope to Take Advantage of Mbapp\u00e9 Situation<\/h3>\n<p>Andr\u00e9s Onrubia of <a href=\"https:\/\/as.com\/futbol\/2019\/10\/26\/primera\/1572118313_982659.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AS<\/a> writes that <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/la-liga\/real-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a> have a keen eye on the situation of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/42fd9c7f\/Kylian-Mbappe?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/ligue-1\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>. The relationship between Mbapp\u00e9 and manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly very strained, with the German still considering <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/69384e5d\/Neymar?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Neymar<\/a> his talisman. Should Mbapp\u00e9 want to fulfill his dream of winning a European Golden Ball, many think he may have to leave France. As such, Real Madrid could yet pounce on the attacker and make him a marquee signing in summer 2020.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/89f951b5\/Ivan-Rakitic?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivan Rakitic<\/a> Could Be on Move in January<\/h3>\n<p>As Carmen Torres writes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/barcelona\/2019\/10\/27\/5db493a346163fe5b58b462d.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marca<\/a>, Ivan Rakitic could be on his way out of the Nou Camp in the new year. With appearances for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/la-liga\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a> few and far between in their opening 12 fixtures, the Croatian is considering his options. After playing just 206 minutes, it seems he is now behind <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1bacc518\/Frenkie-de-Jong?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frenkie de Jong<\/a>, Arthur and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/5ab0ea87\/Sergio-Busquets?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sergio Busquets<\/a> in the pecking order. Since Rakitic&#8217;s contract expires in 2021, he could soon leave for a cut-price deal; <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/serie-a\/juventus\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juventus<\/a> and Manchester United are reportedly keen, and he is keeping his options open.<\/p>\n<h3>Newcastle Monitoring James<\/h3>\n<p>If reports from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sport\/football\/10221256\/steve-bruce-bid-chelsea-reece-james-newcastle-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sun&#8217;s<\/a> Alan Nixon are true, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newcastle United<\/a> are planning a loan move to bring <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=1265a93a,5bc2f6ca&amp;search=Reece+James&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reece James<\/a> to St. James Park. James, 19, has featured for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a> this season, but the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/53cad200\/Cesar-Azpilicueta?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cesar Azpilicueta<\/a> will be a stern obstacle for him.
