Trending rumors

- Barcelona are keeping tabs on the situation of Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, according to talkSPORT. The Blaugrana are said to have identified the 33-year-old as a potential alternative signing to Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez, and with his contract at the Allianz Arena set to expire in the summer of 2027, they could step up their interest if he doesn't sign new terms. Barca have remained in the market for a striker as they continue to search for a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who joined Chicago Fire in the summer.

- Real Madrid and Barcelona are exploring a move for Manchester City forward Erling Haaland, TEAMtalk reports. It is reported that the two LaLiga sides believe there could be an opportunity to land the 25-year-old next summer, when they feel he could be willing to consider his future in the season before the 2028 European Championship. Los Blancos are long-term admirers of Haaland, who hasn't indicated a desire to leave the Etihad Stadium.

- Barcelona are set to begin talks with forward Raphinha over a new contract, according to Diario Sport. It is believed that the 29-year-old, who represents himself, met with sporting director Deco on Tuesday afternoon to discuss official talks commencing soon, and he is reportedly keen to stay put at the Camp Nou. Raphinha has directly contributed to 11 goals in six matches across all competitions this season, including two assists in Sunday's 4-2 La Liga win over Levante.

- Manchester United have reignited their interest in Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, the Daily Mail reports. The Premier League club are said to have made contact with the 24-year-old's representatives regarding a potential deal, after they previously had two offers of around £50 million turned down. The Red Devils want to reinforce their defense as they look for long term replacements for both Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire, and they could consider a potential player-exchange deal should the Toffees be open to discussing a move.

- Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a new approach for Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, according to TEAMtalk. Spurs remain hopeful of landing the 26-year-old after failing to get a move over the line in 2025, with belief that they could take advantage of his contract situation. Gibbs-White will enter the final year of his deal next summer, but Forest are expected to propose an extension to ensure they don't lose another key midfielder following the departure of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City.
