Transfer digest: Juventus and Atletico targeting Noni Madueke, Liverpool and Real in the hunt for Paul Wanner, while Karim Benzema is having talks with Bayer players.

European giants are ramping up their efforts in the transfer market ahead of the winter window.

Atletico Madrid and Juventus are keen to secure a loan deal for Arsenal winger Noni Madueke, who also represents England, when the transfer window opens in January.

Meanwhile, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid have all joined the race for 20-year-old PSV midfielder Paul Wanner, who is also part of the Austrian national team, as the competition hots up for his signature.

Lazio have resumed talks with 33-year-old Argentine striker Mauro Icardi, who is currently a free agent following his departure from Galatasaray. With an eagerness to return to Italy, Icardi had previously attracted interest from Everton; however, Toffees boss David Moyes is taking his time before signing free agents.

In a notable development, 38-year-old Karim Benzema is on the hunt for a new club after leaving Saudi side Al-Hilal in the summer. The French forward has already had preliminary discussions with players from Bayer Leverkusen regarding a potential move to the Bundesliga.

Crystal Palace are looking to tie down 29-year-old England goalkeeper Dean Henderson with a new long-term contract in the near future.

Nottingham Forest are set to bring in 18-year-old striker Michael Noonan from Shamrock Rovers in January, with the Championship side expected to pay only basic compensation for his development.

Inter Milan are currently engaged in negotiations to extend contracts with 28-year-old wing-back Federico Dimarco and 32-year-old Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, as they aim to secure key personnel for the future.
