Today's biggest transfer stories
Barcelona want to sign a new centre-back next summer and Micky van de Ven is high on their shortlist, according to reports in Spain. The 24-year-old is contracted at Tottenham at 2029 but could be convinced to leave given Spurs' struggles.
Real Madrid are the frontrunners to sign Nico Shlotterbeck, according to Bild. The German international is out of contract at Borussia Dortmund in 2027 and he's unlikely to sign a new contract. Madrid want to sign Sclotterbeck when his deal expires but could be forced to move early.
Manchester United are interested in signing Tarik Muharemović. Reports in Italy claim United have joined Inter Milan in the race to sign the Sassuolo defender.
