FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 6 November, including the latest updates on Tino Livramento, Levi Colwill and Marcus Tavernier.

Arsenal, City return for Livramento

Arsenal and Man City have continued to track Newcastle full-back Tino Livramento despite his injuries, Football Insider claims.

The 23-year-old has played just 78 minutes this season due to a knee issue, and his future is coming under scrutiny as he will enter the final 12 months of his contract in the summer. Newcastle will sanction a sale if they can't agree an extension.

This has alerted Arsenal and Man City, who are long-standing admirers of the England international. They could make a move for him even though he has repeatedly struggled to stay fit ever since he suffered an ACL tear in 2022.

Chelsea will open Colwill talks

Chelsea are ready to start negotiating a new contract for Levi Colwill, as per TEAMtalk.

The 23-year-old still has more than two years left on the deal he signed in 2023, but Chelsea are determined to hand him improved terms in order to nip any potential speculation over his future in the bud.

Liverpool attempted to sign Colwill in 2023 and have reportedly remained admirers of the England ace. Handing the defender a new deal will be one of Chelsea's top priorities in 2027.

Tavernier in demand

The same outlet also writes that Arsenal and Man Utd are among the clubs showing interest in Bournemouth attacker Marcus Tavernier.

The 27-year-old is one of the Cherries' most marketable assets and is generating significant attention. Tavernier was already chased by several clubs in the summer, but Bournemouth managed to keep hold of him.

Arsenal, Man Utd, Newcastle and Tottenham have compiled detailed reports on the Three Lions hopeful and could make a move. Arsenal, in particular, need reinforcements on the left wing.

Varela's price explodes

Monza have slapped a €40m-€50m price tag on in-form striker Gustavo Varela, A Bola reports.

The 21-year-old has bagged 11 goals in 10 matches for the Serie A outfit, which has seen him attract significant interest from the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Juventus and Napoli. Now, Barcelona are said to also be keeping tabs on him.

Monza have no intention of entertaining January bids for the Portugal youth international and have set a prohibitive price in order to deter his suitors. The Italians only paid €2.5m to sign him from Benfica this summer.

Merino set for LaLiga return?

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino is on the radar of Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club, according to Bilbao Hiria.

The 30-year-old is not a guaranteed starter for the Gunners in the Premier League and has mostly had to make do with Champions League appearances so far this term. Spanish clubs are attentive to his situation and seem to sense a potential opportunity.

Atletico Madrid could make a move as early as January, while Athletic Club may have to wait until the summer to see if European revenues will boost their coffers. Merino could cost €30m, which would make him the Bilbao club's second-most-expensive signing ever.
