Transfers

Arsenal could reportedly launch a mega Kenan Yildiz swoop as the Gunners have been linked with a €60 million (£52m/$70m) swap deal to sign the Juventus ace. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has been on fire for the Old Lady this term. With two goals and four assists in just five appearances, Yildiz has rocketed to the top of Juve’s list of untouchables.

Bayern Munich reportedly "hope" that Tottenham will complete a permanent deal for Joao Palhinha, who does not feature in Vincent Kompany's plans. The Portuguese midfielder arrived in Germany from Fulham with high hopes, but his time under the Belgian manager has been nothing short of a disaster. Out of favour and out of his Kompany's plans, Bayern now want rid, and Spurs could be the perfect escape route.

Manchester United are once again dipping into the South American talent pool, this time with the capture of Colombian prodigy Cristian Orozco. Reports in Colombia suggest the Red Devils have thrashed out a deal with Fortaleza CEIF, the teenager’s current side, as Ruben Amorim continues a long-term rebuild at Old Trafford.

Steven Gerrard could be "tempted" to return to Scottish giants Rangers as the Liverpool legend contemplates a return to management. Gerrard’s name is once again echoing around Ibrox as Rangers supporters grow increasingly impatient with current boss Russell Martin. The Englishman may have scraped a much-needed domestic victory over Hibs at the weekend, but his position remains precarious.

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of securing Senegalese sensation Mouhamed Dabo, after the young midfielder impressed during trials at the club’s Carrington base. According to Africa Foot, the U17 national team captain is “very close” to committing to the Red Devils, sparking excitement over another African prospect joining the club’s youth setup.

Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly weighing up a dramatic exit from Manchester United in a desperate bid to keep his World Cup ambitions alive. The 20-year-old midfielder, once billed as the jewel of United’s academy, is growing increasingly disillusioned with life under new boss Ruben Amorim after being frozen out of the starting XI.

River Plate wonderkid Ian Subiabre is reportedly on Chelsea's radar as they consider signing another South American wonderkid. In the past two years, the Blues have snapped up Brazilian rising star Estevao Willian and Ecuadorian prospect Kendry Paez. Now, they could repeat the trick, this time with the 18-year-old Argentine.

Barcelona have reportedly made a decision on Marcus Rashford’s future amid talk of a stand off with Manchester United over a transfer fee. The England forward has slotted seamlessly into life at the Camp Nou, scoring twice and setting up two more in his last three outings. At 27, he looks rejuvenated, with his performances turning heads in Catalonia and drawing warm praise from fans.

Marc Guehi is reportedly 'likely' to leave Crystal Palace in January amid transfer interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid. The defender was on the cusp of sealing an Anfield move on transfer deadline day, only for Palace to pull out of the deal at the eleventh hour. Madrid are hoping to sign him on a free next summer but the Eagles may try and get a fee for him in early 2026.

Julian Alvarez’s frustrations at Atletico Madrid have sparked fresh transfer speculation, with his former coach tipping him for a move to Barcelona. Hugo Rafael Varas insists Alvarez has 'never' been used in his right position under Diego Simeone and believes the Argentine forward should leave unless there is a change of manager.

Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly targeting a Juventus star but it will take a 'mind-blowing' offer to sign him. Ruben Amorim's side have spent a lot on their defence in recent times but further investment in that area cannot be ruled out, while the Reds are looking for someone to partner Virgil van Dijk at the back. Now, both teams have targeted a €80 million-rated player.

Jamie Carragher has revealed what his "dream" Liverpool transfer would be but admits it is a long shot. The Reds legend was honoured in Bilbao on Tuesday where he received the 2025 One Club Man award after spending his entire career at the Merseyside outfit. Before being handed this honour by Athletic Club, the ex-defender admitted he would love to see a La Liga player in a Liverpool shirt.

Arsenal have reportedly made contact with the entourage of a rising Serie A star but will have to splash the cash to sign him. The Gunners spent just under €300 million (£262m) on signings this summer but speculation is mounting that they are ready to go big again. But a certain European giant is unlikely to want to sell one of their prized assets.

Antony's Manchester United team-mates reportedly had doubts about the winger's ability and concerns were raised over his conduct towards Carrington staff. The Brazilian swapped Ajax for the Red Devils in a whopping £85 million ($115m) deal in 2022 and joined Real Betis this summer for £63.8m ($86m) less than that. Now, more grumblings about the 25-year-old are coming out of the woodwork.

