The January transfer window is wide open and players are being rumored to be on the move, we bring you the peak of the bunch and we update as things happen.

 

PSG interested in Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly held a crisis talk with the manager and the club hierarchy and was subsequently left out of the club’s FA Cup win over Aston Villa on Monday night and this has fueled rumors of a potential move away.

Ronaldo has done his bit but the United ship is sinking despite the arrival of veteran Ralph Rangnick and PSG are believed to be launching an audacious bid to land the 36 year old Portuguese, that will be some coup but you won’t put it past PSG.

 

Liverpool to move for Kounde?

They have done it before and trust them to do it again if the gap opens up, Liverpool are believed to be eyeing a possible move for Sevilla utility defender Jules Kounde and they’re not afraid of his £75million release clause.

Real Madrid and Chelsea have kept tabs on the Frenchman in the past but Liverpool could see the Sevilla ace as the long term partner to Virgil Van Dijk as Ibrahim Konate continues to struggle at Anfield.

 

 

Antonio Rudiger favors Real amidst PSG interests

Chelsea will be the biggest loser if they let their spirited defender Antonio Rudiger leave on a free but as it stands, the German defender prefers a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid instead of PSG who have also shown interests.

Rudiger is in the final six months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and can consider contract talks with potential suitors now, reports have emerged that the German would rather a move to Spain to join Real Madrid and snub any interest from Paris.

 

Spurs reject Ajax’ bid for Bergwijn

In a swift development, Tottenham Hotspur have rejected a £15m offer from Ajax for their fringe winger Steven Bergwijn and are not going to let him go on the cheap.

The Spurs squad is lean at the moment with Antonio Conte needing bodies, the Dutchman has not seen lots of games this season but he helped the North London side in their league cup game against Spurs earlier in the year, he’s also been explored as a wingback, he’s available for sale but not for cheap.

Young and promising Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun is currently undergoing medical at London side Middlesbrough ahead of a loan move.

Balogun signed an extension with Arsenal last year, committing his future to the club but hasn’t featured in the senior team as he’d have loved, Arsenal would hope the youngsters feature well for the Riverside club to enable him command first team shirt next season
