Federico Chiesa's future at Liverpool is once again under scrutiny, with reports from Italy suggesting the forward could be heading back to Serie A as soon as January. According to Calciomercato, Inter Milan, Lazio and Atalanta have all expressed interest in the 28-year-old, who is reportedly prepared to leave Anfield when the winter window opens.
Chiesa has struggled for regular game time since his move to Liverpool, and a return to Italian football would reunite him with the league where he built his reputation as one of the country's most promising attacking talents. None of the three interested clubs have yet made their interest concrete with an official approach, but the speculation adds another layer of uncertainty to Liverpool's squad planning for the second half of the season.
Elsewhere, Manchester City's prolific striker Erling Haaland continues to be the subject of transfer talk, though the destination being floated may surprise some observers. Teamtalk reports that while Arsenal possess the financial resources to pursue a deal for the Norwegian, who is 26, he is viewed as more likely to end up at Barcelona than make the move to the Emirates Stadium, should he depart the Etihad at some stage.
In other Premier League-related news, Brentford's Italian full-back Michael Kayode remains a player of interest to Juventus. Gazzetta dello Sport states that the Turin club have maintained their admiration for the 22-year-old right-back, who has impressed since his move to England.
Barcelona also feature prominently in the latest round of gossip. Dani Olmo, who has been strongly linked with a move away from the Catalan giants to Arsenal, Chelsea or Saudi Pro-League sides, is reportedly not interested in leaving the club at this stage, according to Caughtoffside, despite the growing speculation surrounding his future.
Meanwhile, both Tottenham and Liverpool are said to be keeping a close eye on Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma. The 29-year-old Japan international is out of contract at the end of the season, and Teamtalk suggests both London and Merseyside clubs are monitoring the situation closely with a possible move in January not ruled out.
In South America, teenage sensation Gilberto Mora is attracting attention from Europe's elite. The 17-year-old Mexican attacking midfielder, who plays for Club Tijuana, would reportedly prefer a move to either Real Madrid or Barcelona ahead of any interest from Liverpool, according to Football Insider, should he make the switch to Europe next year.
Barcelona's scouting network also appears to be active in Belgium, where the Spanish side are tracking Germany Under-21 international Nicolo Tresoldi. The Italian-born striker, 22, has continued to catch the eye with his performances for Club Brugge, according to Sport.
Finally, in a story away from transfer business, former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly planning to attend his old club's Champions League fixture against Paris St-Germain on 14 October. The visit, according to the Express, is intended as a gesture of solidarity with a City side that has endured a difficult period by their recent lofty standards.
