Welcome to Sportskeeda's daily transfer roundup. You've surely come across several different transfer rumours, stories, news and updates over the course of the day.
Well, that's because a number of clubs are expected to do business this January, in the winter transfer window. Some, with the intention of recruiting some new players to reinforce their sides and fill in some spots, and some, to get rid of deadwood and narrow down on squad size.
Several big clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Chelsea, among others, have also found themselves being spoken about when it comes to today's transfer rumours. Amidst all the chaos created by the rumour mills, here is a look at some of the day's top transfer rumours, news and updates - Ones that you'd probably want to know about:
Bayern Munich emerge as favourites to sign Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey
Having previously been deep into negotiation talks until recently, last week, Arsenal stunned the world by telling Aaron Ramsey that he would not be handed a new contract, allowing him to leave the club at the end of the season.
Subsequently, a number of big Premier League clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United were linked to a potential signing of the Welshman. However, latest reports from The Sun suggest that Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, have now emerged as favourites to sign Ramsey.
Ramsey will become a free agent at the end of the season and will be allowed to join any club, but the report suggests that Bayern Munich have closely been monitoring the situation at Arsenal, and that the 27-year-old could very well play for the Bavarian club next season.
Bayern are rumoured to start negotiations at the start of next year.
Chelsea might have to pay £105 million for 18-year-old Joao Felix
Portuguese youngster, Joao Felix, who is being hailed as a teen prodigy, was promoted to Benfica's first team only at the start of this season. The 18-year-old has made just five appearances thereafter but seems to have caught the attention of Premier League giants Chelsea.
As per reports from the Mirror (via SkySports), Chelsea are planning a January move for the teenager, who currently has a buy-out clause of £45 million. However, the Blues could have to cough up a lot more for him, as the reports suggest that Benfica intend to offer Felix a staggering new contract next week, with a new release clause of £105 million.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic could end his career at AC Milan
With the MLS drawing to a close, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's time at LA Galaxy approaches an end, and according to reports from Calciomercato, the Swedish superstar might be headed to Italy for another stint with AC Milan.
Zlatan, who had previously played for AC Milan, is reportedly keen on returning, and even ending his glorious career in Italy. The Serie A giants are also believed to be very keen on bringing Zlatan back to San Siro, and could launch a move in January, offering Zlatan a short-term contract.
The only hitch in the matter is the length of the contract. While Milan are reportedly offering Zlatan a 6-month deal, the superstar striker is understood to want an 18-month deal, so as to end his career in Milan. Negotiations have reportedly begun, and will continue as both parties look to hash out an even deal.
Barcelona look towards Real Madrid target Harry Kane
According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona seek to find a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez and have reportedly identified Tottenham Hotspur and England superstar, Harry Kane, as the best option.
Kane was previously linked with a potential move to Real Madrid as a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The English striker is one of the best in business and is expected to cost more than £175 million. However, considering his age, skills, and experience, he would be an ideal long-term addition to either side, as another transfer saga promises to develop.
Real Madrid to battle Chelsea for Suso
A few days ago, reports from ESPN claimed that Premier League giants, Chelsea, were considering a move for AC Milan's playmaker, Suso. The former Liverpool star has become one of the best playmakers in Italy after failing to make a mark in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old is believed to have impressed Maurizio Sarri, thereby prompting Chelsea to consider him. However, latest reports from SkySports claim that Real Madrid have now entered the fray, having marked Suso as a potential replacement for the injury-prone Gareth Bale.
Suso has already scored 4 goals and assisted 7 more in Serie A. The Spaniard is currently on contract at AC Milan until 2022 but has a release clause of approximately €40 million. Both, Chelsea and Real Madrid, are believed to be willing to pay that fee as we find ourselves with another prospective transfer battle between two heavyweight clubs.
