Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing a £69m bid for Barcelona and Spain forward Dani Olmo, while several Premier League clubs are monitoring defenders. Trent Alexander-Arnold is said to be staying at Real Madrid despite interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, and Manchester United are watching Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde ahead of a possible January departure.

Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven, although a substantial fee would be required. Elsewhere, AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could leave when their contracts expire next June; Bayern are tracking Benfica’s Tomas Araujo; and Barcelona continue to monitor Erling Haaland. Roma may raise Manu Kone’s asking price to £86m, while Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio and Bournemouth loanee Alex Jimenez have also attracted transfer interest.
