The deadline for English deals to go through is 11pm tonight, and some major moves are still expected to take place before that with plenty of big clubs seeking reinforcements or looking to offload players, and many big names expected to be part of that.
Deadline day key events
Could Casemiro ditch Man United for Ronaldo reunion this month?
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has reportedly attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League as the January transfer window rolls on.
The five-time Champions League winner could be one of a few standout stars from the Red Devils squad to depart this month, with compatriot Antony linked with a temporary move to Greek giants Olympiacos recently.
Casemiro has fallen down the Man United pecking order since the arrival of Ruben Amorim in the middle of November, taking the reins from FA Cup-winning boss Erik ten Hag after a troubling start to the 2024-25 campaign.
The former Real Madrid ace has appeared in just four of United's nine Premier League contests with Amorim at the helm, the most recent being the 2-0 loss at home to Newcastle United on December 30.
Chelsea's 'silly' offer for £55m-rated star set to be rejected?
Chelsea have reportedly failed with a formal offer for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
Ever since it was revealed last week that Wesley Fofana was sidelined in the long term, there have been discussions as to how the Blues will handle the Frenchman's absence.
While Chelsea have already recalled Aaron Anselmino from his loan stint with Boca Juniors, the young Argentine will not be considered for a first-team role in the short term.
Although 18-year-old Josh Acheampong was handed his first Premier League start against Palace at the weekend, head coach Enzo Maresca has seemingly indicated that he wants to find an experienced alternative to Fofana.
January transfer window: Latest news and rumours including Fullkrug to Serie A
West Ham United striker Niclas Fullkrug has reportedly emerged as a January target for Serie A giants Juventus.
The 31-year-old only joined the Hammers from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, but has suffered with injury setbacks and the poor form of the team across the board.
An Achilles injury kept Fullkrug out for around three months, meaning he has struggled to make much of an impact at the London Stadium, with his two goals for the club both coming as consolations in bruising defeats against Leicester City and Manchester City.
Therefore, Sky Sport in Italy claim that Juventus, a club who were showing interest in the player during the summer, are set to make an enquiry for the striker, with the Old Lady struggling for depth in attack due to the long-term injury troubles of Arkadiusz Milik.
"His quality is undeniable": Is Man City-linked Marmoush ready for next step?
Eintracht Frankfurt's in-demand attacker Omar Marmoush is ready to take the next step in his career in the hope of becoming a "superstar", Manchester City expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany had told Sports Mole.
The 25-year-old has been strongly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium since the January transfer window opened, with reports in his native Egypt claiming last weekend that the Citizens were set to sign him for around £50m.
Those rumours have since been denied by multiple European outlets and journalists, although it is now understood that Pep Guardiola's side have held preliminary talks with Marmoush's representatives.
Man United attacker 'offered surprise escape route' after 'rigorous' search
Out-of-favour Manchester United winger Antony has apparently been offered a shock escape route from Old Trafford by Greek giants Olympiacos.
The 24-year-old has been a huge disappointment since his £85m switch from Ajax in the summer of 2022 and has featured just 12 times for the Red Devils this season, scoring one goal in the 7-0 EFL Cup thrashing of Barnsley in September.
Antony has not even started a single Premier League game this season, only totalling 84 minutes from six appearances off the bench, and he was an unused substitute in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool at the weekend.
Man United still have the Brazilian attacker under contract until the summer of 2027, but the Red Devils are expected to cut their losses at the earliest opportunity given that he has shown no signs of reviving his career under Ruben Amorim.
Liverpool to replace Salah with £2.9m star who haunted Man City?
Liverpool have apparently added Feyenoord attacker Anis Hadj Moussa to their list of possible Mohamed Salah replacements following the Egyptian's latest contract admission.
Salah is now free to open talks with foreign clubs after entering the last six months of his deal and recently reaffirmed his view that this will be his final year at Liverpool unless he has reason to believe otherwise.
Liverpool remain desperate to keep the Premier League's current top scorer and top assister, though, and it was reported several weeks ago that they had sent his entourage their first proposal of a new deal.
There appears to have been little movement since then, but at the same time, there have been no concrete transfer offers for Salah, who is still thought to be the dream target for the Saudi Pro League.
Help for Haaland: Man City open 'preliminary talks' for 18-goal striker
Manchester City have reportedly held preliminary talks over the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush but will face two stumbling blocks in their pursuit of the Egypt international.
The Citizens did not directly replace Atletico Madrid-bound Julian Alvarez over the summer, meaning that Erling Haaland has been forced to shoulder the centre-forward burden by himself in 2024-25.
The Norway international has struggled to produce his best form with no backup option to take the weight off his shoulders, and he currently sits two strikes behind Mohamed Salah in the race for the Premier League's Golden Boot.
However, Haaland has still never gone three games without scoring a Premier League goal and boasts three efforts from his last two games, netting once against Leicester City before bagging a brace in the 4-1 thrashing of West Ham United at the weekend.
