€200m-rated superstar refuses to rule out future Real Madrid move, Chelsea to battle Manchester United for £100m Barcelona superstar, and more: Transfer Roundup, 20th January 2019

Welcome to Sportskeeda's daily transfer roundup.

We're well into the winter transfer window and as we begin to approach the end of the window, the sheer volume of transfer speculation has been overwhelming, to say the least. Today, as usual, a whole new set of transfer news and rumours have emerged, involving some giant clubs and superstar players.

Today's top stories feature heavyweight clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Manchester City, among others. They also feature some significant players from across the world who have been linked with potential moves away from their current clubs.

On that note, here is a look at the top transfer news, rumours and updates for the day:

Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi to reject bumper deal in favour of Bayern Munich move

Callum Hudson-Odoi is reportedly set to reject Chelsea's £85,000-a-week offer

Chelsea's academy graduate, Callum Hudson-Odoi has quickly become one of the most sought-after teenagers in world football and has subsequently drawn plenty of attention from other clubs. The 18-year-old is unquestionably talented but has failed to establish a permanent place for himself in Chelsea's starting line-up.

Under Maurizio Sarri, the Englishman has made 14 appearances across all competitions but has played only 61 minutes of Premier League football. As a result, he is reportedly keen on moving elsewhere in search of more first-team action.

According to the latest reports from The Daily Mail, Hudson-Odoi is reportedly set to reject a new deal from Chelsea that could see him earn £85,000 per week, as he seeks a move to Bayern Munich.

The 18-year-old and his team allegedly believe that the Bundesliga will provide him with the best chance at developing his game. As a result, money will not be sufficient to tie him down to a long-term deal.

Notably, Hudson-Odoi's current contract expires in 2020 and should Chelsea refuse to let him leave in the ongoing winter transfer window, the forward reportedly intends on hold out until the summer when a move to Bayern Munich will become more likely.

Real Madrid eye Manchester City's Bernardo Silva

Bernardo Silva reportedly sits at the top of Real Madrid's transfer wishlist

Real Madrid haven't had the best of seasons, as they currently sit third in the La Liga table, 7 points behind table-toppers, Barcelona. Resultingly, The Spanish giants will look to reinforce their side heavily in the summer transfer window as they will look to make amends.

As per reports from The Sun, Manchester City's Bernardo Silva is reportedly at the top of Real Madrid's transfer wishlist, as they are believed to be planning a £70 million move for the Portuguese star.

This season, Silva has been a crucial part of Manchester City's side and is allegedly being regarded by Pep Guardiola as the long-term successor to David Silva. However, Madrid are understood to be desperate to recruit the 24-year-old and are expected to test City's resolve in the summer transfer window.

Unai Emery wants to replace Mesut Ozil with James Rodriguez at Arsenal

Arsenal's Mesut Ozil has visibly struggled under new manager, Unai Emery, and has even been left on the bench several times this season. In fact, the German superstar has only played six full Premier League matches for the Gunners so far this season.

Now, Emery has reportedly grown tired of Ozil's presence and is understood to be keen on offloading him. If reports from The Daily Star are to be believed, the Spanish tactician reportedly wants to ship Ozil out and bring in Real Madrid's James Rodriguez (currently on loan at Bayern Munich) as his replacement.

James is currently approaching the last quarter of his two-year loan deal at Bayern, but the Bavarians are allegedly willing to let him go if Arsenal agree to pay the £3 million fee that Bayern owe Madrid for the next few months of James' loan deal.

Chelsea enquire about Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho

A return to the Premier League could be on the cards for Philippe Coutinho

Despite signing for Barcelona just last January for a whopping fee of £142 million, Philippe Coutinho has continuously struggled to establish himself at the Catalan club. Over the past couple of weeks, there has been intense speculation linking him with a move away from the club.

While Manchester United are believed to be interested, latest reports from The Daily Express claim that Chelsea have now made contact with Barcelona over a potential move that could be worth £100 million.

The Blues have reportedly requested Barcelona to keep them informed of any plans to offload Coutinho, and are willing to rival Manchester United in the race for the Brazilian superstar.

Kylian Mbappe leaves the door open for future Real Madrid move

Kylian Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the past

Kylian Mbappe is undeniably one of the best footballers in the world, despite being just 20-years-old, making him one of the greatest prospects for the future. Naturally, he has drawn the attention of some of the biggest clubs in the world.

Mbappe had previously been linked with a move to Real Madrid, although he chose to join Paris Saint-Germain instead. However, as per reports from AS (via Goal.com), the Frenchman was asked about a move to Madrid after he scored a hat-trick in PSG's 9-0 victory against Guingamp yesterday, and he seemingly left the door open for a potential move in the future.

Responding to the question, Mbappe reportedly said:

"I'm fine here, but in football and the future you never know. I'm very happy with how things are going for me at Paris Saint-Germain".

"I'm under contract until 2021 and so now's not the moment to think about anything else."

While he insisted that he's happy at PSG, his comments clearly left the door open ever so slightly for a move to Madrid in the future.
