10:34am, 16 October 2025【Football】

1 - Manchester United will sell Zirkzee

The Times reported that Roma and Como are paying attention to Manchester United forward Zirkzee and may make a loan offer in January.

Last summer, Manchester United spent 36.5 million pounds to sign Zirkzee from Bologna, but he struggled to establish himself under Ten Hag, and now he has few opportunities under Amorin. After Manchester United successively introduced Cunha, Mbeumo and Sheshko this summer, Zirkzee's playing opportunities have been further reduced. So far this season, he has only played 4 times as a substitute for a total of 82 minutes.

The 24-year-old Dutch international is considering leaving Manchester United in the January transfer window, with Roma and Como interested in him.

2 - Manchester City bought a very young talented player

The "Post" reported that Scottish midfielder Keir McMeekin, who was only 15 years old, decided to join Manchester City after rejecting Manchester United's invitation.

Keir McMeekin performed well in a series of behind-closed-doors games at the beginning of the season, leaving a deep impression on rival coaches. One head coach commented that he has "solid skills, confidence on the ball, and the ability to see the rhythm of the game and make correct decisions."

McMeekin King's growth story is legendary. He not only honed his superb skills by playing futsal, but when he was only 10 years old, inspired by the deeds of Captain Tom Moore, he raised more than 1,800 pounds for charity by throwing the ball one mile every day for 26 consecutive days, showing a character that transcends his age.

3 - Many of the Blues' main players are injured and suspended

The "Post" reported that Chelsea coach Maresca will be suspended from the sidelines during the game against Nottingham Forest, and he will watch the game from the rostrum. However, in accordance with FA regulations, Maresca is still allowed to communicate with the coaching bench via electronic devices and enter the dressing room before, during and after games.

Reece James missed the England game as a precautionary measure due to a minor hamstring problem. Whether he can play in this week's game against Nottingham Forest needs to wait for official news from Friday's press conference.

Similarly, Enzo also needs to wait for final confirmation due to knee swelling. In addition, Chelsea is monitoring the recovery of future new signing, left-back Denner from Corinthians, from knee surgery.

4 - Talking with Saudi Arabia

According to exclusive news from foreign media 365scores, Saudi Arabia has launched formal talks with Seat B, offering an annual salary of 35 million to 40 million euros.

The media stated that exclusive sources said that in the past few hours, Saudi Arabia has launched formal talks with Chairman B and made significant progress. Seat B's agent and Saudi Arabia have begun to discuss the possibility of a winter window transfer. If this fails, visa exemption next summer is also an option.

It is understood that Saudi Arabia has prepared a huge contract for Seat B. The basic annual salary is 35 million to 40 million euros, plus generous bonuses and image rights. Seat B has begun to seriously consider the possibility of playing in Saudi Arabia after the World Cup. Of course, if invited by other European teams, he will postpone the decision.

5 - Which giant club will Stroebeck approve of?

According to the famous reporter Falk, Dortmund defender Schloterbeck is not satisfied with the contract extension offer he received. Now Liverpool may soon contact Dortmund about his transfer, while Bayern and Real Madrid are also paying attention to the player's situation.

Falke said that Schlotterbeck is interested in potential offers from Liverpool. At this time, the Red Army is reacting to the long-term injury of young player Leoni and is worried that Konate may leave the team as a free agent when his contract expires next summer.
