Vinicius Junior has informed Real Madrid of his decision not to renew his contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2027. This announcement comes amid reported tensions with manager Xabi Alonso. As a result, Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Liverpool, are closely monitoring his situation.

Liverpool has already engaged in concrete discussions regarding a potential transfer for Bournemouth’s Ghanaian forward, Antoine Semenyo, who is valued at £65 million due to his release clause.

In other developments, Manchester United and Chelsea have both scouted Assan Ouedraogo, a 19-year-old midfielder from RB Leipzig and Germany. Furthermore, Marseille is keen to enter negotiations with Brighton to secure Denmark midfielder Matt O’Riley on a permanent basis in January.

European football giants AC Milan are rumored to be plotting a significant move for Crystal Palace’s French striker, Jean-Philippe Mateta. Meanwhile, Premier League teams are anticipated to show interest in signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid, contingent upon the Spanish club’s willingness to sell or loan the former Chelsea player.

Paris Saint-Germain has joined the race alongside Real Madrid to acquire Bayern Munich’s French defender, Dayot Upamecano, who is expected to enter free agency at the season’s end. Additionally, Wolves’ Brazilian midfielder, Joao Gomes, is reportedly intrigued by Manchester United’s interest and is open to a transfer in January.

Looking ahead, it appears that Bernardo Silva, the 31-year-old Portugal midfielder, will likely depart Manchester City upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the season.
