Bayern Munich are leading a growing pack of clubs tracking Brighton defender Luka Vuskovic, and Liverpool are weighing a move for Barcelona's Jules Kounde, according to the latest round of transfer reports.

Bayern lead the chase for Vuskovic

Brighton centre-back Luka Vuskovic, 19, is a target for Bayern Munich, with the Croatia international also being monitored by Chelsea and Barcelona, according to Teamtalk.

The teenage defender has attracted attention after breaking into the Seagulls' senior set-up, and Bayen's interest places them in competition with two other heavyweight European clubs. No fee or formal bid has been reported at this stage.

Bayern hold fresh Gabriel talks - but Spain beckons

Bayern Munich have held fresh talks with 16-year-old Manchester United attacking midfielder JJ Gabriel, but they have not made him an offer, with a feeling at the German club that the youngster is leaning towards a move to Spain, where Barcelona and Real Madrid are considered favourites (Sky Sports Germany).

United's concern about losing the teenager is long-standing. As far back as 23 September 2026, reports indicated the club's scouts were scouring the continent for replacements for the emerging talent, with 16-year-old Lens prospect Mezian Mesloub identified as a key target.

AC Milan keep tabs on Alex Scott

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, 23, is wanted by AC Milan, who remain keen on the England international despite his increasing value, according to Tuttomercatoweb. The Italian club's continued interest comes as Scott's price tag climbs on the back of his performances for the Cherries.

Porto raise Gomes clause to £85m amid Liverpool interest

Porto have increased the release clause in the contract of 20-year-old Brazil forward William Gomes to 100m euros (£85m) amid interest from Liverpool, per A Bola. The move is a clear attempt by the Portuguese club to ward off suitors for one of their most prized young attackers.

Liverpool eye Kounde as Barcelona set £60m price

Liverpool are also interested in Barcelona's Jules Kounde, with the La Liga side open to offers of £60m for the France full-back, according to Fichajes. The suggestion of a defined price point for a player of Kounde's profile is likely to sharpen interest from Anfield and elsewhere.

Chelsea balk at Camara valuation

Chelsea remain interested in a move for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara, 22, after missing out on him in the summer, but the Blues will not pay the Ligue 1 club's 70m euro (£59m) valuation for the Senegal international (Goal).

For context, a FotMob snapshot fetched on 10 October 2026 recorded Camara with 5 appearances, 0 goals and 1 assist in Ligue 1 in the 2026-27 season.

City's summer approach for Dortmund teenager

Manchester City made an approach to sign 17-year-old USA forward Mathis Albert from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, according to Goal, in the latest indication of the Premier League champions' appetite for recruiting elite young talent from European rivals.

What it means

Taken together, the reports point to a market in which Europe's biggest clubs are prioritising youth - Vuskovic, Gabriel, Gomes, Camara and Albert are all 22 or under - while established internationals such as Kounde and Scott remain live options for sides prepared to pay a premium. None of the moves described have been completed, and each remains at the level of reported interest or valuation.
