Real Madrid, Arsenal and Bayern Chase Kenan Yildiz as Milan Renews Push for Endrick

Europe's transfer market is already stirring quietly, and one name keeps coming up more and more: Kenan Yildiz. The Turkish winger from Juventus has become one of the most coveted targets on the continent, and according to Corriere dello Sport, no less than Real Madrid, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are after him.

The Turin club has spent a year asking for at least 100 million euros for the 21 year old, a figure that hasn't scared off Real Madrid, which is reviving its interest with next summer already in mind. In Madrid, the idea is clear: have him compete with Vinicius Junior for a spot in attack. Arsenal, for its part, sees Yildiz as the answer to its lack of options on the left wing, while Bayern has been tracking him closely ever since he left the Bavarian club's academy. Three giants, one target, and Juventus isn't budging on the price for now.

Milan Keeps Pushing for Endrick

Meanwhile, in Madrid another story could break open in January: the departure of Endrick. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan is preparing a fresh attempt to land the Brazilian forward after missing out last summer. Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho had initially refused to let him leave, but the reality on the field has shifted things: the 20 year old has played just one match as a substitute this season, and for only four minutes. Roma is also circling the Brazilian within Italy, while Aston Villa already tried and failed to land him last summer.

Barcelona isn't sitting still on the outgoing front either. According to TEAMtalk, the Catalan club is willing to let Alejandro Balde leave on loan in January, with Manchester United among those interested in the left back. The 22 year old Spaniard has lost ground in Hansi Flick's setup and has only stepped onto the field once all season: the final twelve minutes of a 7-2 win over Racing Santander. His camp is already working to find him a way out, while the Catalan club is considering bringing in another left back, but not until 2027.

On the young prospects front, Juventus is also looking toward the Premier League: Liverpool center back Giovanni Leoni, just 19 years old, is the latest name La Gazzetta dello Sport has linked to the Turin club, which had already explored a loan move in previous months and is now setting aside other targets such as Riccardo Calafiori or Marco Palestra, considered out of reach. Liverpool has not opened the door to his departure for now.

Barcelona, meanwhile, is also tracking another young center back: 18 year old Dutchman Ruud Nijstad of FC Twente, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. There was contact back in August that went nowhere because the Dutch club wants to keep him as a key piece, but Barcelona's interest remains alive while other clubs are also starting to travel to watch him in person.

There's also movement on the academy front: Real Madrid is among the clubs that could compete for JJ Gabriel, a 15 year old forward at Manchester United, according to the newspaper AS. The youngster has already made clear he wants to leave the English club, and Bayern Munich looms as a major rival, with Barcelona also gaining ground in recent days. United, meanwhile, has let it be known that it will take legal action against any club that negotiates with the player.

In lesser rumors, Arsenal, Barcelona, Milan and Juventus all share interest in another teenager, 15 year old Borussia Dortmund midfielder Justin Ejodamen. Tottenham has no plans to let Micky van de Ven go, even though Liverpool is preparing a push for him next year. United, Arsenal and Chelsea are keeping a close eye on Freiburg forward Igor Matanovic, while Newcastle is reportedly willing to let Joe Willock leave in January. At Leeds, Dan James' future could also be settled in the winter window, and Roma, for its part, is negotiating a contract renewal with Mario Hermoso.
