Barcelona youngster Jean-Clair Todibo set to join Schalke
Jean-Clair Todibo hasn't gotten much game time at Camp Nou.
20-year-old Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo is set to join Bundesliga side Schalke on loan until the end of the season. While he remains highly rated, there have been very limited opportunities for the youngster to feature in the starting XI since he joined the Blaugrana a year ago.
According to Bild, Todibo is currently in Germany and has taken a taxi to Schalke's home.

Watford want Udinese forward Ignacio Pussetto
According to Sky Sports, The Premier League club are already in talks with the Serie A's Udinese concerning 24-year-old Ignacio Pussetto. This deal could see Watford defender Marvin Zeegelaar go in the opposite direction and join the Serie A outfit. Notably, both clubs are owned by family members, and it is expected that this will ease the entire transfer process without too much trouble.
Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has reportedly picked Thomas Lemar as a transfer target in a bid to strengthen the Wolves attack.
Lemar has been on the radar for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, but his poor run of form at the Wanda Metropolitano will perhaps keep the Premier League heavyweights from chasing after the youngster.
Atletico Madrid will look to cut their losses and could offer Lemar on loan to Wolves, along with an option to make the move permanent for €40 million. Whether Wolves will make their move is yet to be seen.
Barcelona contacts Pochettino for managerial positionMauricio Pochettino has been contacted by Barca officials. The Catalan giants have faced two rejections so far from Ronald Koeman and Xavi Hernandez for the managerial role at the Nou Camp. Interestingly, the role is currently filled by out-of-favour coach Ernesto Valverde, and Barcelona has been unable to find a replacement so far.
However, the Blaugrana have reportedly reached out to former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, but no response has been heard from the Argentine.

Tottenham are close to sealing Gedson Fernandes long-term loan dealThe young Portuguese star could visit the UK today
Young Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes has chosen Tottenham as his preferred loan destination and will reportedly fly to London today or tomorrow to seal the deal with Spurs.
With terms for the 18-month loan finalised between Spurs and Benfica, it is expected that discussions on personal terms between the 21-year-old and his potential loan club will be hitch-free.
Xavi rejects Barcelona offer Xavi says no to Barca for the meantime. The news has been rife with reports of Barcelona reaching out to club legend Xavi Hernandez in a bid to bring him back to Camp Nou as manager. While the current Al Sadd head coach did meet with Barca officials, he has reportedly rejected their offer, and his reasons were simple enough: He didn't want to be rushed into making a hasty decision, and he didn't want to make things uncomfortable for current Blaugrana manager Ernesto Valverde.
While the Barca officials have returned home without their legend, all hope is not lost. Both parties are reportedly keeping open communication channels that could see Xavi manage Barcelona when the season runs out.

Chicharito to meet LA Galaxy today Javier Hernandez could move to LA Galaxy this January. According to reports, Javier Hernandez would be meeting with LA Galaxy officials today to discuss a possible contractual agreement. It is believed that the 31-year-old Mexican star sees Galaxy as a viable destination, and it remains to see whether both parties will agree to terms.
Prying Chicharito away from Sevilla could have LA Galaxy part with approximately €10 million, but the American giants won't mind. Having let go of their star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, purchasing Chicharito could be a worthy replacement to lead the charge upfront.
