FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 21 October, including the latest updates on Riccardo Calafiori, Adrien Truffert and Alex Scott.
Article continues under the videoArsenal would only consider selling Riccardo Calafiori if offered an "extraordinary" fee of more than €100 million, as per CaughtOffside.
The Italy international fielded interest from Real Madrid in the summer, and it is asserted that they remain keen. Calafiori can play at left-back and at centre-back, with the latter an area in which Los Blancos will likely make more signings next year.
However, Arsenal have no intention of entertaining offers for the 24-year-old and have made it clear that it would require a record-breaking fee for a defender to prise him away from the club. Calafiori himself has shown no appetite to leave the Gunners.
Man Utd are long-term admirers of Bournemouth left-back Adrien Truffert, according to The i Paper.
The Red Devils are fully expected to sign a new left-back next year, while the France international is likely to depart Bournemouth. However, there is bound to be plenty of competition for the signing of Truffert.
Man Utd are also poised to revisit a potential deal for Lewis Hall after failing to sign him this year, although his recent Newcastle contract extension could make it tricky to reach an agreement for a reasonable price.
Chelsea will "for sure" make a move for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in 2027, Fabrizio Romano understands.
The England star was the Blues' top target this summer, and his contract with his camp has been maintained. Bournemouth are not actively putting him on the market, but they could be willing to sell in January under the right conditions.
Meanwhile, the chances of Chelsea rekindling their interest in Lamine Camara are slim after Monaco pulled the plug on a deal on Deadline Day. Since then, there has been radio silence between the two clubs, and it is Liverpool who could instead look to sign him.
Eberechi Eze is "growing frustrated" at Arsenal and could look to leave the club, TEAMtalk claims.
The 28-year-old has failed to nail down a regular starting spot since his arrival last year, and there is no clear pathway for Eze to get regular minutes in Arsenal's side unless there is an injury crisis. Even on the left wing, he is merely seen as a stopgap.
With Arsenal planning to sign a marquee player for that position next year, Eze may be forced to leave his boyhood club again in order to have a role befitting his quality elsewhere.
The same outlet also writes that Barcelona have no intention of selling Xavi Espart.
Earlier this week, it was claimed that the 19-year-old was attracting Premier League attention following his breakthrough in Barcelona's first team, with Arsenal and Tottenham among the sides associated with him.
It is now asserted that there really is Premier League interest, with Chelsea also keeping tabs on Espart. However, Barcelona do not wish to sell, and the player also has no reason to leave the club after establishing himself as a starter in LaLiga.
