Welcome to 90min's rolling transfer news live blog this Sunday - where you can stay up to date with all the goings on as we enter the final stretch of the January window.
With just eight days remaining for teams to get their business wrapped up, there is a lot of work still to be done across the continent.
Although the likes of Newcastle have been active and are expected to have more incomings before the end of the month, January has once again proven to be a tough time to enter the market.
While some transfers seems far more likely than others, certain names have dominated the headlines this month. On Saturday, Diego Carlos, Antonio Rudiger, Joao Felix and Jude Bellingham were all in the news, with their respective futures uncertain.

12:50pm - Dele Alli left out of Spurs squad
Antonio Conte has left midfielder Dele Alli out of his Tottenham squad for the big London derby at Chelsea this afternoon.
There is just over a week of the transfer window remaining, and Spurs are open to the 24-year-old England international leaving on loan. 90min have previously reported that Newcastle may turn to Dele if they can't land primary target Jesse Lingard this month.
12:30pm - Ancelotti on Hazard's future
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has given a pretty clear answer about whether winger Eden Hazard has a future at the Bernabeu, amid continued speculation linking the Belgian to their mutual former side Chelsea.
"Hazard is in our plans for the next season, I can confirm."
That's that, then. Pretty definitely. We're sure he won't be dominating the headlines over the summer...
11:56am - Bayern make move for De Jong
A bombshell from Spain!
Bayern Munich could make a sensational move for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong this month.
According to Marca, Bayern want the Dutchman now and have already contacted the player's representatives to sound out his interest in a move. The next week could be decisive - however, a tense relationship between the two clubs is cited as a potential sticking point.
If they can't find a deal now, the Bavarian giants will try again in the summer.
11:42am - Newcastle trying for Bakker
Newcastle United have never been far from the headlines this month.
The Telegraph report the Magpies are working on personal terms in a move for Bayer Leverkusen's Dutch left-back Mitchel Bakker. It seems this is one deal the club's negotiators have made some progress on.
Manager Eddie Howe spoke once again about transfers following the win at Leeds.
“We will be active until the last day and we are looking to improve the squad, and it’s more important after these three injuries. We’re working.
“You saw the power of recruitment. Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood made huge contributions and, if you get it right, you can elevate the club to greater heights. We learnt there is a resilience in the players, they are fighting, and they have a belief we are not dead and buried. Hopefully that can transform our season.”
11:30am - National team job for Pep?
An interesting one coming out this morning...
The Netherlands will apparently make an audacious move for Pep Guardiola when his contract expires in 2023.
The KNVB see Guardiola as the perfect man to replace Louis van Gaal in the Dutch hot-seat in the future and bring back 'Total Football'.
Guardiola recently hinted he is undecided about his future.
“My decision [when to leave City] will be taken with the club. They gave me everything so I cannot betray them. Or do anything wrong to them. That would not be nice. Together we took decisions for me to come here and to extend the contract two times [until now] and it will be the same [in future]: it depends how they feel about me, how I feel myself in the club."
11:04am - Newcastle back in for Bissouma
Newcastle will hold fresh talks over Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma today - according to the Daily Mail.
The Mali international is rated at a hefty £50m - a hell of a lot of money to spend at this stage of the window and a complicated deal to thrash out in eight days.
Don't hold yer breath, Magpies.
10:42am - Eriksen set for Brentford
Christian Eriksen is set to make a sensational and beautiful return to the Premier League by signing for Brentford next week.
The Mirror report he will join the west Londonders within the next 60 hours, although he has been training with former club Ajax.
The Dane suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed on the pitch at Euro 2020 before having a defibrillator fitted to his heart. Rules in Italy meant Inter were forced to release him late last year.
10:20am - Arsenal closing in on Arthur
According to reports in Italy, Arsenal are nearing a deal for Juventus' Brazilian midfielder Arthur.
It seems there has been a breakthrough in talks with the Gunners willing to take him on loan for 18 months, rather than just six.
His agent is working on a deal and the player is willing to take a pay cut if it means playing regularly.
10:04am - Man Utd rejected chance to sign Alvarez
Could this come back to haunt them?
It's been revealed that Man Utd passed up the chance to sign prolific River Plate striker Julian Alvarez earlier in January - and now their arch rivals Man City are set to bring him in.
90min reported on Friday that City had agreed terms on a deal worth around £20m for the 21-year-old, who will remain in Argentina for the rest of the season before joining up with his new side in the summer.
With the forward's contract due to expire at the end of 2022, the player is said to have been offered to Man Utd earlier in the transfer window, but the Red Devils declined to pursue a deal.
9:27am - Ndombele talks ongoing
Talks are ongoing between Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain over a proposed return to Ligue 1 for Tanguy Ndombele.
The deal being discussed is said to be a loan, and Spurs are only willing to accept if PSG cover 100% of the player's wages.
The Parisians certainly have the money to do so, so this is one to keep an eye on.
9:15am - Chelsea & Inter eye Croatian
Chelsea and Inter have both been linked with a move for Stuttgart full-back Borna Sosa by Sky Germany.
The Blues are looking for wing-back cover for long-term injury absentee Ben Chilwell, while Inter want an attacking left-sided defender who can fit into their five-at-the-back system.
However, a January move appears unlikely, with Stuttgart in the midst of a relegation battle and a €30m price tag on the Croatia international's head. His contract also does not expire until 2025.
9:02am - Vlahovic left out of Fiorentina squad
An interesting update from Italy this morning...
Fiorentina goalscoring machine Dusan Vlahovic has been left out of the Viola's squad for their Serie A clash with Cagliari today, and the club have not explained why.
However, it is not clear whether this has anything to do with strong interest from Arsenal and Juventus... Fiorentina revealed before the match that two unnamed members of their squad had tested positive for Covid-19. Riccardo Saponara is the other player to miss out.
8:40am - Good morning!
It's Sunday 23 January - that means there are just eight days of the January transfer window remaining.
The pressure is on negotiators to get deals done ASAP.
