Trending rumors

- Manchester City and Liverpool are both considering a move for Real Sociedad right-back Jon Aramburu, TEAMtalk reports. The Venezuela international has been one of the defensive stars of the season in LaLiga and his form has attracted interest from a number of clubs across Europe. The 24-year-old has been particularly impressive in one-vs.-one situations while also making an impact further forward, while his ability to play on the left as well as the right makes him an attractive and versatile proposition. Aramburu's contract, which runs until 2030, has a release clause of around £50 million. 

- Arsenal are monitoring striker Endrick's situation at Real Madrid with a view to making a move in January, according to TEAMtalk. The 20-year-old Brazil international's first appearance this season came as a late substitute in Tuesday's 3-2 win at Elche, and he is concerned about his role both now and in the long term. There is a growing belief among a number of clubs -- including Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United -- that he could be available in 2027. Endrick doesn't want to leave, and Madrid are reluctant to part with a player in whom they have invested heavily, but the situation is complicated because of the amount of competition around him.

- Liverpool are preparing to receive bids for midfielder Florian Wirtz in January, including from Bayern Munich, though the club are reluctant to part with the 23-year-old, according to AS. Wirtz has struggled to reach his peak form on a consistent basis since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen and is without a goal in his last 12 competitive matches for club and country. As a result, clubs across Europe believe there's a chance they could tempt him away from Anfield, but Liverpool are likely to reject any advances. Reds boss Andoni Iraola still sees the Germany midfielder as a key part of his plans.

- Chelsea fear that defender Josh Acheampong could leave, AS reports. The Blues are alarmed at the amount of interest in the 20-year-old and are worried he could depart in January, despite having been given a starting role for the club, and assurances that he is part of their long-term plans by boss Xabi Alonso. The centre-back has started four games, but has been part of a defence that has conceded two goals or more a game in 2026-27.

- Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham is close to extending his contract at Real Madrid until 2032, according to Nicolò Schira. The England star's existing contract runs until 2029, but Los Blancos are keen to secure the long-term future of a player they consider one of the cornerstones of the club. The 23 year old has scored two goals and added two assists under new boss José Mourinho this season, and the hope is that by offering him an extension early, they can avoid a protracted contract situation.
