  • The winter transfer window is a little over a month away, but that hasn’t stopped the rumours of various players potentially being on the move.

    Across the world of football, there remains plenty of activity and stories that have football fans talking.

    Here, we look at the latest transfer deals that could happen when the market reopens in January.

    ISCO

    Manchester City are keeping an eye on Isco’s situation at Real Madrid, according to Mundo Deportivo.

    The 26-year-old is yet to start under new boss Santiago Solari, and Madrid have not ruled out a sale next summer, especially with an eye to signing Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

    Isco was in impressive form last season, netting seven goals in 30 La Liga matches, and keeping Gareth Bale on the bench.

    Pep Guardiola has been an admirer of the Spaniard for a long time, and could pounce for the playmaker.

    CHRISTIAN PULISIC

    Chelsea look to have won the battle to sign the highly-rated Borussia Dortmund man, according to the Daily Mail.

    The American winger, who starred in the 3-0 defeat to England on Thursday, has attracted the interest of a host of European clubs in recent times and is set for a move to Stamford Bridge next summer.

    The 20-year-old would slot straight into the Blues attack due to his versatility, with him being equally effective as either a winger or in a more central position.

    The Bundesliga champions currently value their star player at around £50million and it remains to be seen whether any other Premier League club besides Chelsea is prepared to get near to that price.

    JAMES RODRIGUEZ

    James Rodriguez is set for talks with Bayern Munich over his future amid interest from Juventus, reports Corriere dello Sport.

    The Bundesliga giants, who signed the 27-year-old on an initial two-year loan deal from Real Madrid last summer, have a purchase option over the talent to sign him at any point during that period for a flat fee of €42m.

    But Juve are keeping tabs on the playmaker, in case the Bavarians do not exercise the option to secure his services at the end of the season.
