Liam Rosenior is eager to sign a defender and Chelsea have their eye on Jeremy Jacquet of Rennes. The Ligue 1 club want around 44m for the 20-year-old centre-back, a fee Chelsea may be willing to pay with Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo injured. The Blues could also consider selling skipper Enzo Fernandez, who is a target for Real Madrid. There may be a shortage of centre-backs at Internazionale soon.

The 37-year-old centre-forward has accepted a reduced role this season, with Hansi Flick counting on Ferran Torres more and more, but has continued to contribute in a significant way, creating a quandary for the club. The Blaugrana see that his performances remain good, that he continues to score goals and has accepted that he is no longer an undisputed starter.

West Ham United are weighing up the possibility of signing Eric Dier after the experienced defender was offered to the club, according to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg. While talks are not advanced at this stage, the opportunity is being viewed internally as one worth exploring, especially given West Ham's ongoing search for defensive reinforcements for the second half of the 2025/26 season.

West Ham have been watching Rio Ave's 26-year-old Brazilian forward Clayton, who is joint top scorer in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. (Teamtalk), external Roma have officially opened negotiations to sign Netherlands forward Joshua Zirkzee, 24, from Manchester United on loan with an obligation to buy for 30m. (Gazzetta dello Sport - in Italian), external Former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi is a target for Sunderland, who have bid 21.4m for the France international, 26, who plays for Lazio.

However, doubts persist over his complete adaptability in Hansi Flick's setup due to concerns about his off-the-ball work and pressing intensity, while his salary could also become an issue in case of a permanent move. As such, the journalist states that there are voices within the club not convinced about activating the €30 million buy option for Rashford.

Inter and AC Milan will contest Sunday's derby with an interesting sub-plot: both will almost certainly say goodbye to their starting goalkeepers next summer. As Calciomercato.com write, Yann Sommer and Mike Maignan will be poles apart at San Siro in two days, but they might just reach the same finish line at the same time. Both have contracts expiring next June and are far from reaching an agreement over a renewal.

A common thread unites AC Milan and Inter with Sunday's derby approaching: both are in the market for a new goalkeeper. As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report this morning, barring any sensational surprises Milan will be without Mike Maignan and Inter will be without Yann Sommer. Both are on contracts that expire next June, with no signs of a renewal. Negotiations over Maignan's extension have been stalled for some time.

Palace still want Mateta to extend his contract. It's going to take some judgement on Palace's end to assess how they think the discussions are going, and then to plan accordingly. If it starts becoming clear that he's not going to sign, they want to maximise the fee they're going to get. I don't think they'll let it get to the same situation with Guehi where if they don't take the offer he's going to leave on a free, they'll sell him before that.
