The January transfer window is officially open and Premier League clubs are free to do mid-season deals to bolster their squads.

Manchester United are among the clubs hoping to be busy but facing Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) issues, which could complicate things somewhat for Ruben Amorim.

Another popular topic throughout the winter window will be the future of the Premier League's top scorer, Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian is out of contract this summer and is now allowed to talk to foreign clubs about a pre-contract agreement to join a foreign club in July.

Express Sport brings you all the transfer gossip and news below…

Mohamed Salah receives huge contract offer

PSG are “very keen” to sign Mohamed Salah and are prepared to offer the Liverpool talisman £414,000 (€500,000) a week to bring him to France.

This is what French journalist Romain Collet Gaudin says.

It reports that Liverpool are offering lower wages of £331,000 per week (€400,000) on a two-year contract.

But PSG would be ready to immobilize Salah for three years, offering him a longer-term financial guarantee.

It is unclear what will happen next, but the player, who turned 33 in June, has publicly stated that he loves Liverpool and would be happy to retire on Merseyside.

Barcelona's Dani Olmo problem

Dani Olmo has been in great form for Barcelona this season with six goals in 15 games – but he may have played his last game for the club.

Barca lost their appeal to sign him for the rest of the season.

The Spaniard was only listed until January as the club could not meet La Liga's salary cap restrictions.

The £51million summer signing has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave the Camp Nou for free if he is not registered, with Man United among those watching.

And worse now for Barca, Mundo Deportivo reports that Olmo can't just be loaned out.

The player must first be registered with a team before he can be loaned out and is also not available for the Champions League.

Ruben Amorim demands £80m move to Man Utd

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is demanding that Viktor Gyokeres be brought to Old Trafford from his former club Sporting.

This is according to the Daily Star, with Amorim apparently telling United bosses he wants the Swede as soon as possible.

Gyokeres has scored 26 goals in 24 games this season and has a release clause in his contract worth around £80 million.

Sporting president Frederico Varandas will not negotiate if United make a move in January – instead insisting the Red Devils pay that clause in full.
