The transfer window may be closed until the end of the summer, but that hasn't stopped rumours of some of Europe's biggest clubs making mega-money moves for their primary targets.
Our friends at Football Whispers have scoured the continental media for the latest news and transfer rumours.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's time at Schalke appears to be over and it looks likely he will be on the move this summer. The 33-year-old is now behind winter signing Guido Burgstaller, Swiss sensation Breel Embolo and former Chelsea man Franco Di Santo in the pecking order. The 'Hunter' has scored over 120 goals for Schalke during his six years in Germany. (Bild)
FC Koln may have to part ways with their top goalscorer Anthony Modeste in the summer. The 28-year-old, who has 17 league goals to his name, is a target for a host of Chinese clubs and it is believed they are prepared to part with €40m to land the former Blackburn striker. (Kicker)
Memphis Depay is starting to play himself into form for Lyon. He didn't get on the scoresheet in Lyon's 4-2 win over Dijon but he did yet again catch the eye. He showed glimpses of why the club sanctioned such a big money move for him in January and it's promising for the club. (L'Equipe)
Barcelona's response to the 4-0 humbling at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain wasn't as convincing as many had hoped. The current La Liga champions beat Leganés 2-1 at the Nou Camp and needed a last-minute Lionel Messi penalty to walk away with all three points. However, manager Luis Enrique is safe for now according to club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
"We have agreed that we will talk in April, Now we are focused on our football and we will remain so until April. Right now we have the coach we want who has done very well and can give his attention to the team.
"There is no Plan B. We have a very united club and dressing room with great ambition." (Marca)
Zinedine Zidane revealed what he told Gareth Bale before bringing him off the bench against Espanyol. The Welshman returned after a three-month injury layoff to score the second in a 2-0 win for Real Madrid.
"Bale is a special player. All I told him was to go out and enjoy himself," said the Frenchman. (AS)
Gabriel Barbosa, nicknamed Gabigol, netted his first goal for Inter Milan since his €30m move from Santos in the summer. The Brazilian striker came off the bench to score the winner as Stefano Pioli's side beat Bologna to reclaim fourth place in Serie A. The 20 year old was overjoyed at getting off the mark for the club.
"I am very happy for this moment, for the first goal - even more so because it gave this important victory to us," he said in a post-match interview. "I waited for this moment, I worked hard, because I knew that in one moment I would score. This moment will never leave my head.
"I came to make history and never let my head drop. Let it be the beginning of a new history." (Football Italia)
The race for the Sporting Lisbon presidency is starting to heat up. The president of Sporting, Bruno de Carvalho, once again focused on his rival Madeira Rodrigues and his electoral campaign. He warned members and supporters that his opponent "is trying to sell the club" due to his trip to several Arab countries. (Record)
