- Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea are keeping tabs on Real Madrid right back Trent Alexander-Arnold, reports TEAMtalk. The Premier League clubs have been in contact with the 27-year-old's representatives, who have explored what options could be available should he leave the Bernabéu. Alexander-Arnold is keen to stay put with the LaLiga side this season which has made a potential move in January unlikely, though the situation is expected to be assessed at the end of the season.

- Juventus are interested in Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Bianconeri are monitoring the 32-year-old's situation at the Etihad Stadium, where he is set to enter the final six months of his contract in January, and the Serie A club are ready to make an approach to sign him on a free transfer. Kovacic has played just two minutes of football in the Premier League this season across two substitute appearances.

- Bayern Munich are keen on Benfica defender Tomás Araújo, reports Bild journalist Christian Falk. The 24-year-old is said to have been on the Bundesliga side's radar for some time, but whether they push forward for a move for him depends on if they decide to part ways with center back Kim Min-jae. Araujo has been in impressive form so far this season, producing a standout display in the recent 2-0 Europa League win over AC Milan at the San Siro.

- Real Madrid are no longer looking to part ways with defender Raúl Asencio, reports Marca. The 23-year-old dismissed interest from Chelsea and Liverpool in the summer despite Madrid manager Jose Mourinho "showing him the door," and while he hasn't made an appearance in La Liga this season, the situation is now set to change after the injury to Ibrahima Konaté and recent red card to Dean Huijsen during the 2-1 league defeat to Atletico Madrid.

- Roma will demand an offer worth around €100 million should suitors return for midfielder Manu Koné, reports Gazzetta dello Sport. Two goals in the 2-2 draw with Inter Milan continued a promising start to the season for the 25-year-old, who Chelsea made a proposal worth around €60m for in the summer. The Giallorossi now want any potential offer to reflect his recent form and be comparable to Sandro Tonali's £100m switch from Newcastle to Tottenham Hotspur.
