Live transfer updates: Newcastle turns down Bayern offer, Phillips undergoing medical for West Ham.

Middlesbrough remains steadfast in their assessment of Morgan Rogers and has turned down two successive offers from Aston Villa.

Boro is becoming increasingly frustrated with the offers that Villa has made for the winger. They are seeking a price of approximately £10m for the 21-year-old, who they highly value. However, no specific figure has been communicated to Villa as their preference is to retain a player they only recently signed in the summer.

Rogers moved from Manchester City, where he was regarded as a promising young player. Villa initially offered about half of what Middlesbrough would consider selling him for, but even though they made a better offer, Boro is refusing to budge.

It is believed that Rogers is interested in joining Villa due to their Premier League status and the fact that his family resides in Birmingham. However, it is uncertain if the team from the midlands will increase their offer once more.

Nuno Espirito Santo, manager of Nottingham Forest, anticipates a challenging conclusion to the January transfer window as he strives to manage his extensive team.

Nuno is worried about the number of players on the team that he took over, and he intends to sell a few of them because he doesn’t want to end the transfer period with players he doesn’t want on the team.

The activity of Forest will not be impacted by the Premier League’s charge this week for violating profitability and sustainability rules. However, they must balance their transfers and break even.

“It’s quite challenging. One must acknowledge that this window is tough to navigate as the desired targets are often unavailable,” he stated.

“This is a common occurrence at all clubs; the players who are currently available are those who may not be in a positive state of mind. Unfortunately, it also affects us – there is often speculation about our players leaving due to discontentment or certain circumstances.”

“We must exercise caution. Your desires may not always align with reality. We must be prepared for all possibilities during the transfer window as anything can occur.”

Nottingham Forest have asked PGMOL and the Premier League for an explanation regarding Ivan Toney’s controversial free-kick that aided Brentford in their return to winning ways against the midlands side on Saturday.

Toney adjusted the referee’s foam and repositioned the ball to a more advantageous spot for a free-kick. He successfully scored from the kick, bringing the home team to an equal score.

The Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, expressed dissatisfaction with the incident and the club has sent a letter to the governing bodies to determine if Toney’s actions were considered a foul. The club is seeking clarification on whether players are allowed to manipulate the ball in that manner before a set piece and if not, why VAR did not intervene.

Italian club AC Milan have expressed their desire to acquire Fulham’s Tosin, a defender. The club’s main focus is on securing a free transfer during the upcoming summer.

Tosin is now able to communicate with international teams during this month in regards to signing a pre-contract agreement, as his current contract with Fulham will end in the summer.

There are still multiple possibilities for his future, one of which is signing a new contract with Fulham.

Jordan Henderson has expressed that his transfer to Ajax is an ideal chance, as he ended his stint in Saudi Arabia early. The 33-year-old agreed to a two-and-a-half year contract with the Dutch team, as he struggled to adapt at Al-Ettifaq.

The former captain of Liverpool stated that joining Ajax, which is one of the largest clubs globally and the biggest club in Holland, is a fantastic chance for him to contribute to the club’s progress and success.

there’s no money

The individual stated that there was no monetary gain in selecting Ajax instead of an English team for his comeback to European football. He also mentioned, “Do not trust everything you see in the media, as there is no financial benefit.”

“It had nothing to do with anything but football. I felt it was the perfect opportunity to come to such a huge club and showcase what I’ve tried to do my whole life – to dedicate myself to football.

I am extremely grateful for the warm welcome I have received here. I am honored to have the chance to be a part of such a fantastic football club and to show my appreciation for the trust placed in me.

“In the upcoming two and a half years, I will dedicate myself fully to reviving the club and achieving maximum success.”

The Sun reports that Nottingham Forest is considering making a move for Chelsea’s defender Trevoh Chalobah.

The 24-year-old has been absent from the game since the previous season due to a hamstring injury. However, the midlands team is interested in recruiting them for their defense, as they are in need of reinforcements.

West Ham and Nordsjaelland are currently in discussions for the permanent transfer of winger Ibrahim Osman, as they are not satisfied with their January transfer dealings thus far.

Currently, the discussed fee is around £15m, which falls within West Ham’s budget range.

The Hammers are currently considering a potential agreement with Al-Ittihad’s Jota, but the challenge lies in negotiating a deal that is feasible based on the player’s salary.

It is reported that he is making £200,000 a week, which is an excessive sum even for a Premier League team.

Newcastle United stands firm on their decision not to sell Kieran Trippier or Callum Wilson in January.

Bayern Munich’s initial offer to loan Trippier was turned down during the weekend, as Atletico Madrid has also expressed interest in Wilson.

As it stands, Newcastle is nearing their maximum threshold for the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations (PSR). However, there is a strong determination to retain their key players at St James’ Park for the remainder of the season.

High-ranking members have conversed with Trippier and Wilson, both of whom do not appear overly interested in leaving the club.

Newcastle United is getting ready to make some major choices in the last 10 days of the January transfer window, as other teams try to benefit from their financial limitations.

The Magpies have turned down a loan proposal from Bayern Munich for important defender Kieran Trippier and have also received and declined a similar request from Atletico Madrid for forward Callum Wilson.

But, they are preparing for potential consequences that may bring about the types of challenges CEO Darren Eales mentioned as a possibility after the club’s new Saudi owners began their £400 million+ spending spree in October 2021, due to profit and sustainability regulations.

Earlier this month, Eales made remarks about Newcastle’s financial situation. The club reported a loss of £73.4m after taxes in their most recent financial report. Eales acknowledged that every player on Eddie Howe’s team is up for sale as the club works to improve their financial standing.
