According to a report from Bild (as captured by Get German Football News), Real Madrid could be a major contender for Borussia Dortmund center-back Nico Schlotterbeck. Of course, Bayern Munich has been closely linked to Schlotterbeck as well, which could make for a transfer battle. Real Madrid could even attempt to lower the requested fee for the center-back by proposing a swap deal ( Author's Note: You know how much we love rumored swap deals here):
I don't think it's for me, they fight and they battle because they want to be a good team. They fight for each other, for the club, the staff, and the fans most importantly. I liked the character and mentality in team today, there is so much to improve but you need to have that in the Premier League, especially away from home.
Then going to Spurs, I look at it in the sense of you buy a new car, and I felt like I was just in a garage for four years, where I wasn't used. Now it's like I'm fresh (and) with Leeds. The last three years have been non-stop, but I feel fresh. It's like I'm catching up on things I missed through that period.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Ajax attacker Mika Godts, as per TEAMtalk. The 20-year-old has done quite well for Ajax this season, and he has 15 goal contributions in all competitions.

Marmoush, 26, is admired by Spurs for his flexibility across the front line. Capable of operating both out wide and through the middle, he offers the kind of tactical adaptability Tottenham are keen to introduce as they look to improve consistency in the final third. His ability to carry the ball at speed, link play between midfield and attack, and contribute goals has long caught the eye of recruitment staff across Europe.

Liverpool's £446 million spending spree has massively backfired, but for one transfer, Hugo Ekitike. The Frenchman has scored four goals in his past two outings and looks to be his side's only source of goals recently. For reference, Ekitike is the first Liverpool player to reach 10 goals before Mohamed Salah since Sadio Mane during the 2019-20 season. His relentless drive and resourcefulness on the pitch have been a breath of fresh air for Liverpool fans,
Guglielmo Vicario has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur in recent months. The Italian has done a reasonably good job since joining the London club, but he has been criticised for his inconsistencies. He has particularly struggled to deal with aerial balls during his time at the club. According to L'Interista, Inter Milan are now interested in securing his signature, and they view him as the ideal replacement for Yann Sommer.
According to Fichajes in the summer, Spurs were plotting a move for Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo that could have cost up to 70m. That never materialised, and the north London club may be thankful it didn't, as the same Spanish outlet are now claiming the Japan international could be available for as little as 40m, just over half his potential summer value.
