Latest transfer news today: Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz stance revealed as Bayern eye £125m Spurs target

The January transfer window may still be months away, but clubs across Europe are already putting recruitment plans in place ahead of the new year.

Scouts are monitoring potential targets, sporting directors are drawing up shortlists, and negotiations are quietly taking shape behind the scenes.

With speculation gathering pace, several high-profile names continue to dominate the headlines as teams look to strengthen key areas of their squads. Football Whispers takes a look at the biggest transfer rumours dominating today's backpages.

Man Utd eye 2027 move for Tyrick Mitchell

Manchester United are keeping tabs on Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell ahead of the January transfer window as they assess options to strengthen a problem position.

According to reports, United face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea, with Mitchell's contract situation attracting growing interest, having been one of the Eagles' most consistent performers in recent seasons.

Palace remain hopeful of agreeing fresh terms with the English defender, but uncertainty over his future has put several Premier League clubs on alert.

Mitchell's experience, reliability and homegrown status make him an appealing target, with a cut-price January move viewed as a possibility for a team like United.

Liverpool stance on Florian Wirtz exit revealed

Liverpool remain fully committed to Florian Wirtz despite ongoing speculation surrounding the midfielder's future at Anfield.

The 23-year-old joined the Reds from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth a reported £116m but has endured a difficult start to life in the Premier League.

Reports claim Bayern Munich are monitoring his situation, although Liverpool have no desire to part ways with the Germany international.

Club officials are said to be confident Wirtz will rediscover the form that made him one of Europe's brightest talents and view him as a key part of their long-term plans. Any potential suitor would also have to meet a significant asking price, with Liverpool unwilling to sanction an early exit.

Spurs suffer fresh Morgan Gibbs-White blow

Tottenham Hotspur remain admirers of Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White after previously attempting to sign the England international, but face stiff competition for his signature.

The 26-year-old has continued to impress at the City Ground with his creative displays, establishing himself as one of the Premier League's standout attacking midfielders.

According to new reports, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are also interested in Gibbs-White, who has been directly involved in 18 goals during 2026.

Forest are expected to resist any approach and demand a substantial fee in the region of £125m for their captain should interest intensify. However, with Europe's elite continuing to monitor his progress, speculation over his long-term future is likely to persist.
