Santiago Solari signed a three-year contract with Real Madrid last month but the feeling is that he is just a short-term solution.

Credibility: ★★★★☆

RUMOUR: PSG midfielder Rabiot reaches an agreement to join Barcelona (Le Parisien)

Rabiot becomes Paris' most hated man in just a week. His has no future at PSG by refusing to sign a new contract and will never play for them again.

It is no secret that Maurizio Sarri needs a true goalscorer at Chelsea, and he might turn to the former Napoli hitman Gonzalo Higuain.

Khedira's contract with Juventus still has two years to run but he is affected by injury problems and sees his position taken by Rodrigo Bentancur and Emre Can.

Nicolas Pepe is hailed as one of the best performers in Ligue 1 this season with 12 goals and 5 assists for 2nd-placed Lille.

The winger is quick in the feet and well known for his shooting prowess, but Arsenal must act quick since Chelsea and Tottenham are said to be interested as well.

Timo Werner → Bayern Munich?

RUMOURS: Werner drops Bayern Munich hint amid links with Bundesliga giants

Bayern Munich have a habit of signing top players from other Bundesliga clubs and you can understand RB Leipzig's Werner for having the temptation.

Credibility: ★★☆☆☆

RUMOURS: Bayern to pay €85m release clause for Lucas Hernandez in January (Marca)

Marca reports that Bayern Munich place a surprising €85m bid for Atletico Madrid's Lucas Hernandez, and Atletico are quick to deny the rumours.

Fee: €100m

Credibility: ★☆☆☆☆

RUMOURS:

Real Madrid 'join race' to land Ajax defender De Ligt (SER)

AND... A DONE DEAL!

Jeison Murillo → Barcelona

Fee: €1.2m for six-month loan

NEWS: OFFICIAL: Barcelona sign Valencia defender Jeison Murillo on six-month loan deal

It is just a short-term contract, although Barcelona have an option to sign him permanently for €25m.
