- Chelsea are looking at Borussia Dortmund pair Karim Adeyemi and Gregor Kobel, reports Sky Sports Deutschland. Adeyemi is now represented by Ali Barat from Epic Sports, who has a positive relationship with the Blues, and the 22-year-old has been on Chelsea's radar for some time. Even so, BVB are reportedly not worried about him leaving anytime soon due to his contract running until 2027. Kobel is being considered for the summer as Chelsea aren't happy with their goalkeeper situation but the 27-year-old is not thinking of leaving.
- Manchester United have made contact to sign Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres but will face competition from Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Barcelona, reports Corriere dello Sport, who add that the 26-year-old will be available for €70 million rather than his €100m clause. The Red Devils hope he will replace Joshua Zirkzee, who is receiving interest from Juventus, Napoli and Internazionale.
- TEAMtalk have reported that Manchester United are progressing with their interest in Girona left-back Miguel Gutiérrez, stating that the Red Devils are in direct contact with the Spanish club to discuss signing the 23-year-old. Girona are aware that Gutierrez wants to leave and won't oppose his departure, even showing a willingness to accept offers under his €35m release clause despite a clause meaning Real Madrid will take half of the fee earned.
- Internazionale and Brighton & Hove Albion are both interested in Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Rocco Reitz, reports Sky Sports Deutschland, with the 22-year-old having a €20m release clause that can be triggered from 2026. An early departure is out of the question as Gladbach want to keep Reitz as the face of the club and to develop him further.
