Barcelona are growing increasingly confident of landing Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, with club president Joan Laporta reportedly obsessed with bringing the 25-year-old Norwegian to Camp Nou. Meanwhile, City are preparing to challenge Liverpool for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, whose contract expires next summer. Everton have no plans to sell centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite in 2026, as he's seen as central to their long-term project. Elsewhere, Brentford are showing interest in Borussia Dortmund’s 19-year-old German full-back Almugera Kabar.
