Deadline day key events
Real Madrid 'facing major competition' for in-demand centre-back
Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera, with the Bundesliga giants potentially battling Real Madrid for his signature during this summer's transfer window.
Mosquera, 20, is thought to be one of the centre-backs on Real Madrid's radar, as Los Blancos prepare to sign a player in that area of the field at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
The Spain Under-21 international has made 22 appearances for a struggling Valencia outfit this term, but he has entered the final 18 months of his contract, and Los Che are believed to be struggling to sign him to an extension.
Real Madrid are believed to have had scouts watching Mosquera throughout the campaign, with the capital giants desperate to add a young defender to their squad at the end of the season.
January exit? La Liga interest in Barcelona defender confirmed
Girona sporting director Quique Carcel has revealed that his club are keen to sign Eric Garcia from Barcelona before the end of the January transfer window.
There has been a host of speculation surrounding the Spaniard's future during the winter market, with Girona, at one point, believed to be closing in on a permanent deal for the centre-back.
Garcia spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan with Girona, making 33 appearances in all competitions, playing a vital role in the team securing a historic third-placed finish in Spain's top flight.
The 24-year-old returned to his parent club over the summer, and he has featured on 16 occasions for Hansi Flick's side this term.
Oh no! Major blow for Barca confirmed as forward suffers injury against Getafe
Barcelona have revealed that Spanish attacker Dani Olmo is facing a period on the sidelines with the "right soleus strain" that he suffered during Saturday night's La Liga contest with Getafe.
The 26-year-old, who was recently temporarily registered by Barcelona, was a second-half substitute against Getafe, featuring for the final 30 minutes of what proved to be a 1-1 draw in Madrid.
Olmo completed the match, but an injury for last summer's arrival has now been confirmed, and he will definitely be absent for Barcelona's Champions League clash with Benfica on Tuesday night.
The forward's availability past that point is unclear at this stage, with Barcelona revealing that "his return will be determined by his recovery".
Man United could help Chelsea sign 'top attacking target' in January
Chelsea are reportedly in talks with Borussia Dortmund over a move for Karim Adeyemi.
The 22-year-old has scored five goals and registered five assists in 12 appearances for Dortmund during the 2024-25 campaign, including two goals and three assists in nine Bundesliga outings.
Adeyemi missed a host of football in the first half of the season due to a muscular problem, but he has been back in the fold in recent weeks, last taking to the field as a substitute against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Friday.
Liverpool are also believed to be keen on the attacker, with a move to the Premier League thought to be on his radar.
Following Sancho's lead? BVB 'continue to hold talks' over Rashford deal
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly continuing to hold talks with Manchester United over a deal for Marcus Rashford which would see the attacker spend the second half of the campaign on loan at the club.
AC Milan's attention is currently in Manchester City's Kyle Walker, and the Italian outfit cannot sign both English players this month due to the post-Brexit rules in Serie A, which has seemingly seen them drop out of the race.
Dortmund's main competition appears to be coming from Barcelona, with the Catalan outfit thought to be Rashford's number one choice.
However, a switch to the La Liga giants is far from straightforward due to the club's financial issues, with room needing to be made in the budget, and as of yet, there is not thought to be an offer on the table.
Exit imminent: Man United attacker 'closing in' on Old Trafford departure
Real Betis are reportedly nearing an agreement with Manchester United over a loan deal for Antony.
The 24-year-old has only managed one goal in 13 appearances for the Red Devils during the 2024-25 campaign, while he has just 12 goals and five assists in 95 outings in all competitions since his arrival from Ajax.
Antony was a half-time substitute against Southampton in the Premier League on Thursday night, and his attitude and application has impressed Ruben Amorim since his arrival as head coach.
However, there has been a host of talk surrounding an exit for the Brazil international this month, and according to the Daily Mail, Real Betis are now close to signing Antony on loan for the second half of the campaign.
Latest January transfer news and rumours including Dele to Como
Como have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Dele Alli, with the playmaker preparing to pen a contract with the Italian outfit until June 2026, with the option of a further season.
The former England international has been without a club since leaving Everton last summer, but he has been training with Como of late.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Dele is now preparing to pen a contract with the Italian team until June 2026, but there will be the option for a further campaign, based on appearances and availability.
The 28-year-old started his professional career with MK Dons before making the move to Tottenham Hotspur, and he was once regarded as one of the best attacking talents in world football.
Wolves closing in on signing Portuguese midfielder?
Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly closing in on the signing of Vitoria de Guimaraes midfielder Manu Silva.
The West Midlands outfit have made a relatively encouraging start to life under Vitor Pereira, recording three wins and one draw from their six matches in all competitions.
However, back-to-back 3-0 defeats to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United in the Premier League have left Wolves on the brink of dropping back into the relegation zone.
Even with Mario Lemina having been reintegrated back into contention after apologising to Pereira for his recent conduct, Wolves are known to be in the market for a second centre-back despite having already acquired the services of Emmanuel Agbadou.
AC Milan press ahead with move for Chelsea attacker amid Rashford talk?
Chelsea have reportedly received a proposal from AC Milan for Joao Felix.
The Portugal international only returned to Stamford Bridge in the summer, completing a £46.3m transfer from Atletico Madrid.
At the time, Felix was in favour of a return to life in London having previously spent a loan stint with the Blues, but he is yet to claim a regular place in Enzo Maresca's starting lineup.
Seven goals have been scored in his nine starts and 10 substitute outings in all competitions, the majority of his minutes being accumulated in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Conference League.
Tchouameni replacement? Real Madrid 'considering move' for La Liga midfielder
Real Madrid are reportedly huge admirers of Athletic Bilbao's Mikel Jauregizar, with Los Blancos giving serious consideration to making a move for the midfielder during this summer's transfer window.
The 21-year-old came through the youth system at Athletic, with his breakthrough season at first-team level coming last term, when he made 10 appearances in all competitions, including seven outings in Spain's top flight.
Jauregizar has been an important player for his Basque side this term, meanwhile, making 22 appearances, scoring once and providing one assist in the process, and he is believed to be on the radar of a number of major clubs.
According to Fichajes, his form 'has not gone unnoticed by Real Madrid', with the Spanish giants said to have 'closely followed his progression for some time'.
Arsenal 'edge closer' to £51m signing after Arteta's "very short" transfer claim
Martin Zubimendi reportedly has a '100% agreement' with Arsenal over personal terms, with the Real Sociedad midfielder set to make the move to the Emirates Stadium during this summer's transfer window.
The Spain international turned down the chance to make the move to Liverpool last year after the Reds had activated the €60m (£51m) release clause in his contract.
Zubimendi has again been a vital player for Imanol Alguacil's side this season, making 23 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal and registering two assists in the process, and he has a contract with his Basque side until June 2027.
However, this campaign is set to be his last with La Real, with the La Liga team said to be planning for his departure.
Rashford or Walker? Will Milan make a move for wantaway Manchester stars?
AC Milan advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic has argued that signing Manchester City defender Kyle Walker would not go against the club's vision despite his age.
Walker had been previously linked with moves to teams such as Bayern Munich in 2023, but it appears that the Englishman's time at the club will be coming to an end after Pep Guardiola announced the defender had asked to leave earlier in January.
AC Milan have been credited with an interest in the 34-year-old, but reports suggested that the Italian outfit also held an interest in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
Speaking to DAZN, Ibrahimovic talked about the possibility of signing Walker, saying: "Everyone knows that Walker is a great player, he has done great things at City. When there is someone like him on the market there is a lot of interest. He doesn't go against our vision, because he's strong, he's a leader, he has dominance in the locker room. Now we are checking if it is possible."
