Football giants Barcelona are reportedly keeping a close eye on England and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, 33, and Manchester City's Norway international Erling Haaland, 26. Both forwards are being considered as potential alternatives to Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have been linked with Newcastle United and Germany forward Nick Woltemade, 24, who is currently on loan at Juventus. Woltemade is seen as a potential replacement for Kane.
In other transfer news, Manchester United are reportedly showing renewed interest in Everton and England defender Jarrad Branthwaite, 24. This comes after his return to action following injury problems.
Arsenal are said to have English winger Rio Ngumoha, 18, on their radar, though Liverpool are keen to extend his long-term contract. Tottenham remain interested in Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, 26, despite Forest's stated intention not to sell. Real Madrid striker Endrick, 20, could be available in January, with Manchester United among the interested clubs.
Barcelona sporting director Deco has also met with Brazil international Raphinha, 29, to discuss extending his contract, which runs until 2028. Additionally, AC Milan's option to make Omari Hutchinson's loan move from Nottingham Forest permanent is reportedly close to 50m euros (£42.8m).
