All the biggest transfer rumours and gossip from 29 January, as Liverpool and Manchester United get major updates over midfield targets, with Chelsea standing firm on Cole Palmer.
Morgan Rogers wanted by Liverpool
Liverpool are planning a sensational deal for Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers that will see the Anfield club smash the €100 million transfer barrier once again.
The Reds are seeking a midfielder who can provide them with a major scoring threat and the Villa star is someone they are closely monitoring.
While Arne Slot’s side have been linked with a move for Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, this is said to be wide of the mark.

Chelsea send clear Palmer transfer message
Chelsea have doubled down on their stance that Cole Palmer will not be leaving for Manchester United and that the player is happy at Stamford Bridge.
“Chelsea did their job in the Champions League. And don’t forget the message coming from Liam Rosenior after the match. In England, in the last couple of weeks, we’ve had many rumours about Cole Palmer being unsettled or having problems at Chelsea, he wants to play for Manchester United,” Fabrizio Romano explained.
“Before the game, Rosenior said Palmer is happy and untouchable but after the game he said, by himself, that Cole Palmer in the dressing room was looking like a very happy guy. The message coming from Chelsea is very clear: Cole Palmer is considered an absolutely key part of the project.
“There’s absolutely nothing ongoing in terms of contracts and problems. But things can happen. As of today, they have got zero coming from Cole Palmer’s camp.”
