The penultimate full week of the January transfer window is officially here and clubs across Europe will be aiming to finalise deals over the next few days.
Below, FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 19 January, including the latest on Enzo Fernandez and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Chelsea willing to sell Enzo Fernandez
Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for Enzo Fernandez this summer amid growing rumours that he could leave the club in 2026, as per TEAMtalk.
The Argentina international is understood to be considering his future at Stamford Bridge following the departure of Enzo Maresca on 1 January and Paris Saint-Germain have already initiated contact with his representatives to gauge the possibility of a transfer.
Real Madrid are also interested in signing the 24-year-old and Los Blancos have reportedly received encouragement that a deal will be possible this summer.

Oleksandr Zinchenko deal close
Eredivisie side Ajax are close to signing Ukraine international Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has had an injury-hit campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest.
Zinchenko was signed by Ange Postecoglou but has twice been on the sidelines with injury, and by the time he returned to fitness, Sean Dyche was in charge of Forest.
With his prospects of game time looking scant, Arsenal are ready to recall the 29-year-old before sending him to Ajax, according to Sky Sports.
Man Utd meeting
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester United plan to hold transfer talks this week, which will include interim boss Michael Carrick.
The Red Devils have been linked with Wolves star Joao Gomes for several months and CaughtOffside reports that Man Utd have been drawn into action amid competition from Atletico Madrid and Napoli.
Napoli have agreed personal terms with the player, although a deal has not been reached with Wolves over a transfer fee.
Chelsea ultimatum
Chelsea duo Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo are reportedly set to be offered a transfer ultimatum following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.
Both players will have two years remaining on their current contracts this summer and they will either be required to sign fresh terms at Stamford Bridge or face the possibility of being sold.
That is according to BBC Sport, who claim that Chalobah and Tosin are set to reach a “crossroads” later this year.
