Juventus are considering a move for AS Monaco and USMNT striker Folarin Balogun, with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting a €50 million offer would be required. The Bianconeri see the 25-year-old as an alternative to Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani. Meanwhile, Arsenal could include Viktor Gyökeres in a player-exchange for Atletico Madrid forward Julián Álvarez, though the Gunners have yet to advance talks for the €150 million-rated striker, who prefers Barcelona.

Barcelona are monitoring Tottenham captain Cristian Romero, whose representatives have signaled his desire to leave. AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim has added Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui to his shortlist as a potential replacement for Pervis Estupiñán. Barcelona also explore Hoffenheim's Fisnik Asllani, who has a €29 million release clause, and free agent Dusan Vlahovic, though salary demands may push him to Besiktas.

In completed deals, Manchester United triggered Youri Tielemans' £35 million release clause to sign him from Aston Villa. London City Lionesses secured former Lyon striker Kadidiatou Diani for £500,000. Marseille's Mason Greenwood nears a Fenerbahçe move after Atlético Madrid withdrew interest.
