• Manchester City have added Lens centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov to their list of potential signings in January and are well-informed on his situation, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. There is still an open race to sign the 20-year-old, with various other top clubs interested in the Uzbekistan international, as he is considered among the best talents in his position.

AFC Bournemouth are aware of Real Madrid's interest in Dean Huijsen, reports The Sun, which adds that any departure for the centre-back would be more likely in the summer than January. This comes with Los Blancos scouts having tracked the 19-year-old for some time and been left impressed by his swift rise in the Premier League.

• Napoli want to sign Juventus defender Danilo and Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa, reports Tuttosport. Danilo is increasingly likely to leave Juventus while Chiesa has struggled for game time, having made his own departure from I Bianconeri last summer, although Napoli will face competition from Atalanta for the latter.

• Having taken over at AC Milan, new manager Sérgio Conceição could look to his Portuguese roots, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. They are linking I Rossoneri with Sporting CP's Francisco Trincão, Porto winger Pepê and Mallorca's Samú Costa. Genoa's Morten Frendrup, Hellas Verona's Reda Belahyane and Monza's Warren Bondo are also being considered for the midfield position.

• AC Milan are continuing to monitor Samuele Ricci despite the midfielder signing a new deal that could keep him at Torino until 2028, Calciomercato reports. It adds that the contract was an act of recognition for Torino and there is a verbal agreement that the 23-year-old can leave if there is an offer of €25 million or more. There is also interest from the Premier League.

• Juventus' negotiations with AC Milan regarding Fikayo Tomori are on standby after Conceição took over, Calciomercato reports, although it states that a transfer could still be completed with I Rossoneri continuing to want €25m for the centre-back. If they don't get the 27-year-old, Juventus could focus on alternative options of Benfica's António Silva and Feyenoord's Dávid Hancko.

CONFIRMED TRANSFERS

Chelsea have recalled Aaron Anselmino from his loan at Boca Juniors and he will now be part of the first team. The 19-year-old centre-back was signed by the west London club in the summer for £16m, but loaned straight back to Boca to continue his development. He made 18 appearances over the course of the loan and became a regular in the XI.
