Argentine striker Joaquin Panichelli has become one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe, with several elite clubs vying for his signature ahead of the January transfer window. The 23-year-old has taken Ligue 1 by storm this season, emerging as a breakout star for RC Strasbourg and now finds himself firmly on the radar of Chelsea, who are leading the chase thanks to their close ownership ties with the French club, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

Gazzetta dello Sport has suggested that Mexico striker Santiago Gimenez has until January to prove that he should stay at AC Milan, even though the 24-year-old only joined from Feyenoord for €28.5 million last January. In another report, Gazzetta states that the Rossoneri are looking for goal scorers and Gimenez could be involved in a swap deal for Roma's Artem Dovbyk. Milan are also interested in Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee, Strasbourg's Joaquin Panichelli and Eintracht Frankfurt's Jonathan Burkardt.

FC Barcelona will enter the transfer market for a new centre-forward in the summer of 2026, as Robert Lewandowski's contract expires at the end of the season. As things stand, there are no plans to offer a renewal to the 37-year-old forward and rope in a replacement, with several names being considered as possible targets. Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland remain the dream options, but are considered out of reach given the club's financial situation.
