Barcelona tracking Kane and Haaland, says BBC Sport

Barcelona are keeping tabs on two elite strikers: Harry Kane (33) and Erling Haaland (26). As BBC Sport puts it, the club would consider them alternatives in the event the current direction—connected to Atlético Madrid and Julián Álvarez—doesn’t line up.

Two options as plan B

BBC Sport also says Nick Woltemade could be viewed as a potential replacement for Kane at Bayern Munich. That link is attributed to Talksport, with Woltemade (24) currently on loan at Juventus.

Meanwhile, the same round-up points to defensive interest abroad: Jarrad Branthwaite (24) is again on the radar of Manchester United, according to Football Insider, following his return to action after injury troubles.

Other transfer-market chatter

BBC Sport adds more names from across the market. It claims the Arsenal are looking at Rio Ngumoha (18), while Liverpool want to extend his long-term deal, citing the Athletic (subscription required).

Finally, it flags that Endrick (20) could be available in the January window, with Manchester United mentioned among the suitors (AS via Teamtalk). In Italy, it also notes that AC Milan’s path to a permanent deal for Omari Hutchinson’s loan from Nottingham Forest is “close to” €50m (Calciomercato).
