Sunday Transfer News Roundup: Real Madrid, Arsenal and Bayern Chase Yildiz as Endrick Eyes January Exit

Real Madrid, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are all reported to be chasing Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, while Endrick looks set to be one of the hottest names on the move in January, according to the latest transfer rumors from MatchHeadlines.

Real Madrid are pushing to sign Kenan Yildiz, and Arsenal and Bayern Munich are also circling the Juventus winger, according to Corriere dello Sport. Juventus have wanted at least €100 million for the 21-year-old for a year. Madrid want to set him up in a rivalry with Vinícius Júnior. Arsenal see the Turkey international as a fix for their thin options on the left. Bayern have kept a distant eye on him since he left their radar.

Endrick is in demand too. AC Milan plan another go at the Real Madrid striker after missing out in the summer, says La Gazzetta dello Sport. Coach Jose Mourinho first refused to let the 20-year-old go, but he has played just four minutes this season, all as a substitute. Roma are the main Italian rivals, and Corriere dello Sport says they want him on loan in January, with the Brazil international keen on the move for more game time. Aston Villa also failed to land him last summer.

Barcelona are ready to let Alejandro Balde go on loan in January, and Manchester United are among the clubs interested, TEAMtalk reports. The 22-year-old left-back has slipped down Hansi Flick's order and has played only 12 minutes this season, in a 7-2 win over Racing Santander. His camp is already working on a solution, and Barcelona could sign a new left-back in 2027. On a happier note, Raphinha, 29, plus 19-year-olds Xavi Espart and Marc Bernal, are all set to sign new deals, per Fabrizio Romano.

Juventus want Liverpool centre-back Giovanni Leoni, 19, as they look to add more Italian talent, says La Gazzetta dello Sport. They have moved on from Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori and Chelsea's Marco Palestra, who now look out of reach. Liverpool have not opened the door, but Juventus are not giving up.

Barcelona also like 18-year-old FC Twente defender Ruud Nijstad, Fabrizio Romano says. They asked about him in August but were told no, because Twente see him as a key man. Other clubs are now sending scouts.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are all looking at Manchester United attacker JJ Gabriel, 15, who has asked to leave, AS reports. United have let it be known they will take legal action against any club that negotiates with him. 

Arsenal, Barcelona, AC Milan and Juventus all want 15-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder Justin Ejodamen, TEAMtalk says.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are on a growing list of clubs checking on Freiburg striker Igor Matanovic, 23, according to CaughtOffside.

Newcastle United are open to letting midfielder Joe Willock, 27, go in January, Football Insider says. His contract runs out in the summer and he has not started talks on a new one.

Tottenham have no plans to sell Micky van de Ven, 25, even as Liverpool get ready to move for him next year, Football Insider reports. Leeds United don't want to lose Dan James, 28, but he could push for an exit in January.
