Real Madrid will hear offers for Eden Hazard in the winter transfer window as they prepare to lay the ground for Kylian Mbappe, per <a href="https://todofichajes.com/el-real-madrid-valora-dar-salida-a-hazard-en-el-mercado-de-invierno/" target="_blank">Todo Fichajes</a>. Los Blancos - who were reportedly in financial difficulties despite a major offer for the France international this summer - intend to pursue the PSG man in the new year. In order to facilitate that move, it is thought they will need to move on Hazard, who has struggled to live up to his reputation since arriving from Chelsea after a run of injuries.

Blackburn pulled the plug on a Josh Maja loan due to injury last month, but the 22-year-old hopes for a return to England from Bordeaux, per <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16115922/blackburn-josh-maja-loan-transfer-bordeaux/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. Having spent the latter half of last term in the Premier League with Fulham, Maja had hoped to secure a future on British soil. But a knock scuppered his hopes and he will now look to the January transfer window for a future move.

The Manchester United shotstopper is being eyed by the Turin giants for a move to Serie A.

Everton will not have to fight Liverpool in a race for Rangers right-back&nbsp;Nathan Patterson in January, says <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16115899/everton-transfer-rangers-nathan-patterson-liverpool/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. The 19-year-old could leave Scotland for the Premier League, with the Toffees having already fallen short in a bid to bring hiim to Merseyside. Now, they will try again - and they won't have to battle their rivals to bring him to Goodison Park too.

James Rodriguez failed to secure a move away from Everton this summer because no one was prepared to pay his £250,000-a-week wages, reports <a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-everton-star-handed-astonishing-250000-a-week-deal-by-brands/" target="_blank">Football Insider.</a> The Colombian signed a two-year deal at Goodison Park last September to become the Toffees' highest-paid player of all time as well as one of the highest earners in the Premier League. New Everton boss Rafa Benitez does not seen James in his plans so was keen to move him on and use the money saved elsewhere, but no buyer could be found.

James wages prevented Toffees exit

Sam Johnstone has put contract talks on hold to focus on trying to get West Brom back into the Premier League, a move which could see him leave on a free transfer next summer, reports the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16115589/west-brom-sam-johnstone-new-contract/" target="_blank">Sun.</a> Johnstone's current deal expires at the end of the season so he would be available for nothing if he decides to turn down fresh terms - sparking interest from the likes of&nbsp;Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool. They&nbsp;were all linked with Johnstone in the summer but were put off by West Brom's valuation, but will now&nbsp;monitor his situation closely in case he decides to quit the Hawthorns at the end of the season.

Johnstone to delay contract talks

A number of Premier League clubs remain interested in&nbsp;Alexander Isak despite the Sweden striker signing a new long-term contract with Real Sociedad, according to <a href="https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/futuro-alexander-isak-apunta-premier-league-20210912.html" target="_blank">Fichajes.</a> The 21-year-old has signed a new deal through to 2026 that includes a release clause worth €90 million (£77m/$106m). That is not enough to put off Premier League clubs, with Arsenal among those monitoring the striker's progress, while Arsenal and Chelsea have been credited with an interest in the past.

Prem clubs still tracking Isak

Tottenham have opened talks with Ajax over a possible January deal for defender Jurrien Timber, according to <a href="https://todofichajes.com/el-tottenham-quiere-cerrar-a-timber-en-enero/" target="_blank">Todofichajes.</a> The 20-year-old looks to be the next young talent to roll off the production line at the Amsterdam giants, having already broken into the first team and earned full international recognition with the Netherlands. That has understandably led to interest from a number of clubs, with Tottenham making an early move as they look to tie up a €20 million (£17/$24m) deal in the winter window.

Barcelona are interested in AC Milan midfielder&nbsp;Franck Kessie but face intense competition from Liverpool, Tottenham and PSG for his signature, according to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20210912/1001687369/vinculan-barca-pasos-kessie.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo.</a> Kessie is out of contract next summer and talks over a new deal have stalled, meaning he could be available on a free transfer. Barca are huge admirers of the Ivory Coast international but his wage demands could be an issue given their current financial difficulties, which would allow rival clubs the chance to sign him instead.

Thomas Tuchel says it was "simply impossible" for Chelsea to allow Callum Hudson-Odoi to leave in the final day of the transfer window. The Premier League side&nbsp;blocked the 20-year-old winger from making a move to Borussia Dortmund&nbsp;at the end of August. Tuchel has explained why it was a "very easy decision" for him to prevent&nbsp;the player from making the switch. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/blocking-hudson-odois-deadline-day-dortmund-transfer-was/3ss9ymzcpvd81lyvrplrrt62c" target="_blank">Read the full story on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Lorenzo Insigne and Napoli remain far away from an agreement over a new contract for the Italy international. But&nbsp;<a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/napoli-contatto-de-laurentiis-insigne-segnali-positivi-per-il-ri-95460" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>&nbsp;reports the player's agent met with Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis this weekend. Insigne's deal expires at the end of the season and he is open to signing a new one, but he is demanding a wage increase while Napoli need him to accept a lower rate.

Dani Olmo has been marked as Barcelona's top target for the next transfer window, but there is no guarantee they will land the attacker. <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2021/09/12/613cb71fca4741df408b4573.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>&nbsp;reports that Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Juventus are all eager to sign the RB Leipzig star, who could cost upwards of €70 million (£60m/$83m).
