Liverpool and Hungary defender Milos Kerkez has been threatened by Hungarian supporters after he was spotted attending an amateur match in Serbia.

The incident is the latest in a series of controversies involving the 21-year-old, who was previously targeted by Ukrainian users on social media following the first Nations League meeting between Hungary and Ukraine.

Kerkez was involved in a confrontation during that match. Afterwards, his father posted a photograph accompanied by Russian music, prompting a hostile reaction from Ukrainians. Both the player and his father subsequently received threats online.

Kerkez missed the return fixture against Ukraine because of suspension. He left the Hungary camp before that game, but did not return to Liverpool. Instead, he travelled to Serbia, the country where he was born.

He was later seen at an amateur football match in Serbia, leading to threats from Hungarian fans. According to Goal, those threats were partly linked to the strained relationship between Serbs and Hungarians.

Hungary’s foreign minister, Anita Orban, has condemned the threats made against Kerkez.

Despite being born in Serbia, Kerkez represents Hungary because of a promise he made to his Hungarian grandmother.

The report says Maresca met a representative of Manchester City’s owners, the chair of the board and the club’s chief executive. During the meeting, they asked him to speak to the squad and assure the players that the case would ultimately end favourably for the club.

The proposed deal involved two transfers between the clubs. Richarlison was due to join Everton, while Ndiaye would have moved to Tottenham. However, the Brazilian’s decision to reject the switch led to both deals collapsing.

Romano added that Tottenham are highly likely to part company with Richarlison in January.

Andrei Kanchelskis has said Manchester City could be stripped of all their titles as punishment for breaching financial fair play rules, but warned that the club itself should not be “killed”.

Barcelona and Juventus have made preliminary contact over a possible move for Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko in 2027, according to TuttoJuve.

Juventus are currently ahead of the Spanish club in the race for the Slovenia international, although neither side has made an official offer. The main obstacle is the asking price, with Manchester United valuing Sesko at 75 million euros.

Bayern Munich want to extend Olise’s contract. The France international is reportedly willing to agree to a new deal, but only if it includes a clearly defined release clause that would allow him to leave for Real Madrid in the future.

Haaland’s position is described as being more uncertain. His future at Manchester City could depend largely on the punishment the club receives in relation to alleged financial irregularities.

Transfermarkt estimates the combined value of Haaland and Olise at 400 million euros.

Svensson’s current contract with Borussia Dortmund runs until the end of June 2029. His market value is estimated at 22 million euros.

Inter Milan midfielder Petar Sucic is attracting interest from several clubs, according to information published on insider Ekrem Konur’s social media accounts.

Manchester United have begun negotiations with midfielder Bruno Fernandes over a new contract, according to respected journalist Dean Jones of FlashScore.

The Portugal international wants to remain at Old Trafford, but the financial terms of any new agreement could prove decisive. A number of clubs are expected to show interest in Fernandes in 2027 and could attempt to attract him with more lucrative offers.

Manchester United are nevertheless determined to persuade Fernandes that staying with the club represents the best option for him.

The 32-year-old has made seven appearances in all competitions this season, scoring four goals and providing one assist.

Arsenal are preparing a €100m offer for Juventus winger Kenan Y?ld?z, with the London club ready to meet the Italian side’s valuation of the Turkey international, according to reports in Italy.

Corriere dello Sport says Juventus’ failure to qualify for the Champions League again would significantly increase the likelihood of Y?ld?z leaving the club. The 21-year-old is valued at €100m by the Turin side.

Juventus are not keen to part with Y?ld?z, but selling him for that fee would give the club the financial scope to sign two forwards as replacements. The possibility of missing out on Champions League football is understood to be an important factor in determining the player’s future.

Tuttomercatoweb reports that Arsenal are prepared to do everything possible to complete the transfer and intend to satisfy Juventus’ €100m asking price. That would put the Premier League club firmly into contention for a player also wanted by Real Madrid.

The Spanish side are now expected to face competition from Arsenal for Y?ld?z, whose position at Juventus has attracted interest despite limited involvement this season.

Y?ld?z has played in only one Serie A match this campaign and has not recorded a goal or an assist.
