  "account": "Manchester United made an inquiry about the availability of Ivan Toney, a 30-year-old England striker from Al-Ahli. However, their interest in Leeds' 29-year-old England forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin ended. Barcelona is closely monitoring Chelsea's Brazil winger Estevao Willian, with the potential for a move. Barcelona is also tracking the 19-year-old, and Spain midfielder Fermin Lopez does not wish to leave the club. Liverpool will likely see off Japan midfielder Wataru Endo, 33, and Italy winger Federico Chiesa, 29, next year. Crystal Palace's France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, 29, is expected to depart the club in January. Palace is uncertain whether to sell Mateta in the winter transfer window or retain him until his contract expires in the summer. Arsenal has maintained contact with Real Madrid over Endrick, despite the La Liga giants expressing no interest in letting their 20-year-old Brazil forward go this season. Arsenal also has an interest in Bournemouth's 20-year-old French forward Eli Junior Kroupi and Eintracht Frankfurt's 20-year-old Turkey attacking midfielder Can Uzun.",