Thomas Frank has confirmed that he would love Tottenham to re-sign Harry Kane from Bayern Munich. The England captain departed north London in 2023 and has won the Bundesliga in Germany, but Frank has now confirmed that he would be more than willing to welcome him back with open arms, should the opportunity arise.

Harry Kane's return to Tottenham is reportedly not as 'fanciful' as many would believe despite being happy at Bayern Munich. The 32-year-old is said to have a £56.7 million release clause that could come into effect at the end of the season. And there are 'fears' in Germany that the England international could leave the Bundesliga giants in 2026.

Getafe are closing in on signing former Leeds and Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford. The free agent was released from his contract by the Premier League side just a few days before the deadline day after falling out of coach Daniel Farke's plans and is reportedly set to travel to Spain to discuss a possible transfer.

Benfica might expect a reunion between newly appointed manager Jose Mourinho and one of his former players at Real Madrid, Karim Benzema. While the former French international is currently playing for Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, his contract expires next year, and the club are ready to let him go if the Portuguese side pay a small transfer fee.

Real Madrid will not change their contract offer to Vinicius Junior amid a standoff between the Spanish club and the Brazilian winger. Having been dropped twice in recent weeks by new coach Xabi Alonso, the winger is facing further scrutiny this season and the club are reluctant to match his demands for a significant pay rise.

Dayot Upamecano has reignited his dream of joining Real Madrid, telling his agent to push for a Bernabeu move when his Bayern Munich deal runs out in 2026. Faced with a repeat of the David Alaba transfer to the Spanish giants, the Bundesliga champions now face a familiar dilemma - meet his demands, sell early, or risk losing another cornerstone for free.

The terms of a “secret” release clause in Harry Kane’s contract at Bayern Munich have been revealed, with it possible that the former Tottenham striker could return to the Premier League in 2026. In order for that to happen, two key conditions must be met - with any suitors in English football likely to be keeping a close eye on events in Germany.

Dele Alli has been warned that, with his form having “fallen off a cliff”, that his next port of call is likely to represent a “last chance” in the professional ranks. The former Tottenham and Everton midfielder finds himself in the free agent pool after being released by Como. There has been talk of EFL clubs, including ambitious Wrexham, showing interest.

Hugo Ekitike claims to feel no pressure from his £79 million ($107m) transfer fee at Liverpool, with the French forward saying “I don’t care” when asked about the price tag hanging around his neck. The 23-year-old has made a bright start to life at Anfield and remains convinced that he made the right choice in joining the reigning Premier League champions.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler admits that Manchester United's transfer interest in Carlos Baleba may have unsettled the midfielder after a difficult start to the season. The Red Devils were keen on signing the 21-year-old this summer but in the end, they were put off by his reported £115 million price tag. And after being taken off early against Tottenham, Hurzeler has fired a warning to Baleba.

Marc Guehi has reportedly set his heart on a surprise transfer away from Crystal Palace after the defender saw his deadline day move to Liverpool collapse. The England defender came within a whisker of joining the Reds on deadline day, only for Crystal Palace to pull the plug when they couldn’t land a replacement.

Manchester United are reportedly willing to sacrifice Kobbie Mainoo in a sensational part-exchange bid for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde. The Red Devils are said to have put €50 million (£44m) on the table alongside the 20-year-old talent, but Los Blancos see the Uruguayan as a cornerstone of their future plans. Amorim, meanwhile, continues to cast doubts on Mainoo’s role.

Vinicius Junior could consider quitting Real Madrid if his demands over wages are not met. The Brazilian, who has two years left in his existing deal, has been a long-term target for Saudi Pro League clubs, although the winger has always maintained that he sees his long-term future at Santiago Bernabeu. Vinicius has started the new season strongly as he has three goal contributions in five matches.

William Saliba has requested an urgent meeting with Arsenal over the renewal of his contract as Real Madrid ramp up their interest in signing the French defender. Saliba's current deal at Emirates Stadium expires in 2027 and Los Blancos are ready to negotiate a cut-price deal for the Frenchman with the Gunners over the next two years.

Marcus Rashford's hope of making a permanent switch to Barcelona next summer has hit a roadblock as the Spanish giants are all set to see their spending power slashed by £100m due to La Liga's latest constraints. Rashford has regained his old form since moving on loan to Barcelona from Manchester United in the summer and the player reportedly wishes to stay back beyond this season.
