Valencia want Manchester United’s Rojo
Relegation-threatened Valencia have turned their attention to Manchester United’s Marcos Rojo to save them from a potential season in the second division. Manager Cesare Prandelli and owner Peter Lim held a meeting and the defender emerged at the top of their winter shopping list.
Los Che are preparing for life without Aymen Abdennour, who will be away on national duty due to the African Cup of Nations. However, it remains to be seen if Valencia are successful in their pursuit for Rojo, given that he has played an integral part in Manchester United’s campaign so far in the season.
Claudio Bravo eyeing Barcelona return
According to Spanish weekly Don Balon, Manchester City shot-stopper Claudio Bravo is eyeing a return to Camp Nou in the upcoming transfer window only months after his £15.4m move from Barcelona to the Etihad.
The 33-year-old has struggled to adjust to the rigours of the Premier League and wants to return to his former club. If Barcelona do sign him in the upcoming window it will be a cut-price deal and it will also be interesting who Pep Guardiola turns to for guarding his goal, given former No. 1 Joe Hart is currently on loan at Turin.
