Welcome to Sportskeeda's daily transfer roundup. As usual, we've seen plenty of rumours being thrown around all day and we're here to separate the best from the rest.

As all eyes are on the UEFA Champions League matches, a lot of work is being put in behind the scenes, where clubs are already preparing strategies and plans pertaining to their businesses in the upcoming winter transfer window.

A number of significant rumours have emerged today - ones that feature heavyweight clubs and fancied superstars. On that note, here is a look at the top transfer rumours, stories, updates, and news that have developed over the course of the day:


Chelsea eye Bournemouth's in-form Callum Wilson

Bournemouth have gotten off to a phenomenal start to the Premier League season as they currently sit 6th in the Premier League table with 20 points from 11 matches. A large portion of their success can be attributed to the form of their striker, Callum Wilson.

The 26-year-old has been on fire, having scored 7 goals and assisted 4 more, so far this season. As a result, the Englishman has reportedly made his way onto Chelsea's radar, as suggested by reports from the Mirror.

With Alvaro Morata's consistency unreliable, at best, and Olivier Giroud's efficiency lying predominantly in the form of a target-man, Maurizio Sarri is believed to have recognised Chelsea's need for another quality goal-scoring option - to alleviate the burden that seems to be falling on Eden Hazard.

The Blues have allegedly stepped up their scouting of the striker and may try and push a deal through in January, should he perform consistently until then.

Wilson is currently contracted until 2022, but that isn't expected to stop Chelsea from giving it a shot and prying him away from Bournemouth.

Amidst speculation that Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be headed to Real Madrid, or back to either Manchester United or AC Milan in January, the Swedish superstar has finally decided to open up about his future and answer the question once and for all.

Rumours had previously claimed that the striker would seek a short-term move away during the MLS off-season, while others that claimed he was looking for a slightly longer term to end his career.

However, as per reports from SkySports, Zlatan isn't interested in returning to Europe in January. Speaking about the matter, the 37-year-old said

"If I belong to Galaxy, I am a Galaxy player," Ibrahimovic said. "I don't go abroad and do these things - loan and this... I don't need that.

"I mean if I belong to one club, I stay in one club. I focus on that club and I give all my attention to that club, so that is not in my mind."

"But the club knows all my wishes and all my demands. It is up to them what they want. But they are positive and they have been very good to me. They have helped me and my family with whatever I need".

Inter Milan 'keen on' Manchester United's Anthony Martial

After struggling for a first-team spot at Manchester United, failing to see eye to eye with manager Jose Mourinho, Anthony Martial seems to have finally overcome his demons.

The 22-year-old Frenchman has seemed rejuvenated over the past few games and has scored 5 goals in his last 5 matches, becoming one of the key players in the side.

Martial was rumoured to have wanted an exit earlier in the summer but didn't get one. He seems to be thriving at the moment, but reports from The Daily Mail suggest that Martial is now being fancied by Serie A side, Inter Milan.

The Italian side are reportedly 'keen on' signing Martial, whose contract expires next year, although a clause in his contract will allow Manchester United to trigger a 1-year extension.

Real Madrid signed Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois earlier in the summer, subsequently forcing Keylor Navas to become the second-choice goalkeeper in the side.

According to reports from Don Balon (via Calciomercato), Navas isn't too pleased about the situation and is looking for a move away. The reports claim that the Costa Rican could be looking to follow in the steps of Cristiano Ronaldo and join Juventus.

It has been suggested that should Juventus actually move for Navas, he might cost them a paltry fee of around €15m. The reports also suggest that Navas has already begun to look for a house in Turin.

Paul Pogba's club history may soon resemble a yo-yo, according to reports from The Sun, which claim that Juventus have contacted Pogba's agent over a potential return to the Serie A giants.

Having signed Ronaldo earlier in the summer, Juventus are reportedly looking to step it up to the next level, and identify Pogba as someone who can help them with it.

The Old Lady are believed to be in constant touch with Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, as they attempt to take their former player back to Turin.

Pogba, 25, allegedly spent time in Juventus' dressing room after their Champions League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

While Juventus are believed to be extremely keen on the move, Pogba is also said to be open to it, despite publicly claiming that he's happy at Manchester United.

Notably, Pogba has been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona as well
