11:10am - Juventus step up Zakaria chase

Fabrizio Romano reports that Juventus are stepping up their efforts to sign Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria now.

He's out of contract this summer but there's hope of a last gasp agreement before the end of January. That could signal a willingness to allow Rodrigo Bentancur, who is wanted by Tottenham and Aston Villa, to leave the club on loan.


11:05 - UPDATE: Arsenal & Everton in Van de Beek race

Donny van de Beek's Premier League loan suitors still include Arsenal and Everton, 90min understands.

The Gunners have been admirers for a long time, as have Everton, and can't be ruled out of approaching Manchester United for the Dutchman. Whether he'd be allowed to go there is another story.

Crystal Palace are also keen.


10:45 - Atletico bid for Kamara rejected

Atletico Madrid have had a €5m bid for Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara rejected, 90min understands.

The 22-year-old is out of contract this summer and has a host of top European clubs preparing to make him an offer.


10:40 - Burnley move for Orsic off

Burnley's hopes of successfully fighting off relegation have been dealt a Mislav Orsic sized blow.

The 29-year-old had looked set to move to Turf Moor from Dinamo Zagreb, but the Croatian side have confirmed that Orsic will not be going anywhere - even though Burnley chairman Alan Pace travelled to Croatia on Friday to hold talks.

Bad news for Sean Dyche, that.


10:25 - What Diaz could offer Liverpool

  • 14 goals/5 assists in 18 Premeira Liga games
  • 2 goals in 6 Champions League group games
  • 32-cap Colombia international

More importantly, rotation options and lightening the workload on the likes of Sadio Mane!


10:15 - Juventus' new striker


10:00 - Barcelona confident over Morata

Barcelona are confident they will land Alvaro Morata on loan before the end of the window.

The Spaniard is expected to cut his loan spell at Juventus short now that they've signed Dusan Vlahovic, and Xavi is keen to bring Morata over to Camp Nou. Adama Traore is also closing on a move after completing a medical on Friday.


09:35 - DONE DEAL!

Inter have confirmed the departure of Stefano Sensi on a loan deal to Sampdoria.

The 26-year-old was previously a target for Antonio Conte and Tottenham, but will now spend the rest of the season helping Samp fight against Serie A relegation.


09:30 - Spurs in talks over Gil loan

Tottenham are in talks with Valencia over a loan deal for Bryan Gil.

The 20-year-old was a summer arrival in north London but has yet to start a Premier League game despite costing £25m. Sky Sports News note that Gil will only be allowed to leave if they can bring in a replacement before Monday's deadline.


09:25 - Man Utd to allow Van de Beek loan

Manchester United will allow Donny van de Beek to leave the club on loan, 90min understands.

The Red Devils had wanted to keep hold of the Dutchman despite his desire to seek regular first-team football elsewhere, but will now sanction a temporary move providing a loan fee is provided and his wages are covered in full.

Crystal Palace are among the teams trying to secure a deal.


09:00 - Gossip time

Read all the best gossip from yesterday and this morning here.


08:45 - Ekitike could yet move

In-demand Reims striker Hugo Ekitike could still leave the club before the end of January.

90min understands that communications with Newcastle have been ongoing despite a rejected bid earlier this month, while PSG are also keeping an eye on his situation.


08:30 - Arsenal striker update

It's all going on at the Emirates Stadium in terms of outgoings, with the futures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Eddie Nketiah up in the air.

Barcelona and Juventus are chasing a loan deal for out-of-favour Aubameyang, while 90min understands that Newcastle are pushing to complete a deal for Nketiah - who is out of contract this summer.

One thing's for sure, Arsenal, who missed out on Dusan Vlahovic, surely can't afford to lose both without bringing in a replacement...


08:20 - West Ham eye Raphinha

West Ham are one of a number of clubs interested in signing Leeds' star man Raphinha.

There's every chance that the Brazilian will sign and new improved contract at Elland Road - talks are already happening - but West Ham are monitoring him in case he's interested in a move to the capital.

European football would be on offer, as well as a healthy pay rise, and there's some substantial interest from around the continent too.


08:15 - Good morning!

Morning, welcome to the weekend and a potentially huge few days for transfers! Let's kick off with a reminder of the biggest stories.
