Jose Mourinho was spotted at Belgium's Nations League match with Iceland on Thursday, fuelling speculation he could be about to move again for Toby Alderweireld.

Juventus have been offered the chance to raid Real Madrid once again for goalkeeper Keylor Navas, according to&nbsp;Corriere di Torino&nbsp;(via&nbsp;<a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/juve-offerto-un-giocatore-del-real-madrid-la-situazione-52675" target="_blank">CalcioMercato</a>).&nbsp; Navas has seen his first-team opportunities restricted this season following the arrival of Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea.&nbsp; The Italians, however, are unsure about reuniting the Costa Rican with Cristiano Ronaldo, despite&nbsp;Wojciech Szczesny's rather shaky form between the posts.

The former Barcelona youngster has impressed in Portugal in recent years and has one goal in ten appearances to his name so far this season. It's been suggested that current Juve left-back Sandro could be a target for Jose Mourinho's Manchester United in&nbsp;January. Real Madrid's Marcelo has been touted as a potential replacement but this report claims&nbsp;that Grimaldo could also be on Max Allegri's radar.

Okaka had a previous spell with the Cottagers in 2010 and worked together with Ranieri at Roma. The former Leicester City boss is said to view Okaka as the perfect alternative to first-choice striker Aleksandar Mitrovic. 29-year-old Okaka, who has made four appearances for Italy to date, is finding opportunities limited&nbsp;at Watford this season, with the likes of Troy Deeney, Isaac Success and Andre Gray all ahead of him in the pecking order.

Barcelona have sought to quash talk of Ousmane Dembele moving to Liverpool, with the Liga giants having no offers on the table.

Dembele struggled to justify that fee amid form and fitness during his debut campaign, but did become a World Cup winner over the summer and has netted six times in 15 appearances this season. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/barcelona-claim-no-liverpool-offer-for-dembele-as-they-stand/4c2wqx69pmdu1gii0zgxongaq" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>
