Real Madrid eye McTominay and Olise, Chelsea want De Jong

European football clubs continue to be linked with player moves, according to a round-up of reports in the British and European press. Real Madrid are said to be interested in Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay and Bayern Munich's France winger Michael Olise, while Chelsea want Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The information comes from media reports, not official club statements.

Real Madrid's targets

The Spanish club are monitoring contract talks involving 29-year-old Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay at Napoli, and would like to sign him at the end of the season. His former club Manchester United are reportedly unlikely to bring him back, as they are targeting younger players.

Bayern want to extend the contract of 24-year-old France winger Michael Olise, which runs until 2029. He is likely to stay in Germany unless a move to Real materialises, according to the report.

Other rumours

Manchester United have offered 16-year-old attacking midfielder JJ Gabriel an official scholarship contract. If he chooses to leave and move abroad, United could receive only £350,000 for him.

Chelsea are keen on 29-year-old Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong as a belated replacement for Enzo Fernandez, who joined Manchester City on transfer deadline day.

Liverpool hold a £59.5m buyback clause for Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah, 23, but the England international is reluctant to return to Anfield. He has also been linked with Real and Chelsea.

Juventus have doubts about 24-year-old Germany striker Nick Woltemade, who is on loan from Newcastle United, and are considering alternatives, including Monaco and United States forward Folarin Balogun, 25. Newcastle and Everton are both interested in Galatasaray's 27-year-old Brazil midfielder Gabriel Sara, while Hull City are close to signing 18-year-old Kayserispor goalkeeper Deniz Donmezer for £1.5m.
