AC Milan are facing a crucial decision as uncertainty grows around the future of Mike Maignan, with several European clubs closely monitoring his situation. According to Calciomercato, clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Juventus are all keeping a close watch as the French international enters the final six months of his contract at AC Milan. Maignan, now 30, has been one of Milan's most important players since arriving from Lille, establishing himself as one of Europe's elite goalkeepers.
Chelsea are among a growing list of clubs monitoring the situation of James McAtee, with the Blues considering a potential move for the Nottingham Forest playmaker amid concerns over his limited game time. According to Daily Mail, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is a long-standing admirer of the 23-year-old, having previously worked closely with him during his time at Manchester City.
Tottenham Hotspur's long-term defensive planning has been thrust into the spotlight after highly rated youngster Luka Vuskovic unexpectedly became the subject of intense interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs ahead of the winter transfer window. The 18-year-old centre-back, currently gaining valuable experience on loan at Hamburger SV, has caught the eye with a series of composed and authoritative performances in Germany, prompting enquiries from the Bundesliga's elite.
For Juventus, the appeal is clear. The Bianconeri are keen to add balance to their defensive unit and have prioritised the signing of a left-footed central defender who can operate comfortably in a high line and build play from the back. Senesi's profile fits that brief well. Strong in duels, composed in possession, and experienced at both domestic and international level, he is seen as a player who could slot into Serie A seamlessly.
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. He has the potential to develop into a quality performer for the North London club, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. They need to add more quality and depth to the attacking unit.
Atalanta's teenage centre-back Honest Ahanor has rapidly emerged as one of the most coveted young defenders in European football, following an impressive start to life in Bergamo after his summer move from Genoa. Still only 17, Ahanor has defied expectations with a level of maturity and authority that belies his age, drawing widespread admiration. Chelsea are widely regarded as one of the most aggressive suitors, with reports suggesting the Blues could be prepared to test Atalanta's resolve with a bid in the region of 60 million,
The 18-year-old has rapidly emerged as a highly coveted talent across Europe, drawing interest not only from City but also from Roma, Monaco and several Bundesliga clubs. Detourbet's rise has been closely tracked by scouts this season, with the teenage striker impressing through his movement, composure in front of goal, and physical maturity beyond his years. Despite his age, he has already shown an ability to compete against senior opposition, prompting clubs to act early in order to secure his long-term future.
It's easy to see why. He's 6-foot-1 with a lean build, but strides forward with power and has a remarkable ability to quicken his step just enough to nip in and intercept a pass. He ranks in the 85th percentile in Ligue 1 for dribblers tackled, plus the 78th and 92nd percentiles for progressive passes and successful take-ons, respectively. This is a player who can halt opponents' attacks, then start his own in seconds.
He's [Salah] obviously really upset he's not playing, which I respect. A couple of lines about throwing people under the bus - wrong. [You] need to reverse a little bit away from that, to deal with that with the manager. This needs Virgil van Dijk to go, 'How are we sorting this out for the benefit of not the club, or the team, but the fans?'
First of all, Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions are a little bit confident that they will get the centre-half to sign a new contract. However, failing that, there are two clubs that interest Upamecano - otherwise, no Premier League clubs are on the list - and these are Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Both outfits are interested in the 27-year-old because he's currently on track to be a free agent next year.
Senegalese forward Iliman Ndiaye is becoming one of the hottest properties in European football following his explosive start to the season. According to a report from Footmercato, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool have all made preliminary contact to express their interest in the 25-year-old, who has been in scintillating form since the start of the campaign. Ndiaye has registered four goals and one assist in 12 appearances, playing a pivotal role
According to a report from TMW, Mitongo is one of the most promising young strikers on the Belgian scene. Born in 2008 and currently in the Standard Liège youth academy, he's a striker who won't turn 18 until next January, but he's already in the sights of several top European clubs.
"I'm going to be completely honest. It really shook me up. We're talking about a global giant, Bayern Munich, where a coach with that kind of history, Kompany, calls me. And we had a conversation there. He was super polite to me, said he always really liked my football, and this was at 11pm, a little after 11. Whether I wanted to or not, it really affected me."
Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi has become a player in demand, with Sky Sports Deutschland reporting that his agent, super-agent Jorge Mendes, has held discussions with several top European clubs, including Manchester United. While this does not mean a departure is imminent, it signals a growing uncertainty surrounding Adeyemi's long-term future at the Westfalenstadion. Adeyemi, now 23, is locked into a Dortmund contract that runs until 2027.
Bayern Munich and Germany winger Serge Gnabry has turned in strong performance after strong performance so far in 2025/26, as he looks ahead to next summer's Men's World Cup - as well as his own impending free agency. That free agency may never arrive, though, if he re-ups with his current club. And that is becoming a more concrete possibility, according to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg. As captured by @iMiaSanMia_GER:
The likes of Real Madrid and Ajax had been linked with a move for the former Eintracht Frankfurt youth player and Karl was running down his contract. He had less than 12 months on his contract when, finally, he put pen to paper just before the 2025/26 season and pledged his short term future to Bayern.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton, and Aston Villa are monitoring his progress. Tottenham are looking to add more technical ability and creativity to the side. They believe that the Belgian could prove to be a useful acquisition for them. He has excellent technique and vision. He will help create opportunities in the final third and allow Spurs to break down deep defensive units. De Cat has 10 goal contributions this season.
The French midfielder arrived at Modena from Belgium but had long been followed by Italian clubs, particularly when he played for French side Clermont Foot. The Roman newspaper states that two years ago Juventus had tried to sign him for their Next Gen team, but his fate took a different path. Milan - presumably through Geoffrey Moncada, who is always attentive to talent in France - had also inquired about him, but never materialised.
And the 21-year-old has made best use of his second season at the club, taking his game up a level, scoring 13 goals in 13 games and adding 3 goals in 4 games in the Europa League. Perhaps this is why, according to Danish news site bold (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), the German champions still have an eye on him:
