Chelsea are reportedly considering reviving their interest in winger Kerim Alajbegovic following his strong start at Juventus, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. Chelsea previously held talks with Bayer Leverkusen before Alajbegovic joined Juventus for €32m in August. Meanwhile, Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol reportedly rejected an approach from Barcelona during the summer transfer window after committing to a new five-year contract with the English champions.

Elsewhere, Jorge Mendes has reportedly offered Joao Felix to Barcelona on a potential free transfer when his Al-Nassr deal expires, though the club considers their attack well covered. Juventus are also reportedly targeting Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey, who has attracted interest from Manchester United, and could pursue Rayan Ait-Nouri or Tyrick Mitchell if left-back Juan Cabal departs in January.
