🔗 Share this article Concerning Marc Guéhi to Kenan Yildiz – Which Players Could Be on the Move during the winter Transfer Window? The winter transfer market is always a time of significant rumour and possible major transfers. Several prominent stars are being linked with moves out of their present clubs. Here is a look at some of the top names that could be on the move in January. A. Semenyo Despite Ghana's failure to reach the AFCON, this has left the player available, indications are an important transfer is imminent. This 25-year-old has a contract featuring a £65 million release clause applicable for a short period in early January. Latest developments indicate Manchester City are now the frontrunners for his signature. Other suitors such as Tottenham and Chelsea are said to have moved on to alternative targets, potentially opening the door for clubs like Manchester United or Liverpool to attempt a last-minute bid. M. Guéhi The England centre-back has continued to excel for Crystal Palace despite a summer transfer to Liverpool falling through. As his contract due to run out in the summer, this represents the club's final chance to secure a fee for their captain. Numerous elite sides, including Manchester City and multiple continental powerhouses including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, reportedly be interested. Yet, a January exit is considered difficult, especially given the coach's reliance on the player. B. Johnson This Welsh forward has found starting minutes hard to come by at Spurs this term. Although finishing as the club's leading goalscorer last season, Johnson has started just a small number of Premier League games. Reports suggest the North London club would be willing to consider a transfer for the correct valuation, believed to be in the region of £40 million. The Cherries are currently at the front of the queue, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace also showing an inquiry. Spurs rate Brennan Johnson at approximately £40m. R. Neves The Portuguese playmaker might be poised for a return to the Premier League after a period in Saudi Arabia. Still only 28, and with his agreement ending in the summer of 2026, he represents a possible bargain. Clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United have been linked with the former Wolves man. Furthermore, there are suggestions from Spanish media that he would be prepared to accept a reduced salary for a switch to the Spanish giants. Marc-André ter Stegen This experienced Germany goalkeeper is now as third-choice at Barça following the coach Hansi Flick. After lost his place and had an operation, a January departure seems highly probable. Aston Villa were initially linked as a possible suitor, but that option now appears unlikely. Instead, clubs from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are thought to be expressing curiosity in the 33-year-old. I. Toney The prolific England striker has continued scoring regularly in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League could enhance his dwindling chances of being in the England squad. However, securing a transfer poses significant hurdles. Al-Ahli do not wish to part with him, and his reported enormous salary make any agreement difficult. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton are all linked as interested parties. Ivan Toney was instrumental as his Saudi club to victory in the domestic cup final. Conor Gallagher This energetic midfielder drew widespread attention in the off-season but stayed at Atlético. Having limited starts in La Liga this term, he may be keen to find more minutes ahead of the tournament. Manchester United are strongly linked, and a return to Crystal Palace, where he excelled on a temporary deal, remains a possibility, although wage demands might be a problem. H. Elliott Despite starring and being named the best player award at the U21 Euros in the summer, this young midfielder has found it tough for minutes during his loan spell at Aston Villa. Unai Emery has confirmed the temporary transfer will not become permanent. Because of FIFA regulations regarding playing for two clubs in a campaign, a move back to his parent club before next summer appears to be the sole viable outcome. K. Yildiz This highly-rated Turkey attacker has been in excellent form for Juventus this season. As his current contract running down, many English clubs – such as Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool – are keeping tabs on the situation. Juventus are desperate to secure the youngster to a lengthy contract but are in a race to keep one of Europe's most promising young talents. Kees Smit This much-admired Netherlands midfielder has drawn comparisons to Kevin De Bruyne for his style of play. Following starring at the U19 Euros, he has broken into the AZ first team. The teenager is heavily expected to complete a big-money move this month. Newcastle United are believed to be frontrunners, but are facing stiff rivalry from Real Madrid for a deal priced at around twenty-two million pounds.
