Rumour Reel: Fabregas to AC Milan, Reds to rival for Witsel while Arsenal eye Rodriguez

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are reportedly set to rival the Italian Champions and Merseyside rivals Everton for the box-to-box Belgium midfielder.

Witsel’s contract expires at the end of the season and can talk to clubs from this January, potentially signing a pre-contract or being sold if Zenit decide to cash in.

The Russian league winner would likely take Jordan Henderson’s place, after having a poor start to the new campaign.

Further afield, the Anfield outfit have been linked with River Plate star Lucas Alario, according to reports coming out of Spain.

Arsenal eye Rodriguez

Reports suggest Arsene Wenger could be ready to rival the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea for the services of James Rodriguez.

The Colombian has found himself out of favour at Real Madrid under Zinedine Zidane, recording just 34 minutes of La Liga action this season. However, with a transfer ban looming over the Spanish capital side, Los Blancos may be reluctant to sell.

However, the the emergence of Marco Asensio and Isco impressing when he takes to the field, Madrid have ample cover if they decide the let the playmaker go.

Real paid around £63m for Rodriguez after an excellent 2014 World Cup and will hope to recoup a large amount of this, especially as Premier League sides now seem to pay a premium.
