Galatasaray are considering bringing Felipe Melo back to Turkey, reports UoL.

Melo has just a few months left on his deal with Palmeiras, with Galatasaray ready to offer him a one-and-a-half-year deal.

The Brazilian midfielder previously played for the club from 2011-15.

Gonzalo Higuain is considering retiring as he continues to struggle with Inter Miami.

According to the Sun, Higuain is expected to retire at the end of the MLS season, and the club would be happy to get his massive salary off the wage bill.

Higuain has just 11 goals in 35 games since joining the club.

Steve Bruce is due to receive around £8 million from Newcastle United following their decision to part with the 60-year-old as their manager.

The Athletic is reporting that Bruce will receive the amount due to a clause in his three-year rolling contract with the Premier League club.

Youri Tielemans has turned down Leicester City's latest contract offer as he considers his future at the club, 90min reports.

The Belgian is not thought to be pushing for a move away from the King Power Stadium but is not currently entertaining the idea of extending his contract, which ends in 2023.

The likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on Tielemans, who has established himself as one of the Premier League top midfield players.

RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo is the subject of interest from both Manchester United and Manchester City - according to BILD.

Barcelona have also been strongly linked with the 23-year-old, but one of the Manchester sides could look to beat them to the punch when the transfer window reopens.

Olmo, who began his career in Barca's La Masia academy, still has three years left to run on his contract at Leipzig, who will likely demand a hefty fee to let him go.

Paris Saint-Germain are hoping to tie Kylian Mbappe down to a short-term contract extension - according to France Football.

The 22-year-old, whose current deal expires in June 2022, wanted to join Real Madrid in the summer, and the Spanish giants are expected to return his signature in the new year.

PSG still believe they can change Mbappe's mind, though, and will do everything possible to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Chelsea are interested in Erling Haaland and says there are "regular" chats about a potential transfer for the Borussia Dortmund sensation.

Haaland has emerged as one of the hottest properties in European football over the past two years, having shot to prominence at Red Bull Salzburg before taking his game to even greater heights at Dortmund.

The Norwegian has scored 70 goals in 69 appearances since joining Dortmund for €20 million (£17m/$23m) in January 2020, attracting attention from a number of top clubs in the process, with Chelsea reportedly among his admirers.

Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt wants to secure a move to Barcelona - according to Diario Sport.

The 22-year-old turned down the Blaugrana in favour of joining Juve from Ajax in 2019, but has since struggled to live up to his €75 million (£63m/$87m) price tag.

De Ligt is growing more and more unhappy in Turin and Camp Nou is his first choice next destination, but his €105m (£89m/$122m) release clause will likely prove to be too steep for Barca to match.

Newcastle United have identified Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a transfer target - according to The Telegraph.

The Everton striker is the latest player to be linked with the Magpies following the completion of their £300 million ($413m) Saudi-backed takeover.

Real Madrid have also been credited with an interest in Calvert-Lewin recently, but he is contracted to remain at Goodison Park until 2025.
