Two targets for the Mauves?
According to La Derniere Heure, Anderlecht has again found two potential targets for this winter. First of all, Nobel Mendywhich would be the subject of a first offer. The Bétis central defender could be loaned with a compulsory purchase option for 4 million euros. Seven Van der Heydenin arrears in Mallorca, could also be the subject of a 6-month loan.
Credibility index: 47%. Convincing Mendy will be complicated. The player is motivated, he who finally plays with the B team at Betis, but he has only been there for 6 months. The Spanish club has no reason to rush, but a loan with an obligation to buy seems to be the best option. Betis, however, still have to weigh the pros and cons, as they do not have a huge reserve in this position. A departure this summer would be much more credible at this stage. A loan from Van der Heyden, on the other hand, seems much easier to complete.

Araujo will see Juventus
According to Mundo Deportivo, Juventus is indeed interested in Ronald Araujo. Recovered from a serious injury, the Barça defender is no longer really in his coach’s plans and the Italian club, looking for defenders, would view his arrival very favorably.
Credibility index: 60%. Ronald Araujo needs rhythm. He has only one appearance with Barça this season and the club currently prefers other options. Barça needs liquidity and selling such a player, who could bring in around fifty million euros in the event of sale, would be welcome. Also note that a loan with a purchase option, which would free up payroll at Barça, is also a credible option. The fact remains that Araujo still has a year and a half of contract and that Juventus has not yet had a response. To be continued.

Galatasaray has the advantage, but Tottenham, Aston Villa and Naples continue to hesitate.

Marcus Rashford, things are moving
According to Sky Italia, Marcus Rashford has officially started negotiations with AC Milan, with a view to a loan with an option to buy. The Italian club has reportedly already made an offer to Manchester United, but Dortmund would like to thwart the plans in the coming days.
Credibility index: 51%. The situation remains the same as yesterday. Rashford will discuss, he is right, but it is difficult to imagine that United agrees to cover a huge part of his salary, while Milan do not have excessive means. That said, the purchase option included in the deal could be a way to reassure the Red Devils. Dortmund seems a little better placed, so the index remains at 51% for the moment.
