There are still around 10 days left in the January transfer window as clubs make one last push to improve their squads, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal all looking to make late signings.

There could be some high-profile departures from Old Trafford, with Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford both linked with exits, which could free up funds for Ruben Amorim to make desperately needed improvements to his squad.

Arsenal are still looking for attacking reinforcements following injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, with Mikel Arteta keen to bring in a striker.

Manchester City are hoping to complete their third signing of the month by completing the £67million signing of Omar Marmoush, while Liverpool are set for a quiet window at the top of the Premier League.

For all the latest news, rumors and updates throughout the transfer window, follow below…

Grenache sale could generate £180m budget

Manchester United can prepare for a spending spree next summer if they can negotiate a high fee for Alejandro Garnacho.

The Argentine striker's future at Old Trafford appears in serious doubt, with Napoli reportedly keen on a deal. The Serie A side have already had a £42million bid rejected, but are now reportedly preparing an increased offer.

While United fans are unhappy to lose such a talented prospect, the sale of Garnacho would be considered pure profit under the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Under the rules, if United managed to increase Garnacho's price to around £60 million, they could actually spend £180 million on players without being sanctioned.

Arsenal prepare big offer for Sesko

Arsenal are set to make a “big” bid to test RB Leipzig's resolve for Benjamin Sesko as Mikel Arteta attempts to sign a striker before the deadline.

The Slovenian striker is the Gunners' top target in January, although the German side insist he will not leave this month.

Sesko, 21, has reportedly reached an agreement with the Bundesliga side to leave this summer. But Arsenal want to speed up their timetable, according to The Mirror, and are preparing a major offer.

Arsenal have remained in contact with their German counterparts and are considered favorites despite growing interest in the striker, with the belief that a £60million bid could be enough to tempt them.

Chelsea reach deal with Juventus

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Juventus to loan Renato Veiga after weeks of negotiations with the Serie A giants.

The Portuguese, 21, will head to Turin on a back-to-back six-month loan deal, with the Old Lady paying £4.2 million up front to loan the versatile player, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Under the terms of the deal, Juventus will not have a purchase option in place, although Chelsea are reportedly willing to discuss a summer sale.

The player will then return to Chelsea at the end of June for the Club World Cup in the USA.

Man Utd improve Dorgu bid

Manchester United should improve their offer for Patrick Dorgu to get closer to Leece's valuation.

The Red Devils have had their opening bid of £23m plus bonuses turned down by the Serie A side.

But journalist Ben Jacobs reports that United are ready to increase their bid to sign Dorgu, who has become their main target.

Leece wants £33million for the 20-year-old full-back, although Ruben Amorim's side are confident they can secure a deal below that amount.
