Real Madrid are pushing for Kenan Yildiz with Arsenal and Bayern Munich also looking at the Juventus winger, reports Corriere dello Sport. Juve have been demanding at least €100 million for the 21-year-old for a year, but Madrid are reigniting their interest in him with the view to a move in the summer. They would want to pit him and Vinícius Júnior against each other, while Arsenal see the Turkiye international as the answer to their lack of options on the left and Bayern have been watching him from afar since his departure.
AC Milan are planning to make another attempt to sign Real Madrid striker Endrick after being unable to bring him in during the summer, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport. Madrid boss Jose Mourinho had initially refused to let the 20-year-old leave, but he has made just one substitute appearance this season that lasted four minutes. Milan's main competition from within Italy for the Brazil international is Roma, while Aston Villa were also unsuccessful in their efforts to bring him in last summer.
Barcelona are willing to let Alejandro Balde leave on loan in January with Manchester United among the clubs interested in the left-back, according to TEAMtalk. The 22-year-old has fallen down the pecking order in Hansi Flick's squad and has only got onto the pitch once so far this season, playing the last 12 minutes in a 7-2 win over Racing Santander. The Spaniard's camp and intermediaries are already working hard to find a solution for him, while the Blaugrana could look to bring in a new left-back in 2027.
Liverpool center back Giovanni Leoni is the latest name La Gazzetta dello Sport have linked with Juventus, as I Bianconeri aim to introduce young Italian talent to their squad. The Serie A side have turned their attention away from the likes of Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori and Chelsea's Marco Palestra, who are now seen as unattainable, and had already made enquiries about a loan for Leoni in recent months. Liverpool haven't opened the door to the 19-year-old leaving, but Juventus aren't giving up on him.
Barcelona are interested in 18-year-old FC Twente center back Ruud Nijstad, reports transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. They are monitoring the young Dutchman, having already made contact about him in August but ultimately being told that a transfer wasn't possible as Twente wanted him to be a key player for them. More clubs are showing an interest in Nijstad and have started travelling to scout him.
Real Madrid are among the clubs who could move to sign Manchester United attacker JJ Gabriel, according to Spanish newspaper AS. Various clubs across Europe are looking at the 15-year-old after it was made clear that he wants to leave the Red Devils and requested a transfer. Bayern Munich have emerged as major rivals for his signature and Barcelona have gained momentum in recent days. Man United have leaked that they will take legal action against any club that negotiates with Gabriel.
