The January transfer window has closed over a week ago but that has not stopped speculation surrounding many players' futures.
Our friends at Football Whispers have scoured the continental press to bring you the latest transfer talk and big stories from across Europe.
Robert Lewandowski has tried to cool talk linking him with a summer move to Real Madrid. "I know the situation, I hear the same speculation every year," the Bayern Munich striker said. "These rumours do not interest me and I will not say anything more. I have no idea [where they have come from]." (Bild)
Eden Hazard, who has been subject of Real Madrid transfer talk, has failed to rule out a move to the Spanish champions, claiming Zinedine Zidane is his idol. When asked about the possibility of joining Real, he laughed and said: "In football, you never know. I'm happy at Chelsea and focused to the maximum on them." (Marca)
Germany boss Joachim Low is Real Madrid president Florentino Perez's preferred candidate to replace head coach Zidane should he be sacked. Other candidates on the list are Massimiliano Allegri, Jurgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino, Maurizio Sarri and Guti. (Mundo Deportivo)
Former Ballon d'Or winner Jean-Pierre Papin thinks Real Madrid should have brought in a striker in January given Karim Benzema's poor form. He said: "Personally, I would have signed a No 9, but that's my point of few. I think Madrid needed to strengthen what they've got there. Look at Benzema, he scored a lot of goals and now nothing's coming off for him. He doesn't even look dangerous, which is very strange." (AS)
When Inter Milan confirm the signing of Lautaro Martinez from Racing Club de Avellaneda in the coming days, the 20-year-old Argentine forward's buyout clause will be €120m (£105m). That will be higher than his future team-mate Mauro Icardi's, whose clause is set at €110m (£96.6m). (AS)
When Real Sociedad play Real Madrid on Saturday at the Estadio Bernabeu, the home side will be watching Alvaro Odriozola. Real are interested in the Sociedad right-back and want to see how he plays on the big stage. (Marca)
Paris Saint-Germain's teenage defender Kais Najeh, 15, is a Manchester City transfer target. Pep Guardiola's side recently scouted him during a U15 game between PSG and Lyon. City were also looking at a number of Lyon players as they try to snap up the best young talent from around Europe. Other Premier League scouts at the game were from Arsenal, Manchester United and Southampton. (RMC Sport)
Thiago Silva could lose his PSG captain's armband with Unai Emery considering giving it to Edinson Cavani or Marquinhos. (Le Parisien)
China boss Marcello Lippi believes Inter's lack of quality is catching up with them. The Nerazzurri were unbeaten for the first four months of the season but have now gone eight games without a win. "I understand the fans' unhappiness: even this season, after a great start, has been extinguished, deflated," their ex-manager said.
"[Luciano] Spalletti had created good psychological assumptions, but let's be honest, barring Icardi, who puts away 90 per cent of his chances, they have good players but not extraordinary ones." (Gazzetta dello Sport)
