- Manchester United are keen on Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite amid plans to make big changes to their defense in the upcoming transfer windows, according to Football Insider. United are among the frontrunners for the 24-year-old, and have remained interested since they had an offer worth £45 million turned down for him in 2024. Liverpool are also interested in his signature, but the Toffees could be reluctant to let him join a local rival.

- Brighton are confident that Real Madrid have no clause to sign midfielder Chema Andrés in the future, TEAMtalk reports. Madrid have recently been linked with interest in the 21-year-old, who spent his youth career at the club before a one-year spell at VfB Stuttgart led to a £15 million move to Brighton last summer. He has previously stated that it would be an "honor" to return to the Bernabéu.

- Paris Saint-Germain have entered the race for Manchester United forward J.J. Gabriel, according to Diario AS. PSG are the latest team to show interest in the 16-year-old, but reports have indicated that Real Madrid remain the favourites to secure his signature. A final decision is yet to be made on his future as discussions continue between his representatives and clubs in Europe.

- Chelsea and Manchester City are interested in Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi, according to TEAMtalk. Both teams are said to have sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old on Sunday, when he scored a hat trick in the 3-2 league win over Sint-Truidense to take his tally to 12 goals in 14 appearances across all competitions. He is viewed as a potential long-term Erling Haaland replacement by City, while Chelsea are keen to acquire a backup option for João Pedro.

- Inter Milan are in contract talks with wing back Federico Dimarco, Gazzetta dello Sport reports. An agreement has been reached on a two-year extension that would keep the 28-year-old at the San Siro until the summer of 2028, but there is still some distance regarding a salary, with the Serie A club not currently prepared to meet his demands of a deal worth €7.5 million-per-season.
