Lucas has made it clear that, for personal and family reasons, he wishes to return home to Brazil and make a fresh start after being cleared in July 2025 of FA misconduct charges that took two years to be resolved - a situation that caused him significant mental strain. Despite the club doing everything possible to persuade Lucas to stay, he has remained adamant that his wish is to leave.

Arsenal are reportedly up against Bayern Munich for the potential transfer of highly-rated Serbian wonderkid Vasilije Kostov, who has drawn comparisons with Barcelona's Pedri. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has already made 26 first-team appearances for Red Star Belgrade and has won cap for Serbia's senior national team. According to the Sun, Arsenal are now tracking Kostov after his impressive contribution of six goals and five assists for Red Star Belgrade.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, Milan want least €33m to sell Nkunku. This is not a random figure: the amount that would allow them to avoid a capital loss after paying €37m plus bonuses to sign him from Chelsea in the summer. At the moment, Nkunku is also showing no willingness to leave Milan after just six months, especially now that he's managed to score a brace in his last league appearance against Hellas Verona, his first goals in Serie A.

Yeah, he's been linked with the Premier League for a number of years now. He's a top player, Ederson, there's no getting anywhere from that. So he has got the ability, I think, to go to the Premier League and be a success. It does look like Liverpool are in need of a bit of physicality and energy in that midfield and in the team in general.

Crystal Palace are reportedly showing an interest in a potential transfer move for Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock this January. The 26-year-old started brightly when he first joined the Magpies from Arsenal, but he's now fallen down the pecking order in Eddie Howe's squad, and that's put his future in some doubt. It seems Newcastle could now be prepared to let Willock go as long as they look to recoup the 21m they paid for him, according to the Telegraph.

Real Madrid will have to break the bank and fork out 150 million to sign Arsenal mainstay Declan Rice. Declan Rice seems to have taken his game to the next level since joining Arsenal in the summer of 2023. Rice's consistent performances for the North London club haven't gone unnoticed. Multiple top clubs would love to have the English international in their squad.

Aston Villa have reportedly set an asking price of 80m for the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain to sign Morgan Rogers. The England international is fast becoming one of the most sought-after talents in Europe at the moment, having been a star performer for Villa in recent times. Rogers hit double figures for goals and assists last season, picking up the PFA Young Player of the Year award in the process.

Leicester City have received a fee of around 3.5 million for sending the player on loan, and the German outfit have an option to make the move permanent for a fee of around 18.5 million. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay up in the coming months. There is no doubt that the Moroccan is a quality player with a bright future, and he could develop into a star for the German outfit. They have the finances to get the deal across the line, and it would not be a surprise if they decided to pay the buyout for the player.

Liverpool may reportedly face a struggle to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton as Real Madrid are ready to go all out for his signature. The England international now seems to be emerging as Real's top target in the middle of the park, with manager Xabi Alonso eager to bring in that profile of player. This follows Madrid being beaten by Arsenal to the signing of Martin Zubimendi in the summer, according to AS, as cited and translated by Sport Witness.

He has started this season in impressive form as well, scoring six goals in seven league matches. Alvarez was linked with Liverpool during the summer window as well. Liverpool move for Julian Alvarez would be surprising Alvarez could prove to be an excellent addition for Liverpool, and a report from Fichajes claims that they will have to pay over 100 million in order to get the deal done.

Nicolas Jackson is on the verge of joining Bayern Munich from Chelsea on the final day of the summer transfer window, according to The Telegraph . Bayern, who won the Bundesliga title last season, have agreed to pay the Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup winners a £14.2 million loan fee with an obligation to make the deal permanent for a further £56.2m, which is based on appearances.
