Real Madrid are tracking Erling Haaland as Manchester City navigate life after Pep Guardiola, according to The Sun. Meanwhile, Atalanta left midfielder Ederson out of their starting XI against Fiorentina as negotiations over his proposed £38.8m move to Manchester United continue, per the Daily Mail. RB Leipzig will demand over €100m for 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande, who has 23 goals this season.

Madrid are also set to pursue Enzo Fernandez, with Manchester City interested as well, though that move depends on Rodri's future, the Independent reports. Arijon Ibrahimovic, a Bayern Munich youngster, has caught the eye of Villa, Brighton, Brentford, Fulham, and Crystal Palace after an impressive loan spell with Heidenheim. Robbie Keane stepped down as Ferencvaros manager and is reportedly in the running for the top job at Celtic.

The transfer market chatter shows clubs positioning for post-Pep transitions and rebuilding phases. Rafa Benitez was sacked as Panathinaikos boss after seven months. Iran will base their World Cup squad in Tijuana after FIFA approved their request to move training from Arizona. The window is shaping up as a busy one across Europe.
