Manchester City, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are battling for Joao Palhinha, SunSport revealed.
The 28-year-old Portuguese midfielder has been a shining figure for Fulham in the Premier League over the past 18 months.
He almost joined Bayern in the summer, but the deal fell through – Pep Guardiola now wants to try and land Palhinha.
And should City be successful, that could pave the way for Kalvin Phillips to leave on loan with Juventus keen.
Burnley are willing to strike a £15m deal with Marseille for midfield destroyer Pape Gueye.
Boss Vincent Kompany’s scouts picked out the Senegal international as one who could boost their fight to beat the drop.
The French club will sell Gueye, 24, who wants to play in the Premier League — as we revealed last week.
Kompany hopes to receive support for signaling new developments next month after a flurry of signals in the latest window.
Gueye needs a second chance in the Premier League after the first one ended up kicking him a ball.

They are tempted to move for the younger ones.
The Blues are interested in signing former Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres, according to reports.
The Mirror claim that Chelsea are in the process of finalizing a deal for the Sporting Lisbon man.
However, the Portuguese giants have all the chips and can ask for up to £85 million for the Sweden international.
Pep Guardiola is ready to join the bigwig war to sign £60m Fulham centre-back Joao Palhinha.
Both Bayern Munich and Liverpool are willing to sign the Portuguese midfielder, who is serving one season.
But Guardiola is also an admirer and thinks Palhinha, 28, would be a perfect addition to his all-star Manchester City cast.
And if he turns his interest into a successful bid in January, Kalvin Phillips may be on his way out.
Juventus are willing to loan him out for the rest of the season, while, ironically, Fulham have been turned down after showing interest last summer.
Phillips was determined to stay and fight for his place at the Etihad but is equally aware that he needs more action to protect his England chances for next year’s Euros.
Middlesbrough are in a position to make an initial offer to sign underdog centre-half Joe Worrall from Nottingham Forest.
Championship side Boro are willing to loan Worrall and, in all likelihood, sign him to a full-time contract if they win promotion to the Prem.
Worrall, 26, recently signed a new contract but is no longer in Forest’s side and could be sacked in January with interest from Middlesbrough manager and Manchester United hero Michael Carrick.
And City Ground defender Scott McKenna, 27, will also be looking for a new home after his lack of game time recently as the Scotland star wants to be sharp for Euro 2024.
Worrall and McKenna are believed to have been told to train on different pitches from the remainder of the first team.
Defenders also had to arrive at practice at a different time than their teammates.
West Ham are keeping an eye on Stuttgart’s French defender Dan-Axel Zagadou and could take out Nayef Aguerd.
Hammers manager David Moyes has sent his spies to keep an eye on the 6-foot-6 centre-back in case Aguerd leaves in the January window.
The Moroccan finds that the physical aspect of the Premier League is complicated, but Moyes has religion in the 27-year-old.
Lyon are keen on a loan-to-buy deal and that would happen if Moyes found a replacement in time.
Zagadou, 24, was on West Ham’s watch list a year ago when he was at Borussia Dortmund.
West Ham have included Montpellier striker Akor Adams on their transfer list.
Stoke will do final interviews with candidates for their managerial vacancy this week — and Paul Heckingbottom is emerging as a strong contender.
Hecky, 46, is looking for a quick return to protection after being eliminated by Sheffield United this month and the Blades’ promotion last season looks smart on his CV.
The experienced boss is one of a few candidates due to meet Potters co-chairman John Coates this week.
John Eustace was favourite when Alex Neil was sacked last week and is still in the frame.
Tony Mowbray is also after his departure from Sunderland.
It’s possible Stoke will even look for Steven Schumacher, who knocked Plymouth out of League One last season.
Real Madrid are still interested in signing Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, according to reports.
Los Blancos have been monitoring the Norway international for several years.
And according to Spanish outlet AS, the La Liga giants are already aware of his clause.
Haaland reportedly has a £171. 6 million (€200 million) clause in his contract that will take effect next year.
However, the price of the clause is expected to be reduced with a move-in window beyond 2024 until his contract expires in 2027.
Real Madrid are also keeping a close eye on Kylian Mbappe’s existence at Paris Saint-Germain.
Chelsea are tipped to offload three players next month to boost Mauricio Pochettino’s transfer kitty.

