The transfer window for Europe’s biggest clubs is open again. Transfer Talk has been scouring the world’s media and setting our correspondents loose to see who could be heading to/out of your club this month.
Giroud next to go from Chelsea?
Olivier Giroud has been in and out of the Chelsea team this season, and he could be eyeing a return to his homeland, according to Goal.
Gonzalo Higuain made his Chelsea debut this weekend, having signed on loan from Juventus until the end of the season, and this has meant Giroud remains backup at the club despite Alvaro Morata‘s impending move to Atletico Madrid.
The French striker has just one goal for the club in the Premier League this season, and has only made six starts in that competition.
However, Chelsea are likely to want to keep him until the end of the season as Higuain will not be able to play every game, and the club are still competing on four fronts.
Liverpool want Italian midfielder
Jurgen Klopp want to bolster his midfield options further next season with the signing of highly rated Italian Sandro Tonali, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 18-year-old Brescia midfielder is valued at around £30 million, but his value could rise as interest in him increases.
Roma, Juventus, and both Milan clubs have been tracking the Italy U19 international, and he looks set to move next summer.
Liverpool are likely to lose the likes of Adam Lallana, and possibly James Milner at the end of this season, so will be looking for new faces to replace them. Tonali would fit the bill, and give them a different option in the centre of the park.
Everton reject Gueye bid
Paris Saint-Germain have made an offer of £26m for Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye, according to RMC, and confirmed by Sky Sports, but the Merseyside club are holding out for more.
Marco Silva’s side were dumped out of the FA Cup by Millwall this weekend, and will now be looking to save some face in the Premier League where they currently sit 11th.
It might be too late in the window to sell Gueye, who is one of their better performers so far this season, but with a big enough offer they will surely be tempted to sell the 29-year-old.
The French champions have also been linked with Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure, but are likely to face a similar problem when it comes to signing the player, as there might not be enough time for the selling team to sort a replacement.
