- Manchester United have joined Newcastle and Arsenal in the race to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, says The Daily Star. Mbeumo, 25, joined from French club Troyes in 2019 for a club-record £5.9 million but the Cameroon international could double his wages with a move to a bigger club and Brentford could listen to offers at around £40m. He has scored 13 goals in 20 Premier League games so far this season.
- Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior remains on the radar of the Saudi Pro League, reports Relevo. It is reported that the league are prepared to make the 24-year-old the face of their competition should he accept a move there, and they are preparing to offer him a significant contract amid hopes of persuading him to decide against extending his stay at the Bernabéu. He has previously been linked with Al Ahli and has a release clause of €1 billion.

- Liverpool are poised to enter the race for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, reports The Athletic. The Reds are reported to be keeping close tabs on the 23-year-old's situation amid reports he could seal a move away from the Stadio Diego Maradona, with both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United linked with him. The Serie A club would reportedly consider moving him on only if they receive a significant transfer fee of around €80m, and it looks as though the Anfield hierarchy will ensure they're at the front of the queue for a move that would see him join up with his Georgia international compatriot Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is set to arrive on Merseyside in the summer after his loan spell at Valencia.
- Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho says his team's priority is to strengthen their defensive line in this transfer window. "We lost two centre-backs earlier this season," he said. "It's an area that we have become weak. Right now we have two centre-backs for the second part of the season, it's a completely impossible situation to manage. Our main focus is going to be on that."
- Two Premier League wingers have been added to Napoli's shortlist as potential reinforcements this month, reports Nicolo Schira. Liverpool's 27-year-old Italian forward Federico Chiesa and 24-year-old Tottenham Hotspur star Dejan Kulusevski are said to be among consideration by the Serie A club, who are ensuring that they can move quickly to find a successor if they decide to part ways with Kvaratskhelia. Chiesa arrived at Anfield from Juventus in the summer but has struggled to garner regular appearances, while Kulusevski has enjoyed brighter form having contributed to nine goals in 20 Premier League matches for Spurs.
- Barcelona have no money right now, but have made an enquiry to Sporting CP regarding a summer transfer for striker Viktor Gyökeres, reports Sport. The Blaugrana are reported to be lining up a move ahead of Manchester United and Bayern Munich for the 26-year-old, who is expected to stay in the Portuguese Primeira Liga this month following a verbal agreement with the club's hierarchy. It is believed that the LaLiga club are hopeful of lowering the €80m fee by agreeing to lower the clause in the contract of Sporting winger Francisco Trincão, which would see them receive 50% of any future transfer fee.
