ASYD: However, the player's agent has denied the report and says the story is an 'invention.'

Mavropanos' agent also represents Borussia Dortmund defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos and has good relations with new Gunners chief scout Sven Mislintat.

Greek media are reporting that the 20yo central defender Konstantinos Mavropano is in London to finalise a move to #AFC. He will be loaned to Werder Bremen straight after.

Goretzka's agent, Jorg Neubauer, has reaffirmed this comment from Schalke's Sporting Director & said he is still discussing with a few clubs.

Antonio Conte says Chelsea must sign players before any leave.

"Our squad is not big. For this reason I think it's impossible to send on loan one player or to sell one player, if we don't take another player," he said.

"I'm very happy to work with these players, I trust these players. I don't see a problem. At the same time I understand if some players are not playing with regularity and want to play with regularity."

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has ruled out a move for Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini with recent reports linking him to a Stamford Bridge move.

When asked if he wanted to sign the Italy international, Conte said: "No, I must be honest. Giorgio is a fantastic player but I think he wants to finish his career at Juventus. I think it’s right for him to finish his career in this way.

"I try to give my opinion to the club and then the club has to take the best decision for the team. I’m only a coach. My main task is to work with my players, to improve them andthe team. Then if the club decide to ask me something about my team, I will try to give my opinion."

Coutinho will not be “fit” for the the FA Cup game on Friday vs Everton. On future: LFC’s tone has changed -it seems they are open to all the options. Sell now, sell now for the summer. Keeping him beyond then seems the very last option. But no offer from FBC has arrived... yet

Napoli are looking to sign Alejandro Grimaldo from Benfica, which could free up Faouzi Ghoulam to move. (Source - Record in Portuguese)

Reports suggest Napoli are negotiating with Genoa over a transfer for goalkeeper Mattia Perin.

Pepe Reina’s contract is up at the end of the season, and it doesn’t appear the Spaniard will be offered a new deal.

According to Il Mattino, the Partenopei are looking to close a deal for Perin in January, though he’d stay with the Grifone until the summer.

There’s already a draft agreement with Genoa worth around €10m, and Napoli hope to definitively conclude the deal in the coming weeks.

It seems there’s no doubt that Fabio da Silva will be leaving Middlesbrough in the January window.

The player himself has confirmed his farewell on Instagram, with manager Tony Pulis also saying he’s asked to leave the Championship club.

The request comes as something of a shock, because not long ago, the player had revealed to the Brazilian press that his wish was to extend his deal with Middlesbrough for a few more years.

Now without saying what has changed his mind, Fabio had a word with Globo Esporte on the first day of the year, and revealed that he already has some options to move in the winter market.

“I have already received some offers and I will start to see this now that the window has opened. That’s why I asked to leave,” Fabio told Globo Esporte.

“My agent will see the best condition for me to leave. I already talked to the manager, but the fans are not accepting it well.”

Fabio’s contract with Middlesbrough expires at the end of the season, so although he can already sign a pre-contract with any club, the Championship side must be dealt with in case he leaves now. But considering Tony Pulis’ words about his departure, it doesn’t seem like they will make it hard for the Brazilian to go.
