– Bayern Munich have held fresh talks with Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel‘s representatives over a potential move, Sky Germany reports. The Bundesliga giants have not made an offer to the 16-year-old because they have yet to receive a firm commitment from him, and they fear that he favours a move to Spain. A January switch is planned for Gabriel — who has not trained with United since walking out on the club ahead of their Carabao Cup tie with Brighton & Hove AlbionBrighton & Hove on Sept. 16 — but United want to retain the teenager.
– Liverpool are considering a January move for Fulham midfielder Josh King, according to Football Insider. The 19-year-old is also attracting interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona after an impressive start to the season. Fulham are reluctant to lose him, but Liverpool view King as a potential long-term addition and will continue monitoring his performances before deciding whether to make a move. He is under contract at Craven Cottage until June 2029.
– Bayern Munich have renewed their interest in Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo and could consider a January move, beIN Sports reports. The 28-year-old remains part of Hansi Flick’s plans but faces competition from Fermín López for playing time. Barcelona could listen to offers in the region of €90 million, although no formal bid has been confirmed. Olmo is under contract until 2030, with several Premier League clubs also monitoring his situation.
– Nottingham Forest would require an exceptional offer to consider letting Murillo leave the club in January amid interest from Manchester United, TEAMtalk reports. The Brazilian centre-back is also admired by Liverpool and Chelsea, but Forest regard a midseason departure as highly unlikely. Murillo signed a new contract until 2030 back in May, strengthening the club’s negotiating position.
– Real Madrid and Barcelona could tempt Michael Olise away from Bayern Munich, but the winger has little interest in returning to the Premier League, TEAMtalk reports. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City remain keen admirers, although the France international is settled in Germany and is open to discussing a new contract. Bayern are prepared to offer a substantial pay rise, while both Spanish clubs have made their interest known to his representatives.
