Deadline day key events
Could Man United sign another Bayern Munich player in January?

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman in the January transfer window.
The Red Devils made five new additions during the summer transfer window, including the signings of two Bayern defenders.
They recruited right-back Noussair Mazraoui and centre-back Matthijs de Ligt, who both previously played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax.
After engaging in productive negotiations with Bayern in the summer, Man United could make an attempt to sign another player from the German club when the transfer market reopens in the new year.
Liverpool could seal Chiesa reunion as Van Dijk replacement 'identified'

Liverpool have reportedly earmarked their ideal replacement for captain Virgil van Dijk, whom they are growing concerned about losing in 2025.
It is well-documented that the Dutchman is in the final year of his contract with the Reds, meaning that he can sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs in January if no new deal is agreed by then.
At 33 years of age, Van Dijk is not expected to be handed a long-term renewal by Anfield chiefs, although the club are thought to be preparing to sit down with his camp and discuss an extension.
Whether an agreement can be reached is another question entirely, as while Van Dijk recently insisted that he was relaxed about his future, he could be offered a once-in-a-lifetime wage by clubs in Saudi Arabia.
"He can develop even more" - Agent reveals Chelsea plan for Estevao

Chelsea have a plan in place to move Estevao Willian into a different position, according to his agent.
During the summer transfer window, the Blues confirmed that they would be signing the Palmeiras star on July 1 next year in an alleged €57m (£48.12m) deal.
Although FIFA regulations have prevented the 17-year-old from moving to the Premier League until after his 18th birthday, that has not stopped the prospect from starring in South America.
A total of eight goals and seven assists have been recorded in 21 top-flight fixtures, leading to his first-ever call-up to the Brazil senior squad.
Future dilemma: Liverpool winger Salah to receive three Saudi contract offers?
![Liverpool's Mohamed Salah on August 11, 2024 Liverpool's Mohamed Salah on August 11, 2024](https://sm.imgix.net/24/35/mohamed-salah.jpg?w=640&h=480&auto=compress,format&fit=clip)
Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is reportedly expected to receive multiple contract offers from the Saudi Pro League.
The Egypt international has enjoyed a sensational start to the new campaign, already contributing three goals and three assists in as many Premier League fixtures.
That return has helped the Merseyside giants to victories over Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United respectively, but speculation continues to persist regarding the versatile attacker's future.
With less than 12 months remaining on his contract, that will be the case until the 32-year-old makes a decision on the next phase of his career.
Musiala to Man City: Bayern star addresses future amid exit reports
![Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala pictured on August 25, 2024 Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala pictured on August 25, 2024](https://sm.imgix.net/24/36/jamal-musiala.jpg?w=640&h=480&auto=compress,format&fit=clip)
Jamal Musiala has said that he is "very happy" at Bayern Munich amid suggestions that Manchester City are keen to bring him to the Premier League in the near future.
The Premier League champions are thought to view Musiala as a long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who only has a contract at the Etihad Stadium until next summer.
Musiala's deal at Allianz Arena has two years left to run, meanwhile, and it has been suggested that the Germany international could return to England.
The 21-year-old has revealed his happiness at Bayern but admitted that "things can always change quickly in the world of football", with the attacker not closing the door on a move away from Allianz Arena.
Camp Nou arrival? Barcelona target confirms he will leave current team next year

Experienced centre-back Jonathan Tah has revealed that he will not be signing a new contract at Bayer Leverkusen and will therefore be leaving the Bundesliga champions in 2025.
There was a host of speculation surrounding the Germany international's future over the summer, with both Bayern Munich and Barcelona heavily linked with his services.
Barcelona are believed to have given serious consideration to moving for Tah in the latter stages of the transfer window, but the Catalan outfit's financial situation prevented them from being able to sign him.
The 28-year-old's contract is due to expire at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, though, and he has revealed that this will be his final season with Xabi Alonso's side.
