Liverpool might reportedly miss out on Marc Guehi again as five clubs are looking to take advantage of the Crystal Palace captain's contract situation. The Reds' frantic deadline day took a dramatic twist when their £35million pursuit of Marc Guehi sensationally collapsed at the final hurdle. The Crystal Palace skipper had been all set to complete his switch to Anfield, even undergoing medical checks, before the deal was ripped away at the eleventh hour.
Barcelona defender Eric Garcia is closing in on signing a new long-term contract, which will keep him at the Catalan club until 2029. Garcia was deemed surplus to Barcelona's needs before Hansi Flick took charge of the club.

Kylian Mbappe has revealed that he could have taken a very different path in his career, with the Real Madrid forward admitting that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig all made attempts to sign him while he was still at Monaco.

Barcelona are weighing up a sensational move for Harry Kane in 2026, with reports in Spain suggesting the Bayern Munich striker could be available for as little as €40 million (£35m).

Ibrahima Konate has jokingly claimed that Kylian Mbappe calls him frequently to convince him to follow in Trent Alexander-Arnold's footsteps and join Real Madrid next summer. Konate, who has entered the final year of his contract with Liverpool, has been linked with a move to Los Blancos as he has yet to negotiate a new deal with the Premier League champions.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has again hit back at Barcelona boss Hansi Flick after the German accused the national team of mismanaging Lamine Yamal’s fitness.
