  • Several clubs are still interested in Jude Bellingham and Borussia Dortmund has set the price tag
  • Kylian Mbappe situation at PSG is getting worse and the forward might leave in January
  • Joao Felix has requested leaving Atletico Madrid in the January transfer summer

Premier League side Chelsea have told Borussia Dortmund they would be prepared to pay €100m to sign midfielder Jude Bellingham, but the Bundesliga side are looking for at least €120m to sell the English teenager in the summer of 2023.

PSG star Kylian Mbappe has asked to leave Paris Saint-Germain in August, when he first claimed that they had broken promises to him in the summer transfer window. La Liga giants Real Madrid are prepared to renew their interest in the Frenchman, despite being hurt by his initial rejection.

After his excellent start to the season, Granit Xhaka is expected to be awarded a new Arsenal contract once the World Cup comes to an end as the Swiss captain will be engaged in Qatar with his nation.

Frenkie de Jong has accepted it is time to leave Barcelona, having grown frustrated over his fall behind Gavi and Pedri in the pecking order. Manchester United and Chelsea are the clubs who showed great interest in the midfielder last summer.

The La Liga leaders are also working tirelessly to convince Gerard Pique to retire at the end of the season. The veteran defender is under contract until 2024 but has been informed that he will struggle for minutes if he hangs around.

Chelsea have joined Liverpool and Bayern Munich in pursuit of RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer, who will leave the Bundesliga side in the summer when his contract expires. Chelsea still have unfinished business with Leipzig having reached an agreement with winger Christopher Nkunku.

Liverpool will also face competition in their bid to sign Rennes winger Jeremy Doku, who is now on the radars of Chelsea and Arsenal.

As a result of their abysmal start to the season, Juventus have paused all talks over new contracts with their current squad while those in charge figure out what the future holds for the Turin side.

Juventus are, however, preparing a move for Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan in the January transfer window should Pep Guardiola side agree n.

Tottenham remain interested in RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol and plan to rival Chelsea for the Croatia international’s signature.

The 22-year-old Portuguese is yet to score for the side in LaLiga or the Champions League this season and was an unused substitute in the midweek 0-0 draw with Club Brugge.

Atleti boss Diego Simeone has preferred Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata, Matheus Cunha and Angel Correa in attack recently.

Joao Felix has requested to leave Atletico Madrid in January, reports Fichajes.

The forward is frustrated that he has been used sparingly, largely outside the starting XI this term.

Joao Felix’s contract runs until 2026 and it will likely require a hefty fee to sign him from Atleti, who paid €126 million for him in 2019.

Relevo claims that Atleti are not considering selling the Portuguese any time soon.
