- Bayern Munich have emerged as suitors for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, according to TEAMtalk. The Bundesliga side are believed to see the 26-year-old as a potential future replacement for Harry Kane, who they want to remain at the Allianz Arena for a further two years before assessing whether a move for Haaland is possible. Meanwhile, TEAMtalk reports that Vincent Kompany's side are also keen on Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, and could be contenders for his signature next summer amid plans to add him to their squad with England compatriot Kane.

- Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell, TEAMtalk reports. The Red Devils reportedly see the 27-year-old as an alternative to Newcastle's Lewis Hall as they continue plans to identify a long-term successor to Luke Shaw. Mitchell entered the final 12 months of his contract in the summer, and it is said that Chelsea are also monitoring his situation, attracted to the opportunity of landing him on a free transfer.

- Chelsea and Manchester City are exploring a move for AC Milan forward Francesco Camarda, according to TEAMtalk. The Blues are said to have tracked the 19-year-old for some time, and they are monitoring whether an opportunity to land him could arise due to a lack of minutes for the Rossoneri since returning from his loan spell at Lecce. Camarda scored one goal in 21 Serie A appearances last season.

- Napoli are struggling to make progress in talks with the representatives of midfielder Kevin De Bruyne over a new contract, transfer journalist Nicolo Schira reports. Discussions have reportedly stalled with the 35-year-old, who arrived at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on a two-year deal in the summer of 2025, and it is now said that they are "on the verge" of parting ways next summer. De Bruyne was previously linked with clubs in Major League Soccer and the Saudi Pro League before deciding to join Gli Azzurri.

- On-loan Aston Villa winger Alejandro Garnacho is attracting interest from clubs in LaLiga, the Daily Mail reports. The 22-year-old is believed to be on the radar of several clubs in Spain amid struggles to earn a place in Unai Emery's side, with 32 minutes of action in the Premier League spread across three substitute appearances. He is on loan from Chelsea, but any potential permanent move at Villa Park would require conditions to be met, which would see a £43 million proposed deal become official.
