Villa and Liverpool weigh Harvey Elliott recall as stalled loan triggers January dilemma

Harvey Elliott
December 2025

Harvey Elliott’s season-long loan at Aston Villa has stalled badly, with the midfielder limited to a single Premier League start and excluded from the last seven league matchday squads, putting pressure on Liverpool to consider recalling him before a purchase clause activates. A £35m mandatory buy clause kicks in at 10 appearances, but Emery’s selections and Villa’s strong form have squeezed Elliott out, prompting frank talks between coach, player and both clubs as they search for a solution that guarantees him regular minutes, at Villa Park or elsewhere.

VAR reprieve and Haaland penalty fire Man City to statement win at the Bernabeu

Erling Haaland
December 2025

Manchester City overturned a 1-0 deficit to beat Real Madrid 2-1 away, with Nico O’Reilly’s close-range finish and an Erling Haaland penalty cancelling out Rodrygo’s opener and pushing City up to fourth in the Champions League league-phase standings. Madrid briefly thought they had an early penalty before VAR ruled Matheus Nunes’ foul outside the box, and after Rodrygo’s breakaway strike, City exploited Madrid’s defensive lapses, with Haaland punishing Antonio Rüdiger’s foul while the hosts were later denied by misses from Jude Bellingham and Endrick.

Saudi Pro League chief confirms Salah is a concrete target amid Anfield unrest

Mohamed Salah
December 2025

Mohamed Salah has publicly aired frustration at being benched for three straight league games, accusing Liverpool of “throwing him under the bus” and fuelling speculation over a winter exit, just months after signing a new two-year deal at Anfield. After Salah’s explosive post-Leeds rant and ongoing omission from Arne Slot’s starting XI, Saudi Pro League CEO Omar Mugharbel openly welcomed him as a target, stressing that clubs handle negotiations while hinting strongly that the Egyptian could be lured to the Middle East soon.

Fullkrug exit stalls as Wolfsburg wait on new sporting director sign off

Niclas Fullkrug
December 2025

West Ham are ready to sell out of favour striker Niclas Fullkrug and have a broad agreement with Wolfsburg, but the move is on hold while the Bundesliga club complete their sporting department reshuffle and formally install Pirmin Schwegler as sporting director. Fullkrug has struggled with injuries and system fit since joining from Borussia Dortmund and is now surplus to requirements, with West Ham keen to recover funds and free wages. Wolfsburg see him as a key reinforcement, yet no major signings can be approved until Schwegler officially takes charge, leaving the deal in limbo and inviting rival interest.

Salah v Carragher row deepens as Liverpool civil war splits fanbase

Mohamed Salah
December 2025

Mohamed Salah’s claim that Liverpool have “thrown him under the bus” after three straight games on the bench has triggered a fierce backlash, with Jamie Carragher branding him a disgrace before later apologising, and supporters now deeply divided over whether the forward or the club is in the wrong. Salah argued that broken promises, a lost relationship with Slot and his track record justify a guaranteed starting role, but critics point to his poor season, his history of public contract pressure and Liverpool’s unbeaten run since he was dropped. Fans and pundits stress that no player is bigger than the club, while others defend his past contributions.

United revive long running Ramos pursuit with free transfer proposal

Sergio Ramos
December 2025

Manchester United have reportedly made an offer to sign Sergio Ramos on a free transfer following his exit from Monterrey, with the 39 year old eyeing one last European chapter after seven goals in 32 games and a strong defensive stint in Mexico. Ramos has confirmed he is leaving Monterrey and is prioritising a European return, reviving a link with United that dates back to serious talks in 2015 and a failed proposal in 2023. United are early favourites, though negotiations are at an initial stage and no agreement on terms has been reached.

Under pressure Alonso rolls dice on half fit Mbappe for Man City clash

Xabi Alonso
December 2025

Xabi Alonso has named Kylian Mbappe in Real Madrid’s squad to face Manchester City despite recent leg concerns, gambling on his talisman’s availability as he fights for his job after a poor run that includes only two wins in seven matches across all competitions. Mbappe skipped open training and was reported to have left leg discomfort, yet his 25 goals and heavy share of Madrid’s scoring have made him almost undroppable. With injuries, suspensions and growing pressure after the Celta defeat, Alonso framed the City match as a shared last chance to spark a season that is drifting.

Roma move for Zirkzee as Ferguson loan heads for early end

Joshua Zirkzee
December 2025

Roma have opened talks with Manchester United over a January move for Joshua Zirkzee, with the club ready to cut short Evan Ferguson’s disappointing loan after just one goal in 14 games and reshape their forward line for the second half of the season. Sporting director Frederic Massara has approval from the Friedkin Group and plans a UK visit to push a loan deal with option to buy, while United prefer either a permanent sale or an obligation. Zirkzee is keen to return to Serie A, where his link play and movement suit Gasperini’s forward-focused system.

De Ketelaere silences Garnacho as Atalanta stun Chelsea in Champions League comeback

Charles De Ketelaere
December 2025

Chelsea let a 1-0 lead slip in Bergamo as Atalanta struck twice after half-time, with Gianluca Scamacca and Charles De Ketelaere overturning Joao Pedro’s opener and handing Enzo Maresca a damaging Champions League defeat on his return to Italy. De Ketelaere answered Alejandro Garnacho’s pre-match comments in ruthless fashion, heading in the winner after Scamacca’s leveller as Atalanta exploited Chelsea’s lethargic second-half press, grew into the spaces out wide and turned a hostile Bergamo crowd into a decisive advantage.

Tyrese Haliburton
December 2025

Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, rehabbing an Achilles tear from Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, will join “NBA on Prime” as a player contributor, sharing behind the scenes content on his recovery and offering analysis across the season, starting with Tuesday’s NBA Nightcap broadcast.