The three strikers Chelsea are going for are Victor Osimhen, Ivan Toney and Santiago Gimenez.
Manchester United have been warned that they are opposed to signing former Arsenal man Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund.
The Red Devils have been heavily linked with a swoop for the 24-year-old Holland striker this month.
Dortmund are reportedly willing to partner Malen in a swap deal for Jadon Sancho, who is expected to leave Old Trafford in January.
However, ex-United striker Dwight Yorke has urged his former club against signing him.
Yorke told Instant Casino: “I haven’t noticed Donyell Malen much, but I know he’s scored a couple of goals in the Bundesliga.
“I haven’t watched him enough to judge him, but he happens to be a smart player.
“United can’t waste money signing players who wouldn’t possibly be part of the team. I’m an aspiring coach, and that’s the first thing I consider before signing someone.
“If this player moves up the point of the position he occupies, then the team will continue on the same path.
Malen left Arsenal to sign for PSV Eindhoven at the age of 18 in 2017, before signing for Dortmund 3 years later.
Speculation is growing that Santos striker Marcos Leonardo will leave Arsenal.
Goal Brasil expect the Gunners to move for the 20-year-old in January.
And Santos dropping to the second tier for the first time in their 111-year history could make the Under-20 international available for less than the £12.8million Roma offered last summer.
Goal Brasil even claim Arsenal are “aware” the Brazilians have “promised” to negotiate selling Leonardo in the next transfer window.

Aside from loan signings, the Gunners have spent more than they got from summer sales and will want to cut back on spending by comparison.

Christopher Nkunku is finally set for his Chelsea debut at home to Sheffield United tomorrow – more than a year after agreeing to join the Londoners.
The French striker suffered a knee injury during the Blues’ pre-season excursion to America after costing RB Leipzig £52m this summer.
Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino said: “We have to be calm and calm because this is going to put all the stress on him.
“Nkunku is like a new signing because we used him in pre-season.
“Romeo Lavia will be fit in maybe one week or 10 days. These are two players who still haven’t made their debuts.”
Arsenal’s hypothesis about Santos striker Marcos Leonardo is growing.
Goal Brasil expects the Gunners to update the 20-year-old in January.

Goal Brasil even claim Arsenal are “aware” the Brazilians have “promised” to negotiate selling Leonardo in the next transfer window.
Ivan Toney would “prefer” to join Arsenal ahead of Chelsea in a January transfer battle fetching up to £100million.

And despite being valued at more than £80 million, Romano believes any deal could exceed that figure.
He also claims Toney is “very excited” by the possibility of switching across London to the Emirates.

“But we also sense that Mo is satisfied where he is now and at a historic and glorious club like Liverpool. We respect him very much and we don’t need to give the impression that we are pressuring him.
“But if there’s any interest in doing something, Mo Salah is a player in your league, in any league.
“We respect Liverpool and in this situation the initiative to do something will not come from us. There will have to be an aligned interest from all parties involved.
“It’s very personal, as a player I signed [for Chelsea] and I like it. I’m not saying anything that’s new or revolutionary. If Mo Salah is available, has interest and everything is aligned, he would do it. to be incredibly excited. “
Mo Salah will join Liverpool in January via the Saudi Pro League’s director of football.
Salah, 31, was heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in the summer.
Al-Ittihad made an offer of £170m for the winger on transfer deadline but rejected it via Liverpool.
The Saudi Arabian side then offered at the last minute a value of more than £200 million, but the Reds refused to budge.
Some reports recommend that Saudi Pro League officials were willing to re-engage the winger in January.
However, director Michael Emenalo believes a change is unlikely.

The Red Devils have been heavily linked with the 24-year-old Dutch striker this month.

Arsenal and Chelsea are said to be interested in signing him, but Shearer believes he would be the best fit for Newcastle.
Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, the Toon icon said: “I would, if I was in the recruitment rhythm at Newcastle.
“I think he’s a very smart player and I think he’s a very smart choice.
“Newcastle need to improve in that department, and they need another option in there, so I don’t think there will be any shortage of suitors for Ivan Toney.”

Forza Roma claims that intermediaries have introduced the Polish centre-back to AS Roma.
