The January transfer window doesn’t open for another two months, however clubs across the world are already beginning to finalise their mid-season business.
Below, FootballTransfers runs through today’s biggest rumours, including the latest on Vinicius Junior and Kenan Yildiz.
Vinicius Jr to Man Utd?
Vinicius Junior has been heavily linked with a Real Madrid exit following his outburst at Xabi Alonso during El Clasico and Manchester United have now joined the race to sign him.
Ruben Amorim’s side rejuvenated their forward line with the additions of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha this summer, however they are reportedly eager to land Vinicius next year.
That is according to Fichajes, who report that Man Utd are prepared to submit a €200m offer to sign the Real Madrid superstar during the 2026 summer transfer window.

Chelsea intensify Kenan Yildiz chase
Chelsea have reportedly submitted a “very exciting proposal” to Kenan Yildiz following discussions with the Juventus star’s representatives.
Arsenal, Barcelona, Manchester United and Real Madrid have all been linked with a move for the 20-year-old since the 2025 summer transfer window slammed shut on 1 September, but TEAMtalk claim that Chelsea are viewed as the frontrunners in the race to sign him.
In fact, the Blues have reportedly tabled a “very exciting proposal” to Yildiz after a “discreet” meeting with his camp. It’s understood that Chelsea are working “non-stop” on finalising a deal for the Turkey winger, with scouts consistently watching him in action for Juventus this season.
Bukayo Saka contract update
Fabrizio Romano has voiced his belief that Arsenal will be able to agree a new contract with Bukayo Saka.
The Gunners have focused heavily on agreeing contract extensions with their best players and Saka is among those in line for a new deal, alongside Jurrien Timber.
“Yes, he would be among their top earners," Romano told GIVEMESPORT when asked about Saka’s new deal. “The length of the contract is being discussed, but talks are very positive, so I think a new deal will get done.”
Real Madrid target Alexis Mac Allister
Real Madrid are reportedly set to submit an official offer for Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister during the January transfer window.
The Argentina international has been touted as a possible Los Blancos signing for several months and Xabi Alonso’s side are now ready to finalise a deal when the mid-season window opens on 1 January.
Mac Allister has been an integral member of Liverpool’s starting XI since his arrival from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023, however Real Madrid are set to test their resolve with a formal bid next year, according to renowned X account IndyKaila.
Chelsea eye Joaquin Panichelli
Chelsea are “actively working” on a deal to sign Strasbourg striker Joaquin Panichelli next summer.
The Blues have already finalised a transfer for Emanuel Emegha to join the club in 2026, but they are now reportedly eager to land fellow Strasbourg centre forward Panichelli following his electric start to the new season.
That is according to Spanish publication Fichajes, who have revealed that Chelsea’s hierarchy are looking to arrange a deal to sign the 23-year-old next summer.
