Manchester United are keen on Giuliano Simeone, Chelsea are ready to pay what Bournemouth want for Alex Scott, and Premier League clubs are chasing Aleksandar Stankovic, according to the latest transfer gossip from MatchHeadlines.

Manchester United will take a close look at 23-year-old Argentina forward Giuliano Simeone of Atletico Madrid when the two sides meet in the Champions League, says Mundo Deportivo.

Chelsea will meet Bournemouth's price for 23-year-old England midfielder Alex Scott in January, says Teamtalk. The Cherries still hope he will sign a new deal.

Several Premier League clubs like 21-year-old Serbia midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic of Inter Milan, says AS.

Chelsea are also looking at Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 29, but Barcelona want at least £50m to sell him in January, says Football Insider.

Real Madrid are close to extending the deal of 34-year-old Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois until 2028, says Mundo Deportivo. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says an agreement in principle is in place that keeps him at the Bernabeu for the 2027/28 season.

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer, 72, will not rule out a future move for Erling Haaland of Manchester City, but says the club have enough firepower for now. Bayern see the Norwegian as a top heir to Harry Kane.

Werder Bremen have no option to sign on-loan Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug, 33, from West Ham, and the clubs have not talked about a future deal yet, says Sky Sports Germany.
