- Italian reports indicate Juventus are pursuing Jean‑Philippe Mateta and Daniel Maldini, casting doubt on any Chiesa-related deal taking shape now.
- Liverpool have not made a first‑team signing this month, with confirmed business limited to Mor Talla Ndiaye arriving and James Norris departing.
- Marc Guehi is reported to be set for Manchester City in a £30m move expected to be announced today, after previous Liverpool interest faded.
