Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool set to sign Luis Diaz as Tottenham turn to Dejan Kulusevski

A lot can change in half a season. In the summer window Manchester City made Raheem Sterling available for other clubs and now they are reportedly determined to keep him.

ESPN report City are going to re-open contract talks with the England star who has found fine form since Euro 2020. This season his has scored seven goal in 19 league appearances, helping City to the top of the table.

But his dominance has been noted by other clubs with PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid interested in signing the player.

Christian Eriksen’s move back to the Premier League could be finalised within days, according to the Daily Mail.

Brentford have registered interest with the star and it is expected to get over the line. Eriksen hasn’t played football since his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. He had to have a device fitted which meant his contract with Inter Milan was terminated.

Earlier this month Brentford manager Thomas Frank said Eriksen deserves a return to the game. He said: “Something unfortunate happened to Christian and now things changed a bit. He deserves to play at the highest level and I hope he will.

“Under normal circumstances there would be no rumours with a club like us. I guess we should be flattered that there are rumours with a player of his qualities.

“It’s the same with all players out there – (Lionel) Messi, (Kylian) Mbappe, Eriksen.”

Tottenham are apparently working on a deal for Juventus midfielder Dejan Kulusevski.

Sporting director Fabio Paratici is said to be a big admirer of the 21-year-old Swedish international and is pushing to get a deal over the line before the deadline, according to The Athletic.

Spurs have endured a difficult month losing out on Luis Diaz and Adama Traore to Liverpool and Barcelona, respectively.

Sporting director of Borussia Monchengladbach Max Eberl has stepped down from his role after 13 years.

The chief has been at the club for 23 years after joining behind the scenes once his playing career had ended. He explained his reason for leaving: “I am drained. I am tired. I just no longer have the energy to carry on fulfilling this role in the way the club deserves.

“The club really tried everything to convince me (to stay). It opened all the doors for me, gave me every opportunity to gain time, to calm down, to continue. “But I have to draw the line. I have hit the point where I say ‘I have to get out, I have to take care.’”

This is the latest blow for the club who are struggling this season under new coach Adi Hütter.

Erling Haaland has had a number of clubs after him due to his stellar form in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dortmund.

Manchester City, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain were all circling to sign him in the summer but nothing came to fruition. However, deals may not have been successful in 2021 but It is clear Haaland could leave in the upcoming summer.

Dortmund are putting plans in place in case their star man does leave, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. It’s thought Gianluca Scamacca is at the top of their list and would cost them £37m to buy from Sassuolo.

The star has scored nine goals this season but with Haaland’s tally nearing 20, the German club may need to have other options.

Liverpool have rejected offers for Takumi Minamino from Leeds United and Monaco, according to the BBC.

Manager Jurgen Klopp is said to not want him to leave as he wants depth in all positions. The star hasn’t been getting as much game time as he would like which is potentially why the clubs thought he may be an option.

But Klopp wants to keep him so a deal in the January window is unlikely.

The rumours surrounding whether Paul Pogba will stay or go at Manchester United have been rumbling on for seasons.

But new reports suggest Paris Saint-Germain once again have the French international in their sights, according to L’Equipe. The club is potentially losing Kylian Mbappe this summer and Pogba could boost their squad.

However, other reports floating around today suggest Pogba’s United teammates Marcus Rashford may also be moving to Mauricio Pochettinio’s side.

PSG are looking to make a move, but which one isn’t yet clear.

Liverpool are flying a team to South America as they try to push through a late move for Porto forward Luis Diaz.

The Reds stole a march on Tottenham and Manchester United to agree a deal which will see them pay an initial £37.5million with a maximum of £12.5m in add-ons if the 25-year-old is hugely successful at the club.

Diaz was manager Jurgen Klopp’s first choice for a summer transfer but growing interest, specifically from United, forced them to move early.

As a result it is understood they will have people on the ground in Argentina when Diaz, who is set to play against Peru at home on Friday evening, arrives for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier in order to expedite proceedings.

However, there still remain significant hurdles to overcome, with a medical still a logistical issue as they have to be granted access to the player in between the two internationals and in enough time to be able to complete a deal before Monday’s deadline.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is reportedly set to go on loan for the rest of the season after disciplinary action has seen him unused.

The star, who was stripped of his captaincy for his actions, has two interested parties on the table - Barcelona and Juventus. Whether these deals would also include a buy out clause is yet to be seen.

It’s also uncertain which club will be able to seize the player.

In December, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said of Aubameyang: “I don’t establish my authority by being dictatorial or being ruthless. I just ask for one thing: respect and commitment.

“At this level, if I don’t get that I pack my bags and go somewhere else because that is the minimum I can ask for. I am sorry but I am going to expect that from everybody who works for the club.”

The rumour mill is always in motion when it comes to football but during a transfer window it goes into hyper speed.

This time it has spilled out a report that Matty Cash is going to move from West Ham to join Atletico Madrid. The Sun says the Spanish side are targeting a summer deal.

The club are looking for a replacement for Kieran Trippier, who moved to Newcastle. Madrid are thought to be willing to spend around £30m in the next window to get the move done.
