Arsenal are keeping a close watch on Como forward Nico Paz as they consider a potential move for the 22-year-old Argentina international. However, any pursuit faces a significant hurdle, as Real Madrid retain a buy-back clause set at 80 million euros (£68.7m).
In Serie A news, both Liverpool and Aston Villa are tracking Fiorentina midfielder Cher Ndour. The 22-year-old Italian has attracted interest from multiple top clubs as the transfer window progresses.
Meanwhile, Sunderland remain determined to sign Geny Catamo from Sporting. Despite failing to secure the services of the 25-year-old Mozambique winger during the summer, the Black Cats insist they will not abandon their efforts to bring him to the Stadium of Light.
At Stamford Bridge, Monaco are assessing the value of Lamine Camara following the collapse of a deal on deadline day. The French club believes the 22-year-old Senegal midfielder is worth 70 million euros (£60.1m) and is prepared to reject lower offers in January.
Elsewhere, Lukas Nmecha is expected to leave Leeds United when his contract expires at the end of the season. The 25-year-old German forward has indicated he is seeking regular playing time and is unhappy with his current situation.
Celtic are also monitoring the transfer market, with reports suggesting they are interested in Liverpool left-back Luke Chambers. The 22-year-old English defender could be on the radar for a potential move in the winter window.
On the free agent front, Wilfried Zaha has been offered to Malaga. The 33-year-old Ivory Coast winger recently departed Galatasaray after two loan spells with MLS side Charlotte FC.
At Barcelona, Raphinha is being considered for a contract extension that would keep him at the club until 2030, despite his current deal running through 2028. Additionally, Barca have finalized an extension for teenage forward Hamza Abdelkarim until 2030, attaching a release clause of 150 million euros (£128.7m).
Finally, Arsenal and Chelsea are competing for the signature of 15-year-old Norwegian winger Gabriel Rajkovic from Valerenga, with both Premier League clubs compiling detailed scouting dossiers.
Why is everyone fixated on these young stars while established veterans like Zaha are just floating around? Let’s get some actual transfers.
Cher Ndour to Villa or Liverpool? I’d take him at either. Solid defensive midfield depth is exactly what they need right now.
Real Madrid holding that buy-back clause for Paz is brutal. Arsenal fans need to brace for heartbreak here.
