Barcelona only want to loan out Jean-Clair Todibo in January, as opposed to selling him, reports <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20191223/472412157607/todibo-cesion-si-venta-no.html">Mundo Deportivo</a>. Todibo, 19, joined Barca from Toulouse last year but has only made&nbsp;five appearances for the&nbsp;Blaugrana&nbsp;since then. He has been linked with a permanent move to AC Milan and&nbsp;Bayer Leverkusen, among others, but it now seems that Barca are only willing to sanction a temporary departure. Barca still consider Todibo one for the future, though at the very least they want to increase his sell-on value. There is interest from Germany, Italy, England and France, though Barca want him to play European football as a minimum requirement.

Manchester United youngsters Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong are both open to leaving next year, according to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/12/23/manchester-united-pair-angel-gomes-tahith-chong-open-leaving/">The Telegraph</a>. Gomes and Chong are out of contract next summer and will be free to negotiate with overseas clubs from January onwards. Chong, 20, has only made six senior appearances this season, while Gomes, 19, has made four. Chong has attracted interest from Juventus while Gomes has been linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona, among others. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has championed their talent&nbsp;and losing them would be a source of&nbsp;frustration.

Hertha Berlin have entered into negotiations with Granit Xhaka after failing in their bid to sign Lyon midfielder&nbsp;Lucas Tousart, reports <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/mercato-lyon-a-refuse-une-grosse-offre-pour-tousart-1829311.html">RMC Sport</a>. Hertha submitted a €20m (£17.1m) bid for Tousart, which was rejected by Lyon. Despite the fact that OL are 12th in Ligue 1 and Tousart, along with the rest of the team,&nbsp;has come in for considerable criticism this term, the club is backing the 22-year-old and he looks to be staying put. That has seen Hertha turn their full attention to Xhaka, with Jurgen Klinsmann determined to sign a midfielder in&nbsp;January. Xhaka has seemed likely to leave Arsenal ever since his bust-up with the fans in October, while he knows the Bundesliga well from his time with Borussia Monchengladbach.
