As the January 2026 transfer window rapidly approaches, a fierce battle is reportedly brewing among Europe’s elite clubs for the signature of Juventus’ prolific Serbian striker, Dusan Vlahovic. Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Atlético Madrid are among the prominent teams closely monitoring the 25-year-old’s evolving situation in Turin, according to recent reports. The forward’s contractual predicament at the Allianz Stadium is understood to be a primary driver of this widespread interest, with his current deal set to enter its final six months, allowing him to discuss pre-contract agreements with clubs outside of Serie A.
Vlahovic’s current contract with Juventus sees him earning a significant €12 million per season. However, sources close to the club, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, indicate that the Bianconeri are unwilling to maintain this salary structure in a new deal. Juventus is reportedly open to extending Vlahovic’s stay but only on a reduced salary, a stance that has created an impasse in negotiations. This situation, coupled with the player’s consistent goal-scoring record since his high-profile move from Fiorentina, has alerted some of Europe’s wealthiest and most ambitious clubs. For Juventus, currently navigating a challenging Serie A campaign and striving for Champions League qualification, securing a favourable resolution—either through a contract extension on new terms or a profitable transfer fee—will be crucial for their financial stability and squad planning.
Barcelona’s interest in Vlahovic aligns with their long-term strategy to bolster their attacking options, potentially viewing him as a younger successor or complement to the aging Robert Lewandowski. Bayern Munich, perpetually seeking to maintain their dominance with top-tier talent, could see Vlahovic as a valuable addition to their formidable attack. Manchester United, under the stewardship of Ruben Amorim—who has completed his first year as manager, as discussed by Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens—are reportedly keen to strengthen their central attacking options as they continue their rebuilding phase. Tottenham Hotspur and Atlético Madrid, both aiming to compete at the highest level domestically and in Europe, are also keen observers, looking for a striker who can provide a consistent supply of goals. The prospect of signing a player of Vlahovic’s calibre, especially if his contract situation allows for a reduced transfer fee or even a pre-contract agreement, presents a financially attractive opportunity for these clubs.
Concurrently, Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly expanding its search for offensive reinforcements, with Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo emerging as a significant target. Football Insider suggests that Spurs view the 24-year-old Japanese international as a viable alternative to Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, as they continue to explore options to fortify their right flank. Kubo, who has registered one goal in ten LaLiga appearances this season, has previously drawn interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool. His contract with Real Sociedad includes a €60 million release clause, a figure Tottenham would need to activate to secure his services. This move would represent a substantial investment for the North London club, aiming to add pace, technical ability, and creativity to their wide areas. Real Sociedad, currently performing strongly in LaLiga, would be reluctant to lose a key player but may be compelled if the release clause is met.

Manchester United’s transfer ambitions extend beyond the striking department, with The Mirror reporting plans for two marquee midfield signings in the upcoming transfer windows. Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, 23, is understood to be a top priority on their shortlist, with a potential transfer fee expected to be less than £100 million. Anderson’s energetic performances and versatility have reportedly impressed the United scouting network. Additionally, the Red Devils maintain a keen interest in Brighton & Hove Albion’s 21-year-old sensation, Carlos Baleba. However, Brighton, known for their shrewd transfer dealings, would demand a fee of at least £100 million for the highly-rated midfielder, reflecting his potential and impact. These midfield targets suggest a strategic focus under Amorim to inject youth, dynamism, and control into the heart of United’s team, enhancing their competitive edge in the Premier League and European competitions.
Further south, a race is heating up for Olympiakos’ promising young midfielder, Christos Mouzakitis. According to transfer specialist Nicolo Schira, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Manchester United are leading the pursuit for the 18-year-old Greek international. Napoli is also said to be on the radar for Mouzakitis, who has already earned seven senior international caps for Greece, underscoring his rapid development and potential. Olympiakos is reportedly seeking a transfer fee of around €30 million to part ways with their prized asset. This interest from multiple Premier League clubs, along with a Serie A contender, highlights the growing trend of top European sides investing in burgeoning talents with significant resale value and long-term potential.
In the striking market, Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy is reportedly exploring options for a move away from the Bundesliga club. TEAMtalk indicates that Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United could all be offered the opportunity to sign the 29-year-old striker, owing to a release clause in his contract. For Manchester United, however, any move for Guirassy would reportedly hinge on how such an addition might impact the playing time and development of their young forward Benjamin Sesko. Guirassy’s recent prolific form has made him a highly attractive prospect. Concurrently, Nicolo Schira reports that a Saudi Arabian club is "ready" to table a lucrative three-year contract offer worth €20 million per year for the Guinean international, presenting a significant financial alternative to European football.
Beyond these primary narratives, several other notable transfer developments are circulating across Europe. Chelsea is reportedly considering a late swoop to secure a loan move for Real Madrid’s highly touted young striker Endrick, who is understood to be close to joining Lyon, as per Cadena Ser. This move, if materialised, would be a strategic play by Chelsea to secure future talent amidst fierce competition.
In defense, Real Madrid and Manchester City are both keeping tabs on Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown, according to Bild. This indicates an ongoing search by two of Europe’s most dominant clubs for emerging defensive talents. Similarly, Newcastle United are eyeing a move for Celta Vigo defender Oscar Mingueza, as reported by Football Insider, signalling their intent to strengthen their backline.
Barcelona’s long-term striking plans could involve Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane, but only if they opt against renewing the contract of their veteran forward Robert Lewandowski, as suggested by Sport. This illustrates the complex interplay of contractual situations and strategic decisions at the Catalan club.
Meanwhile, in Italy, AC Milan is reportedly close to agreeing a new three-year contract with their English centre-back Fikayo Tomori, as confirmed by Nicolo Schira, ensuring stability in their defense. Their Serie A rivals, Inter Milan, are reportedly interested in a €10 million deal for Genoa wing-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy, 21, who arrived from Arsenal in 2024. Inter also retains interest in Norton-Cuffy’s Genoa teammate, midfielder Morten Frendrup, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, suggesting a double swoop to bolster their squad. AC Milan striker Santiago Gimenez has also attracted attention, with Sunderland and Brentford both making enquiries, per Calciomercato, potentially offering him a route to the Premier League.
Across the Premier League, West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo is reportedly keen to bring Fulham winger Adama Traore to the London Stadium, as Football Insider suggests. Crystal Palace and West Ham are also among the teams interested in Bayern Munich right-back Sacha Boey, according to Ekrem Konur, indicating a pursuit of defensive reinforcement.
Arsenal’s transfer activity also includes an interest in Feyenoord midfielder Quentin Timber, the twin brother of Gunners defender Jurrien Timber, as reported by Caught Offside. This comes as Arsenal faces potential defensive concerns, with Julien Laurens remarking that losing Gabriel Magalhães is "the last thing Arsenal want" after the Brazilian defender was taken off during a recent match against Senegal.
The influence of the Saudi Pro League continues to be felt in the transfer market, with Al Ahli reportedly having no plans to part ways with striker Ivan Toney in January, as reported by Goal, demonstrating their commitment to retaining key players. Finally, Bayern Munich is planning to offer a new contract to their attacking midfielder Lennart Karl, according to Fabrizio Romano, focusing on securing the future of their promising talents. The landscape of European football continues to evolve with these significant transfer narratives ahead of the winter window.
