With Vinicius Jr. still not signing a new contract, plenty of clubs have shown interest. One of those is Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola a huge fan. Despite interest in fellow Brazilian Rodrygo this past summer, they are looking to pivot to Vini Jr. and test Real Madrid with a $175 million (€150 million). Los Blancos could look to go further, but with his contract ending in 2027, they may take it and invest in the squad. - Fichajes
Manchester United are the latest team to show interest in young AZ Alkmaar star Kees Smit. However, they could lose out to Real Madrid, who are also interested in the Dutchman. Xabi Alonso is a fan of the 21-year-old, and the club is preparing a $58 million (€50 million) bid to beat off competition from other clubs. - Fichajes
With Real Madrid revealing they are out of the race for Liverpool center-back Ibrahima Konate, others look to take advantage. The latest team to look to sign the defender, who is out of contract in June 2026, is Serie A side Inter Milan. The Italians could look to get a cut-price deal in January, knowing Liverpool will likely want to cash in if he does not sign a new contract. - Inter Live
