Palace signed Wharton for £22m in 2024, and he played a key role in their FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs. Wharton, left out of England’s latest squad, said Thomas Tuchel assured him he remains “close” to selection.

    Real Madrid retain the right to re-sign Argentine midfielder Nico Paz from Como for just €9 million in 2026 or €10 million in 2027 under the buyback clause agreed during his 2024 transfer. The 21-year-old has flourished under coach Cesc Fàbregas, recording six goals and nine assists last season and adding three goals and three assists this term.
    Como president Mirwan Suwarso confirmed Madrid’s option, stating: “Real Madrid are allowed to buy him back whenever they want. It’s up to Nico to decide his future.” Tottenham had tabled a €70m offer in the summer, but Paz opted to stay. Seen as a long-term successor to Lionel Messi in Argentina’s midfield, he remains central to Xabi Alonso’s rebuild plans.

    Harry Maguire plans to turn down a £500,000-per-week offer from Saudi Arabia to remain at Manchester United, provided the club guarantees his future and extends his contract. His current deal expires next summer, allowing him to negotiate abroad from January.
    Maguire’s resurgence has restored his reputation after losing the captaincy under Erik ten Hag. The 32-year-old prioritizes top-flight competition to preserve his England prospects. United are expected to offer a short-term renewal recognizing his leadership while keeping roster flexibility. If talks collapse, Maguire may revisit foreign options, but his preference is to finish his career at Old Trafford.

    Bayern Munich are set to hold final contract talks with Dayot Upamecano as negotiations stall over salary demands. The defender, whose deal runs until 2026, wants a raise to match Alphonso Davies’ earnings amid interest from Manchester United, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.
    Sporting director Max Eberl leads efforts to close the deal before the winter break, but Bayern are hesitant to break wage structure limits. Upamecano’s form under Vincent Kompany has been excellent, ranking among team leaders in tackles and passing. Failure to agree terms may force Bayern to consider a summer sale to avoid losing him for free.

    Davies described his recovery as “mentally tougher than physical,” emphasizing patience and positivity through repetition and setbacks. Supported by teammates Jamal Musiala and Hiroki Ito, he has regained mobility and strength under Bayern’s structured recovery program. The club expects him to rejoin full training before year-end, with a gradual reintegration planned to avoid re-injury.

    Barca’s management, initially wary of his inconsistent final years at Old Trafford, are now convinced after his key Champions League performance at Newcastle. Sporting director Deco and manager Flick both back the permanent deal, which would include £5 million in add-ons. Rashford’s resurgence has also revived his England prospects ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

    Real Madrid’s 2026 official calendar notably excludes Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold, symbolising a dip in their status amid form and injury struggles. Bellingham, recovering from shoulder surgery, has lost his automatic starting role under Xabi Alonso, while Alexander-Arnold’s debut season has been hampered by a serious hamstring injury.
    Bellingham has started only one of Madrid’s past three matches since returning and was also omitted from Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad due to fitness concerns. Alexander-Arnold, signed from Liverpool in the summer, tore his biceps femoris muscle during his Champions League debut and remains sidelined. Madrid insist both remain key to long-term plans but face immediate competition from rising talents such as Arda Güler and Franco Mastantuono.
