Barcelona is actively monitoring Harry Kane and Erling Haaland as potential alternatives to Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. The club seeks to bolster its attacking options with these high-profile forwards.

• Harry Kane, 33, currently at Tottenham, and Erling Haaland, 26, from Manchester City, are both being considered.

In a related move, Bayern Munich is looking at Nick Woltemade, a 24-year-old forward from Newcastle United, currently on loan at Juventus, as a possible replacement for Kane should he leave.

Meanwhile, Manchester United has shown interest in Jarrad Branthwaite, a 24-year-old defender from Everton, as he returns to form post-injury.

Additionally, Arsenal is keeping an eye on 18-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha, while Liverpool aims to secure his long-term contract.

Tottenham remains keen on Morgan Gibbs-White, a 26-year-old midfielder from Nottingham Forest, despite previous attempts to sign him in summer 2025; Forest is not looking to sell.

In January, Real Madrid might make a move for Endrick, a 20-year-old striker, with Manchester United also interested.

Rodri, 30, expressed gratitude to Jose Mourinho for his interest after opting to join Barcelona over Real Madrid this summer.

Lastly, Barcelona's sporting director Deco met with Raphinha, 29, to discuss extending his contract, which runs until 2028.
