In today&#8217;s edition, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> eye a return for a former star striker, while <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/tottenham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> target a star from last year&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/champions-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Champions League<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/la-liga\/real-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a>, meanwhile, look set to compete with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/serie-a\/juventus\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juventus<\/a> for another rising star. And will Inter Milan be able to tempt a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/serie-a\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Serie A<\/a> star to the San Siro?<\/p>\n<h2>Transfer Rumours: Manchester United, Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan<\/h2>\n<h3>Manchester United Eye Return for Zlatan<\/h3>\n<p>According to Daniel Davis of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-7670077\/Manchester-United-contact-Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-stunning-Old-Trafford-return.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mail Online<\/a>, Manchester United are in contact with <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4cde5509\/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zlatan Ibrahimovic<\/a> over a return to Old Trafford. The Swedish striker left United for the MLS in 2018, but his contract is up in the new year. Now, two years later, he could return to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Premier League<\/a>. The Red Devils will certainly be desperate for more reinforcements up front, as they look to push into European contention.<\/p>\n<h3>Real Madrid and Juventus Set to Compete Again For Haaland<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/2ceb58ab\/Jairo-Izquierdo?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jairo Izquierdo<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/eldesmarque.com\/madrid\/real-madrid\/noticias\/175808-la-juventus-vuelve-a-golpear-al-real-madrid-cristiano-ronaldo-ya-tiene-acompanante\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">El Desmarque<\/a> reports that Real Madrid are prepared to battle with Juventus again in the transfer window; this time, their target is Norwegian striker Erling Haaland. Apart from his six goals in the Champions League this season, Haaland has also scored 16 goals in 13 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga for Red Bull Salzburg. His form this year has seen him become one of football&#8217;s most sought-after talents. After joining the Austrian team for \u20ac5 million last January, he could now be worth as much as \u20ac100 million.<\/p>\n<h3>Tottenham Set Sights on Ziyech<\/h3>\n<p>If Tom Gott of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.90min.com\/posts\/6494749-exclusive-spurs-consider-move-for-hakim-ziyech-as-christian-eriksen-replacement\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">90min<\/a> is correct, Tottenham are ready to sign <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/6622454d\/Hakim-Ziyech?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hakim Ziyech<\/a> as a replacement for <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/980522ec\/Christian-Eriksen?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian Eriksen<\/a>, who many expect to leave next summer. Spurs are willing to accept reasonable offers in January to avoid losing the Danish midfielder for nothing. One name high on their list to replace him is Hakim Ziyech, one of the stars for Ajax&#8217;s amazing season last year; he scored 21 goals and registered 24 assists for the Dutch side, as they came within seconds of a Champions League final. His scintillating form has continued into this season, scoring six goals and contributing 14 assists already. There is no doubt that he could help propell the North London outfit.<\/p>\n<h3>Inter Milan Target Mertens<\/h3>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calciomercato.com\/en\/news\/from-mertens-to-kurzawa-inter-targetting-numerous-players-on-fre-35653\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calcio Mercato&#8217;s sources<\/a>, Inter Milan are targeting a few Serie A stars on free transfers. Their main target is <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/89b2c8a9\/Dries-Mertens?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dries Mertens<\/a>, currently of Napoli, but whose recent contract talks have stalled. Apart from the enigmatic Belgian, Inter are also eyeing <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e162b013\/Thomas-Meunier?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thomas Meunier<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/41e7ef1c\/Layvin-Kurzawa?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Layvin Kurzawa<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/ligue-1\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>. All three targets have contracts expiring next summer, and Inter Milan could be a very busy club come summer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"3107RwdWTjxH_0vIKS_gPw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1184275167\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'3107RwdWTjxH_0vIKS_gPw',sig:'E-LpJuysLel65KZy-hCfr7weW6cvWd87SFLCcPWgLrE=',w:'594px',h:'421px',items:'1184275167',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Word on Football&#8217;s Football Transfer News brings you the latest transfer rumours from world football.
