AC Milan is reportedly planning a significant move for Jean-Philippe Mateta, the 28-year-old striker from Crystal Palace and France.

In another development, Premier League clubs are anticipated to pursue Conor Gallagher, a 25-year-old midfielder from Atletico Madrid, in January, provided the Spanish club is open to selling or loaning the former Chelsea player.

Paris Saint-Germain has joined Real Madrid in the pursuit of Dayot Upamecano, the 27-year-old defender from Bayern Munich, who is set to enter free agency at the conclusion of the season.

Joao Gomes, a 24-year-old midfielder from Wolves and Brazil, is reportedly intrigued by Manchester United’s interest and would welcome a move in January.

Bernardo Silva, the 31-year-old midfielder from Portugal, is expected to depart from Manchester City upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the season.

Atletico Madrid is contemplating a move for Mason Greenwood, the 24-year-old forward, with a valuation around £70 million.
