It is time to take a closer look at the latest transfer news today, with Premier League and European clubs keeping their eyes wide open for potential business deals.
One of the biggest stories of the day comes out of the Etihad Stadium, with Manchester City plotting an ambitious move for a highly rated defender – one that is already negotiating with Bayern Munich.
Elsewhere, Tottenham are considering making a move for a La Liga striker worth upwards of £40m.

Man Utd target Angelo Stiller prefers La Liga giants
Manchester United have been courting young Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller for some time, though the Bundesliga star is reportedly ready to snub the Premier League giants in favour of a move to La Liga, according to a report by Defensa Central.
The 24-year-old is expected to leave his current employers in 2026, and reports suggest he is willing to join Real Madrid – a club that has also monitored him for a while.
This certainly comes as a blow for United, who planned to build a midfield partnership with another potential future signing, Carlos Baleba.
Whoever ends up getting a deal done with Stiller, Stuttgart will be expecting a payment of at least £43m – a number that could yet increase ahead of the next summer transfer window.
Man City watching teenage star Givairo Read
Manchester City are preparing to make a move for Feyenoord’s Dutch defender Givairo Read, snatching him away from Bayern Munich, who have already held talks with the player.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano believes the Citizens are determined to sign a right-back in 2026, and 19-year-old Read is one of their top targets in that position.
As things stand, the player boasts an estimated value of £17m, though the real transfer fee could be a lot bigger – especially with some of the biggest European clubs hunting his signature.
City have struggled to fill the hole at right-back following Kyle Walker’s departure, with Rico Lewis being the only natural in the position. The signing of Read would offer Pep Guardiola another option.
Tottenham ready to splash big cash on Georges Mikautadze
According to the latest reports from Spanish news outlet Fichajes, Tottenham are preparing to make a bid for Villarreal striker Georges Mikatadze.
The Premier League outfit are ready to make an opening bid of £44m, with the club looking to strengthen for the second half of the season.
The 25-year-old striker could offer the answer to Tottenham’s goalscoring problems, with Dominic Solanke currently on the sidelines and Richarlison struggling to make his mark.
Mikatadze has scored five goals in 14 games this season and only recently entered Tottenham’s radar. The Georgian striker has an estimated value of £26m on Transfermarkt – a number that has been on the rise in recent years.
