Deadline day key events
Lewandowski replacement: Barcelona 'determined to land' goalscoring machine
Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Newcastle United's Alexander Isak, viewing the Sweden international as the ideal long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
The Catalan giants are planning to move for a new number nine this summer; Jonathan David had allegedly been a major target, but the La Liga outfit appear to have now cooled their interest in the Lille forward.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Isak is viewed as the club's leading target, with the 25-year-old developing into one of the best forwards in European football during his time at St James' Park.
Isak has scored 15 goals and registered four assists in 22 appearances for the Magpies this season, while his overall record for his Premier League club stands at 50 goals and nine assists in 89 appearances.
Man United to miss the boat? Red Devils 'suffer major blow' in pursuit of 'top January target'
Manchester United have reportedly suffered a major blow in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani, with Aston Villa potentially emerging as the favourites for the France international.
PSG are believed to be determined to land Jhon Duran from Villa, with a transfer potentially taking place before the end of the January transfer window, which could see Kolo Muani move in the opposite direction.
According to the Daily Mail, PSG are confident that they can convince Villa to let Duran leave, but Villa are likely to insist that Kolo Muani is included in the switch, which could see Man United miss out on the Frenchman.
The report claims that Villa value Duran in the region of £80m, with the 21-year-old in excellent form this season, scoring 12 goals in 26 appearances, including seven goals in 18 outings in England's top flight.
Matic back in the Prem? Latest transfer news and rumours today!
Former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic could reportedly be offered a route back to the Premier League by newly-promoted Ipswich Town.
The Tractor Boys are currently on course to head straight back down to the Championship as they occupy 18th place in the top-flight rankings, albeit only adrift of 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers on goal difference.
Kieran McKenna reinforced the Ipswich midfield over the summer with the captures of Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste on loan from Manchester City and Napoli respectively, but according to Sky Deutschland, the East Anglia outfit are now eyeing a shock move for Matic.
The 36-year-old left England in 2022 following the expiry of his contract with the Red Devils, since when he has represented Roma, Rennes and most recently Lyon.
Dortmund, Napoli 'serious contenders' for unsettled Man United star
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly making 'a concerted effort' to acquire Marcus Rashford, while Napoli are said to have emerged as genuine contenders to sign the Manchester United attacker before the end of the January transfer window.
AC Milan continue to be viewed as the favourites for the Englishman, who has seemingly been left out of the Man United squad for Sunday's FA Cup third-round fixture with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Dortmund have stepped up their interest, with the Bundesliga giants determined to win the race for his signature.
The report claims that BVB's strong relationship with Man United has placed them in a good position, with the deal potentially similar to the one that took Jadon Sancho back to the club on loan for the second half of last season.
