Aston Villa are reportedly wavering on making Alejandro Garnacho's move permanent, while Brighton refuse to budge on Diego Gomez.
Aston Villa are reportedly having second thoughts about turning Alejandro Garnacho's move into a permanent deal. The Argentine winger arrived with plenty of hype, but Villa are said to be weighing whether a long-term commitment is the right call.
The doubts make this a pivotal stretch for Garnacho. A player with his ability and reputation will have no shortage of admirers, but an uncertain future is the last thing he needs while trying to find consistency and prove his value.
Elsewhere, Brighton are reportedly standing firm on Diego Gomez despite interest from other clubs. The Paraguayan midfielder has become a valued part of the Seagulls' plans, and the club appear in no mood to be pushed into a sale.
There is also unrest around Manchester United's managerial search. Candidates for the job are said to have concerns about certain players in the squad, a worry that could shape how the next appointment takes shape at Old Trafford.
It is all gossip for now, and plenty can change before anything becomes official. Villa's decision on Garnacho and Brighton's stance on Gomez are the two storylines to watch as the window approaches.
