The January transfer window is open and teams across Europe are starting to make moves to strengthen while they can.
Our friends at Football Whispers have scoured the continental media for the latest news and transfer rumours.

Juventus transfer target Emre Can is '80 per cent' likely to join the Old Lady in January. The hold up is coming from Liverpool not wanting to sell the German international, who is out of contract in the summer. (La Gazzetta dello Sport)
Inter are also close to clinching the signing of former Chelsea midfielder Ramires from Jiangsu Suning. (Tuttosport)
Barcelona transfer target Philippe Coutinho is closer than ever to signing for the Blaugrana. Liverpool have given up any hope they had of keeping the Brazilian and are now negotiating with the Catalan side, who have made an offer of €150m (£132m) including variables. (Mundo Deportivo)
Meanwhile, Coutinho has told Liverpool he does not want to play for them again in case he risks an injury that may ruin his Barcelona move. (Sport)
Real Madrid transfer target Rafa Mir is set to leave Valencia for Wolves. Los Blancos made a bid of €500,000 (£440,000), but were outbid by the Championship side's €2m (£1.77m) offer. Wolves boss Nuno gave the 20-year-old forward his debut at Valencia back in 2015. (Marca)
