Barcelona rule out Alvarez deal - Thursday's gossip

Barcelona have ruled out a January move for Julian Alvarez, who is waiting to see if PSG or Arsenal bid or whether he stays at Atletico Madrid. Liverpool will not let Bayern Munich sign Florian Wirtz, with Bayern only considering a summer approach if Michael Olise rejects a new contract. Chelsea's main midfield targets are now Alex Scott and Adam Wharton, having dropped interest in Lamine Camara, while Aston Villa want to extend Emi Buendia's contract, Luke Shaw could leave Manchester United next summer, and Udinese are set to sign David Alaba.
