5 high-profile players who could move on loan in January

#3 Aaron Ramsey

A high-profile loan switch could be on the cards for the Juventus midfielder.

Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey is another high-profile player who could move on loan this winter. If rumours are to be believed, the Welshman is closer than ever to bidding farewell to the Allianz Stadium this month.

Ramsey has apparently reached the end of the road in Turin, with recent developments suggesting he is living on borrowed time at the club. The midfielder has found game time difficult to come by recently. He has made just five appearances for the Old Lady across competitions so far this season, which suggests he is surplus to requirements.

Rumours have it that the Welshman favours a loan switch back to the Premier League this winter. A return to Arsenal is said to be a possibility, while the likes of West Ham United, Liverpool and Everton have also been touted as possible destinations.

#2 Sergino Dest

Barcelona are reportedly open to selling the defender.

It is an open secret that Barcelona are looking to sell a few players to reduce their wage bill and raise funds for their transfer targets. Sergino Dest is one such player who could be jettisoned by the Blaugrana this winter.

According to multiple reports, the American right-back is being monitored by the likes of Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea. His former club Ajax are also said to be considering a loan switch for the defender if they lose Noussair Mazraoui this winter.

Meanwhile, even though Barcelona aren't disappointed with Dest's performances, they may not be averse to his departure. The Blaugrana reportedly believe they have a decent replacement for Dest, following Dani Alves's recent high-profile return to Camp Nou.

#1 Mauro Icardi

Lionel Messi's high-profile transfer to PSG could force Mauro Icardi (in pic) out of Paris.

Mauro Icardi lost his place in PSG's starting line-up following Lionel Messi's high-profile arrival last summer. The Argentine is allegedly not happy with being relegated to a bit-part role at the Parc des Princes. He is now ready to consider a loan switch away from the French capital.

Rumours suggest Icardi's former club Inter Milan could offer him an escape route from PSG this winter. Juventus, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also linked with loan swoops for the Argentine striker.

So far this season, the 28-year-old has made 20 appearances for PSG across all competitions, recording five goals to his name. Only time will tell if he will end up sealing a high-profile transfer from the Parc des Princes this winter.
