Kylian Mbappé's future at Real Madrid has been cast into doubt, according to L'Equipe. The 27-year-old was injured while playing for France during the international break, but posted clips on social media of himself cycling in Switzerland last week, and he was reportedly reprimanded by Madrid boss Jose Mourinho. With three years left on his contract and no major trophy in the last two seasons, Mbappé is reported to be considering his options. Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with him in the past, but Madrid would not consider offers below €200 million.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are all tracking Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder Luca Williams-Barnett, reports The Sun. The England U18 international has made just three senior appearances for Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, but the club are eager to extend the 18-year-old's contract beyond 2028. Manager Roberto De Zerbi has described him as a "precious diamond."
Arsenal are preparing a fresh January bid for Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, according to TEAMtalk. The Gunners are willing to include Viktor Gyökeres or Noni Madueke in any deal, and Álvarez is now seriously considering a move to the Emirates after previously prioritizing Barcelona. Liverpool have also joined Manchester United in the race for Bournemouth left back Adrien Truffert, with Bournemouth demanding around £60 million.
Elsewhere, Newcastle United are emerging as favorites to sign Lyon midfielder Tyler Morton next summer, while Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah could leave amid interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid. Liverpool retain a €70 million clause to re-sign the England international, valid until June 2027.
