Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly monitoring Porto's 22-year-old Portuguese right-back Alberto Costa, though both clubs face competition from Paris St-Germain for his signature.

Meanwhile, Manchester City's situation remains uncertain amid possible sanctions for breaching financial rules. Should the club be relegated from the Premier League, it is expected to demand a high price for striker Erling Haaland rather than let the Norwegian leave cheaply. Several major clubs — including Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona — are already watching City's situation closely in hopes of eventually signing the 26-year-old.

Other gossip

Former Chelsea and Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling, now a free agent, has reportedly been offered to two Ligue 1 clubs in France, but neither showed interest in the 31-year-old Englishman.

Besiktas president Serdal Adali has vowed to sign 27-year-old midfielder Joe Willock from Newcastle in January, claiming the Englishman has already decided to move to Turkey.

Former Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is not expected to return to Premier League management at a lower or mid-table club such as Crystal Palace or Fulham, instead preferring to take charge of a bigger, underachieving side.

Liverpool reportedly retain their interest in Real Madrid and France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, despite the 26-year-old signing a new long-term contract with the Spanish club over the summer.
