Transfer news: The latest rumours from Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and all the top teams
BARCA WANT ERIKSEN
Barcelona are readying a shock January move for Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen, according to Don Balon .
Although they have been linked with Mesut Ozil and Philippe Coutinho, they believe the Denmark international could represent an effective alternative because his statistics are superior to those of his rivals. Not only this, they feel he has a strong margin of progression, too.
PEP EYES DEFENSIVE REINFORCEMENT
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has turned his attentions to Real Sociedad defender Inigo Martinez before the January transfer window, The Sun reports.
The ex-Barcelona boss feels that his side are a little light in the centre of their rearguard at present and sees the 26-year-old as a good option to bolster his squad. He could also offer an alternative on the left side of the defence, where Benjamin Mendy is presently a long-term injury victim.
SPURS SEE MASINA AS ROSE REPLACEMENT
Adam Masina could make the move from Bologna to Tottenham this January, according to the Daily Mirror .Spurs see the full-back as a potential replacement for Danny Rose, who continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United.
Mauricio Pochettino also wants to sign a young striker and is eyeing Schalke's Breel Embolo.
DORTMUND TO STICK WITH BOSZ
Borussia Dortmund are sticking with under-fire manager Peter Bosz due to a lack of alternatives, according to Bild .
BVB suffered a disappointing four-goal collapse against Schalke in the Ruhr derby, putting additional pressure on the former Ajax boss. However, CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and director Michael Zorc do not believe they can find a long-term replacement for the 54-year-old.
PSG LEAD MAN CITY IN ALEXIS RACE
Paris Saint-Germain lead Manchester City in the race to sign Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez in January, The Mirror reports.
The Chile attacker's current deal expires at season's end, and PSG reportedly hope to sign him to a pre-contract as they prepare for Neymar's potential move to Real Madrid next summer.
Man City and Bayern Munich remain interested in signing Alexis, though PSG have the resources to meet his demands for a substantial signing-on fee and salary.
SHAW SET FOR NEWCASTLE LOAN
Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw is set to get his career back on track by joining Newcastle United on loan, according to the Daily Mirror .
The 22-year-old has found himself down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and has played just four Premier League games so far this season. Rafa Benitez is interested in signing Shaw, but believes that a loan is a more viable option than bringing the England international in permanently.
REAL MADRID TO MAKE £80M MARTIAL BID
Real Madrid will make an £80 million offer for Anthony Martial next summer, according to The Mirror .
The 21-year-old striker has repeatedly voiced his desire for regular first-team football at Old Trafford, but has started just five Premier League games this term. Madrid are hoping to capitalise on his frustrations and lure him to the Spanish capital.
ARSENAL AND LIVERPOOL WANT DRAXLER
Arsenal are set to join Liverpool in the race to sign Julian Draxler from Paris Saint-Germain, The Mirror reports.
Liverpool have recently been credited with an interest in taking the Germany international on loan, but PSG are open to selling him. The Gunners have been linked with him in the past and are said to be planning on making an offer in January.
PARDEW CLOSES IN ON WEST BROM POST
Alan Pardew is on the verge of taking over as head coach at West Brom, according to the Express & Star .
The former Newcastle and Crystal Palace manager reportedly has held talks with the Baggies and is considered the front-runner to replace Tony Pulis, though the club has not yet made a final decision.
ARSENAL TO BID FOR LEMAR IN JANUARY
Arsenal plan to bid for Monaco playmaker Thomas Lemar in January, according to The Daily Mail .
The Gunners are expected to submit an offer well below the £90 million they proposed in August, with the Frenchman now more open to a move. Lemar would potentially be signed as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez or Mesut Ozil, who could leave the club this winter.
CAN AGREES JUVENTUS TERMS
Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has agreed personal terms with Serie A champions Juventus, according to Tuttosport .
The Germany international is out of contract at the end of the 2017-18 season, and negotiations for a new deal reportedly have stalled. Can will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with Juventus in January.
DORTMUND WANT MKHITARYAN BACK
Borussia Dortmund are interested in bringing Manchester United attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan back to the club, according to the BBC .
Mkhitaryan left Dortmund for United in a £30 million deal in the summer of 2016, but he has struggled for consistency during his time at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho has criticised Mkhitaryan for disappearing in games and now Dortmund are considering an approach to re-sign the Armenia international.
RONALDO TO OPEN PSG TALKS
Cristiano Ronaldo has told agent Jorge Mendes to open talks with Paris Saint-Germain, according to Spanish outlet DiarioGol .
The Portuguese is said to want either a wage increase at Real Madrid or the option to leave without incident at the end of the current season, requests that president Florentino Perez has no intention of granting.
As such, Ronaldo wants to keep his options open and PSG are believed to be the only side capable of being able to fund a move for the 32-year-old.
ROMA CONSIDER DARMIAN BID
Roma are considering a move to sign Manchester United full-back Matteo Darmian in January, according to Corriere dello Sport .
Darmian has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at United, and Roma view the Italy international as having the right credentials, technically and financially, to improve their squad.
SIMEONE WANTS PASTORE DEAL
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone wants to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Javier Pastore in the January transfer window, reports AS .
Pastore is unhappy with his current role at PSG and is also wanted by Inter Milan, but Simeone hopes to persuade his fellow Argentine to move to the Spanish capital in the New Year.
AUBAMEYANG SET FOR BVB EXIT
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wants to leave Borussia Dortmund in January after falling out with the club, according to Bild .
The Gabon international was suspended by the team for disciplinary reasons in early November and believes he has been unfairly treated at Dortmund. As a result, he is looking to seal a transfer away when the window opens, with BVB looking for at least €60m to let him go.
BARCA TO OFFLOAD THREE THIS WINTER
Barcelona will offload several players this winter before bringing in anybody new in, according to Sport .
Among those the club is willing to let go are Aleix Vidal, Andre Gomes, Denis Suarez, Gerard Deulofeu, Arda Turan and Paco Alcacer.
The Spanish giants are looking to cut their wage bill and clear some space among the playing staff before investing more money in the market, with Turan thought to be a sure bet to leave.
KAKA TO PLAY IN CHINA
While Brazilian star Kaka may be done playing in Major League Soccer, it seems his playing days are not yet done.
Corriere dello Sport reports that the 35-year-old will sign a one-year deal with Chinese Super League club Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng F.C.
REAL REJECT ARSENAL'S £40M BENZEMA OFFER
Arsenal's £40 million offer for Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has been laughed off by the Spanish side, according to a report from Diario Gol.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is a long-time admirer of the France international and the London side are looking to take advantage of Real president Florentino Perez's wish to sell him.
Arsenal will have to up their offer, however, with Real holding all the power in negotiations.
BARCELONA TO DITCH OZIL INTEREST
Barcelona are deciding whether or not to give up their chase to sign Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil, according to Sport .
The Catalan club were monitoring the Gunners star as his contract in north London runs to an end, but are worried his busy lifestyle could hinder his effectiveness on the pitch.
