But once in a while big transfers are made outside of the plastic clubs. One such example is the free transfer of Edin Džeko to 2. Bundesliga leaders Schalke 04. Under the new sporting management of Frank Baumann, the club have managed to convince the 39-year-old former Manchester City player (and Bundesliga champion with Wolfsburg in 2009) to return to Germany for the first time since leaving Wolfsburg in 2011.

Arsenal are reportedly not prepared to sell defender Ben White in this January's transfer window despite reported interest from Everton. The Gunners are seemingly keen to keep hold of White, according to football.london, with Everton's interest also not yet confirmed anyway. White has been a key player for Arsenal down the years, though he's no longer the automatic first choice for Mikel Arteta's side.

Likewise, with the 2026 World Cup fast approaching on the horizon, many of England's biggest superstars are looking to shore up their spot in Thomas Tuchel 's squad to North America. With a number of spots still reportedly up for grabs, it has been suggested that a number of fringe English aces are looking to complete a January return to the Premier League.

Despite Xabi Alonso's side suffering another injury crisis defensively, the newspaper reports president Florentino Perez is not intending to sanction a major acquisition this month. The news will be a big disappointment for the club's supporters, who have had to watch as Madrid have struggled through to this stage of the season, churning out a series of average performances. They remain four points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona despite the weekend win over Real Betis.

Liverpool have received renewed encouragement in their long-standing pursuit of Marc Guehi, with the possibility emerging that Crystal Palace could be open to a January deal under the right circumstances. The Reds have admired Guehi for several months, having first attempted to sign him during the summer transfer window. At that time, Palace refused to sanction his departure after failing to secure an adequate replacement, effectively blocking the move at the eleventh hour. Liverpool remain firmly interested in bringing the 25-year-old to Anfield.

The January transfer window is now open, and already clubs are moving to bring in fresh talent for the second half of the season. Crystal Palace, for example, wasted no time in splashing 35 million on former Tottenham Hotspur man Brennan Johnson, who has already played his first Premier League game for his new employers. But all sides do not need to be as eager as the Eagles in tying up their business. Here's how long clubs have left to get those big-money moves finalised.

Real Madrid have joined the race for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, according to AS. The Spanish outlet reports that Madrid have been offered the player, but the transfer fee would need to be worth more than €70 million to land the 21-year-old. Madrid are interested and see the England international as the perfect alternative to Aurélien Tchouaméni in midfield, or to enable to play further forward.

The January transfer window is also open, but the club's front office has said more than once not to expect too much activity from the German Rekordmeister in the transfer market as sporting director Christoph Freund has expressed how pleased the club's hierarchy is with the current status of the squad.

"We work at the moment 24/7 for players," he said, "It's about decision making, it's about negotiations, it's about timing. We have some players in our mind but you have to be a little bit patient."

A lot has been said about Christopher Nkunku's future recently, and it now seems that the Frenchman may have made a decision about his AC Milan future. In recent weeks, there have been several questions about what will happen with the Milan strikers in January. Santiago Gimenez has been a potential candidate to depart, as has Nkunku, but it has seemed that the Frenchman would be the likelier departure.

Crystal Palace have stepped up their January transfer planning by submitting a loan offer for Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb, according to reports from the Daily Briefing. The move shows Palace's intent to strengthen Oliver Glasner's squad as they attempt to balance domestic ambitions with their ongoing European campaign. The Eagles are expected to be active in the winter window, largely due to the relatively small size of their current squad. While Palace's recent exit from the Carabao Cup has
