Juventus could land Liverpool midfielder Emre Can for just £5million next month, according to Italian newspaper Tuttosport.
The German midfielder is out of contract next summer and had appeared likely to depart Anfield on a free transfer at the end of the season.
However, Tuttosport claim that the Reds could allow Can to leave for a small fee in January if they are able to sign a replacement.
Cenk Tosun has touched down in England as he closes in on a move to Everton.
The Besiktas striker waved goodbye to supporters earlier this week ahead of an expected £25million move to Goodison Park next month.
Tosun took to Instagram on Sunday to share a photo of him and his partner in London, captioning the image 'everyone is good'.
Leon Goretzka will turn down a number of Premier League clubs to join Bayern Munich on a free transfer next summer, according to Bild.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham have all shown interest in the Germany midfielder, but he now looks set to remain in the Bundesliga.
Barcelona have watched Goretzka, while Real Madrid have also been credited with an interest.
Manchester City legend Richard Dunne believes his former club may accelerate their pursuit of Alexis Sanchez after suffering a double injury blow on New Year's Eve.
Arsenal star Sanchez had been widely expected to move from the Emirates to the Etihad on a free transfer when his current contract expires in the summer, but Dunne feels that City could now be willing to pay a fee to sign him sooner.
City's need for attacking reinforcements was heightened by Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne limping off during their 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.
SIMON JONES: Southampton are pushing to sign Theo Walcott on an initial loan from Arsenal.
The 28-year-old is eager to play more regularly but Arsenal are braced for a fresh bid from Manchester City for Alexis Sanchez which may influence their decision over allowing Walcott to go.
Everton have also asked about a loan while Watford, Bournemouth, West Ham, Newcastle United and Swansea City have also posted an interest.
SIMON JONES: West Brom have made enquiries about signing Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
The 24-year-old is on loan at Aston Villa and has interest from Crystal Palace and West Ham also.
United will sell for around £4million but Johnstone is playing regularly at Villa Park and would have to compete with Ben Foster at the Hawthorns.
Real Madrid are willing to let Gareth Bale re-join Tottenham - as part of a player-plus-cash deal for Harry Kane.
According to The Daily Star, the Spanish giants are ready to sanction a deal worth £150million next summer following Kane's fine form in 2017.
Bale, who moved to the Bernabeu from Spurs four years ago, also has interest from Manchester United.
Yannick Carrasco will not be leaving Atletico Madrid for the Premier League in January.
Atletico CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin told El Transistor: 'The idea with [Yannick] Carrasco is that he stays and becomes one of our main winter reinforcements.
'People speak from ignorance because it is easy to do it, but he has had knee problems and that’s why he has not had a good first half [of the season].'
Nike's online store has appeared to suggest Philippe Coutinho will imminently be moving from Liverpool to Barcelona after inviting shoppers to 'Shop Coutinho's look'.
The link - which doesn't actually lead to a page - appeared on the sportswear giant's official online Barcelona store on Saturday night in various languages.
Under the headline 'Where the magic happens', Nike tell fans: 'Philippe Coutinho is ready to light up Camp Nou. Get your 2017/18 FC Barcelona kit with the Magician's name on it.'
Enzo Zidane, son of Real Madrid boss Zinedine, is on the move after just four months at Spanish side Alaves.
The midfielder, who only left Real last summer, is making a free transfer to Swiss side Lausanne Sport next month.
Manchester United hope midfield star Paul Pogba can help persuade Juventus striker Paulo Dybala to sign for the club.
The Premier League side are intersted in adding the Agrentine to their squad and believe 'secret agent' Pogba can play a vital role.
The pair enjoyed a successful spell together at Juventus and became close friends while in Turin.
Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to 'fight for a move' away from Real Madrid as he has asked the club to sell him for £89million or less.
According to The Daily Record, Ronaldo's representatives have informed Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain that the player is looking to move, with £89million or less being the potential selling price in the summer transfer window.
The relationship between this year's Ballon d'Or winner and Madrid's club president Florentino Perez has deteriorated dramatically.
Diego Costa's move from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid may have gone through months ago, but the striker was unveiled once again on Sunday as he prepares for his debut.
Atletico's ban on registering new players comes to an end on January 1st, which means Costa could finally play in the Copa del Rey next week.
The Spain star was all smiles during his official presentation, holding up a home shirt with his name on the back before greeting fans at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Liverpool want West Ham's Manuel Lanzini to replace Philippe Coutinho, according to The Sun.
Barcelona are hopeful of completing a deal worth more than £100million for the Brazilian in January after failing to bring him to the Nou Camp last summer.
Jurgen Klopp is said to be an admirer of Lanzini, who is expected to cost over £40m.
With the January transfer window officially opening on Monday, clubs from England and across Europe will be ready to splash the cash on signings that will bolster their squads.
The window is set to be busy and it has already started in emphatic fashion, with Liverpool having already snapped up the £75million signing of Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk.
