October 2025

Cristhian Mosquera (Arsenal)
October 2025
Mosquera is evaluating a one time switch from Spain to Colombia after being promised a World Cup spot. The 21 year old signed from Valencia in the summer and faces heavy competition in Spain’s centre back pool.
Colombia’s guaranteed pathway and his dual eligibility create immediate tournament access. Arsenal minutes and form will shape the decision timeline as Spain options like Pau Cubarsí and Robin Le Normand block a near term call up.
Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace)
October 2025
Yeremy Pino’s comments comparing Wharton to Rodri have amplified transfer talk around the English midfielder. Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Liverpool are monitoring him as a long-term successor to Toni Kroos or Luka Modric.
Wharton’s mix of energy, precision, and ball-winning has drawn admiration across Europe. Pino claimed Wharton has “Spain national team” quality. Palace may face heavy pressure to sell next summer if offers align with their valuation and Wharton’s ambitions.
Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)
October 2025
Inter have entered the chase for Marc Guehi, proposing a January swap involving defender Yann Bisseck. Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona remain interested in the Palace captain, who plans to leave when his contract expires next summer.
Palace prefer selling in January to avoid losing him for free. The exchange benefits all sides: Palace gain defensive cover, Bisseck finds playing time, and Inter strengthen depth. Guehi’s €40m valuation and top-level interest could spark a midseason bidding contest.
Memphis Depay (Corinthians)
October 2025
Corinthians intend to extend Depay’s contract beyond 2026 once unpaid bonuses and signing fees are resolved. The Dutch forward has scored seven goals in 11 games and remains vital to their attack despite disputes over €2.7m owed.

Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad)
October 2025
Fenerbahce are preparing a January move for Benzema to fix their goalscoring struggles. The 37-year-old Ballon d’Or winner earns €50m annually in Saudi Arabia but is reportedly open to returning to Europe. Club president Sadettin Saran has endorsed the pursuit.
Talks may accelerate if Benzema’s camp shows interest. Underperforming forward Jhon Duran could depart to make room. If negotiations fail, Fenerbahce will pivot to other strikers. The move would reunite Benzema with European competition and restore his late-career visibility.
Arnau Martínez (Girona)
October 2025
Juventus plan a January push for Girona’s Arnau Martínez while monitoring Genoa’s Brooke Norton Cuffy and Monaco’s Jordan Teze. The club have also asked about Bayern’s Raphaël Guerreiro who is unlikely to renew with his deal expiring in the summer.
