Real could face competition from Serie A clubs for Gasiorowski

Real Madrid have shown interest in signing highly-rated 19-year-old Valencia defender Yarek Gasiorowski, according to journalist Matteo Moretto. The player's contract, however, will be automatically extended this season once he completes 20 appearances for the club and a €45m release clause will be added. Other than the Spanish giants several Serie A clubs are keen on signing the teenager.

PSG set to offer new deal to Hakimi

Real legend Raul could leave the club

Per AS, Bundesliga side Schalke are considering appointing Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez as their head coach after a difficult start to their journey in the league this season. However, the former Spain captain is expected to continue at Real Madrid Castilla at least until the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

Barca could sign former Arsenal star to replace Ter Stegen

Per journalist Joan Fontes, Barcelona are planning to sign former Arsenal and Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny as they look to replace injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The Catalan giants are planning to use Robert Lewandowski to convince his compatriot Szczesny to come out of retirement.

Real Madrid eyeing move for RB Leipzig's Lukeba

Per journalist Jose Felix Diaz (via Marca), Real Madrid have shown interest in signing 21-year-old RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba next summer. The youngster has been a mainstay at the Bundesliga since joining them from Lyon last summer. The player is currently valued at €40m.

Arsenal set to offer new deal to Trossard

Per Nieuwsblad, Arsenal are considering offering a fresh contract extension to Belgian attacker Leandro Trossard. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is known to be an admirer of the player and had even blocked his move away from the club this summer amid interest from Saudi Pro league side Al-Ittihad.

Two Premier League clubs interested in signing Gomez

Per TEAMtalk, two top English sides Aston Villa and Newcastle United are keen on signing Liverpool and England defender Joe Gomez. The England international made a failed attempt to exit Anfield this summer, however, his move did not materialise.

Liverpool identify Van Dijk's replacement

Per AS, Liverpool have shown interest in signing Sevilla defender Loic Bade as they look to replace star centre-back Virgil van Dijk in the long run. The Spanish side extended the player's contract last season which currently runs until 2029 and have also included a release clause of €60m.

Man City preparing major bid for Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester City is apparently preparing a proposal for Jamal Musiala, putting them squarely in the running to sign the player.

Man City is the "most informed" team in the Premier League regarding Musiala's circumstances, according to sources who exclusively spoke with TEAMtalk. The young player's contract expires in 2026, and Bayern hasn't been able to extend it despite their best efforts.

According to the source, Man City has "hinted" that they may make a bid for Musiala worth €100 million (£83.8 million/$111.7 million). That should at least start a meaningful conversation, even though it probably won't be enough to persuade Bayern to allow Musiala to depart.

Liverpool eyeing move for Bayer Leverkusen trio

Liverpool is keeping an eye on three players from Bayer Leverkusen as possible transfer targets: Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Exequiel Palacios as per CaughtOffside.

If Wirtz does leave Leverkusen, which is more likely to happen next summer than it was at any stage this year, the Bundesliga winners would likely demand a fee of about €100 million. At that time, Wirtz was adamant that he was not for sale at all.

Last but not least, the Merseyside titans also like Palacios, who is also under consideration by Chelsea and Arsenal. However, potential suitors may be put off by Leverkusen's €60 million asking price, given their reservations about Palacios' history of injuries.
