With just a few weeks remaining before the opening of the January transfer window, there’s plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Bayern watching De Jong
Bayern Munich are keeping close tabs on Netherlands star Frenkie de Jong, reveals Sport.
The Barcelona midfielder was linked with a move away from the club in the summer but, despite his intentions to fulfil his contract until 2026 at the Camp Nou, it is reported that the LaLiga side are still attempting to persuade him to lower his salary.
That has alerted the Bundesliga champions to his developing situation. While they were unable to make a move for De Jong after they acquired Matthijs de Ligt for €68 million from Juventus in July, there is now hope that an approach for the 25-year-old could be possible.
It is understood that Julian Nagelsmann’s side believe Barcelona will be forced to part ways with him if they have not reached a new contract agreement by the end of the season, with Bayern optimistic that he would be open to making the switch to the Allianz Arena.
De Jong has remained an important part of Xavi Hernandez’s squad this season, making 20 appearances across all competitions.
