The January transfer window will open in less than two months and several major deals are expected to be completed across world football.
Below, FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours from 13 November, including the latest updates on Julian Alvarez and Matty Cash.
Julian Alvarez to Chelsea?
Chelsea are reportedly preparing a €150 million bid for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez as they look to beat Barcelona to his signature next year.
Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are both known admirers of the 25-year-old, while Chelsea have now reportedly joined the race to sign him, despite the fact that Emanuel Emegha will arrive at the club from Strasbourg in 2026.
This has been confirmed by Spanish publication Fichajes, who claim that Chelsea are even preparing a €150m offer for the Argentina striker, which would make him the most expensive player in Premier League history.

Matty Cash confirms next move
Aston Villa star Matty Cash has declared that he will complete a move to Polish club Legia Warsaw in 2029.
The Poland international has enjoyed a stellar start to the 2025-26 campaign and he was rewarded with a bumper new four-year contract at Villa Park in late October.
However, he has confirmed that “in four years” he will join Legia Warsaw.
Arsenal u-turn
Arsenal have reportedly made a transfer u-turn on Gabriel Jesus, with the Brazil forward now set to remain at the club in January.
The 28-year-old, who has been ruled out of action through an ACL injury for the past 10 months, has been heavily linked with a mid-season departure amid interest from Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Palmeiras.
However, Arsenal have now opted to block a January transfer in favour of keeping Jesus at the club, as per CaughtOffside.
Celtic want Evan Ferguson
Celtic are monitoring Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, who is on loan at Serie A giants Roma, with the Hoops targeting a possible January swoop for the Ireland international hitman.
According to 67 Hail Hail, Celtic are ready to renew their interest in Ferguson, who has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €20 million, after missing out on him last summer.
Transfer insider Graeme Bailey has revealed that the Irishman’s loan at Roma is expected to be cancelled in January, opening the door to the possibility of a switch to the Glasgow giants.
Chelsea want Adam Wharton
Chelsea have made Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton their priority signing ahead of the January transfer window, according to a report.
Enzo Maresca’s side are ready to challenge the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid for the England international star, who has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €62.1 million.
Wharton is Chelsea’s first choice, according to TEAMtalk, who report that Nico Paz of Como and Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo are also on their radar.
