Erling Haaland’s potential departure from Manchester City is making headlines as the prolific striker has expressed his desire to move on from the club.
Several European giants, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain, are already preparing offers to secure his services in the summer of 2025.
Haaland, who has a release clause that would make him available for around €120 million (£101.3m), is expected to spark a bidding war among the top clubs in Europe, all eager to bring the Norwegian international into their ranks. (El Nacional – Spain)
In contrast, Real Madrid seems to be cooling their interest in Manchester City’s midfield maestro, Rodri.
Although the Spanish side had previously been linked with a move for the 28-year-old, they now believe he may be too expensive for his age, with Manchester City valuing him at €100 million (£84.4m).
Real Madrid would only pursue the signing if City were forced into a fire sale due to financial sanctions from the ongoing Premier League investigation into their finances. (Defensa Central – Spain)
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is reportedly eager to tie down their young star Jamal Musiala to a new contract, despite recognizing the difficulties in coming to an agreement with the 21-year-old midfielder.
Musiala has been on the radar of several top European clubs, including Manchester City, who are keen to sign him, but Bayern is determined to keep hold of one of their most promising talents. (SPORT1 – Germany)
Over at Liverpool, rumors of the club targeting Sevilla’s centre-back Loic Bade as a potential replacement for Virgil van Dijk appear to be unfounded.
Reports suggest that Liverpool are unlikely to make a move for Bade despite earlier links to the French defender. (Matteo Moretto)
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were also active in the transfer market over the summer, both making unsuccessful inquiries about Barcelona’s young midfielder Fermin Lopez.

Karim Adeyemi, Borussia Dortmund’s forward, could be on the move soon as the German side is reportedly ready to cash in on the 21-year-old.
Premier League giants Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle United are all said to be lining up substantial offers for the German international, who has impressed with his performances in the Bundesliga. (Fichajes – Spain)
Arsenal, meanwhile, are preparing to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window, with Lille’s Jonathan David emerging as their primary target.
The Gunners are also keeping a close eye on Ajax’s Brian Brobbey as a potential alternative. (CaughtOffside)
Inter Milan is planning an early approach for Jonathan David in January, hoping to secure a pre-contract agreement that would allow them to sign the Canadian striker on a free transfer when his contract expires next summer. (Calciomercato – Italy)
Elsewhere, Premier League clubs Aston Villa and West Ham United are both keen to sign Besiktas midfielder Ernest Muci during the January window.

Lastly, Marc Guehi, currently at Crystal Palace, is expected to reject any potential return to his former club Chelsea next summer.
The England international believes he could attract offers from more appealing clubs, making it unlikely that he will consider a return to Stamford Bridge. (90min)
