Newcastle United are just one of the teams negotiating with Inter over the potential signature of Valentino Lazaro, according to <a href="https://www.fcinter1908.it/calciomercato/lazaro-agente-esclusiva/">FCInter1908.</a> The Austrian only joined from Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin in the summer but could be set to leave already after playing just over 500 minutes across all competitions so far. Steve Bruce's side are keen on the right-sided player, who can operate in a deeper or more advanced capacity, but will face competition from other clubs for the 23-year-old.

Barcelona&nbsp;have signed&nbsp;Rey&nbsp;Manaj from Albacete for an initial €700,000, with the former&nbsp;Inter&nbsp;striker agreeing a&nbsp;contract until June 2023. The fee could rise by €2 million (£1.7m/$2.2m) in performance-based bonuses over the next three and a half years, with 22-year-old Manaj set to line up for Barcelona&nbsp;B in the Spanish third tier. After starting his senior career with Cremonese, the Albania international – who has a €50 million (£42.7m/$55.5m) release clause in his&nbsp;contract at Barcelona – moved to Inter but made just six appearances for the club during a four-year stint that included loans to Pescara, Pisa and Granada. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/former-inter-striker-manaj-joins-barcelona-for-700000/2d0c2159f9nk180j10io1yhna">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Ajax&nbsp;midfielder Donny van de Beek has insisted that "nothing is official" with&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;at the moment, as he continues to be touted for a switch to the Spanish capital. Los Blancos are thought to be&nbsp;leading the race to sign the Netherlands international, with reports of a €55&nbsp;million (£47m/$61m) summer move to Santiago Bernabeu circulating with the January window now open. However, Van de Beek has denied agreeing to join the Blancos, with his current deal at Ajax not due to expire until 2022. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/van-de-beek-denies-agreeing-to-join-real-madrid/1egdlpoix4kqd1nvbmmh9m0t5a">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Cagliari are close to an agreement with Juventus to sign Marko Pjaca, reports <a href="https://sport.sky.it/calciomercato/2020/01/20/calciomercato-cagliari-pjaca-juventus-news">Sky Sport Italia</a>. Pjaca, 24, joined Juve in 2016 but has made only 21 appearances since then and had spells on loan at Schalke and Fiorentina. The Croatia international has suffered badly with injuries over the last few seasons and will be hoping for a fresh start in Sardinia.

MLS side Real Salt Lake have announced their decision to retain midfielder Kyle Beckerman for the 2020 season. Having joined the club in&nbsp;2007, the former USA international is an iconic figure at RSL. A veteran at 37 years of age, Beckerman is the league leader for&nbsp;MLS regular-season games played (488), games started (456) and minutes played (40,772) among outfield players. "Over the last 13 seasons, Utah has been home for me and I'm proud of Real Salt Lake's role on and off the field in building the soccer community here,"&nbsp;he said. "The fans have welcomed me from day one and I am eager to get back on the field for another season with RSL because there is still so much more to accomplish."

Sheffield United have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest to sign&nbsp;defender Jack Robinson, reports Mike McGrath of <a href="https://twitter.com/mcgrathmike/status/1219323445202358272">The Telegraph</a>. The deal is worth around £1m in total and is close to being completed. Robinson, 26, has made 19 appearances for Forest this season in all competitions. Facing the press earlier today, Blades defender&nbsp;Chris Basham not-so-subtly teased the transfer. "I just spoke with what could be a new signing downstairs and I've said the best thing about us is having a team around you," he said. "It's how we've done so well over the last few years... the impact of everybody coming off the bench and the impact of everybody around the club."

Mason Holgate could be in line for his first England call-up, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mason-holgate-line-first-england-21321163">Mirror</a>. Gareth Southgate and his staff have been monitoring Holgate over Everton's last three games and, despite&nbsp;an inconsistent return of one&nbsp;win, one&nbsp;draw and one&nbsp;defeat, they have been impressed with what they have seen. Holgate, 23, has excelled at centre-back recently but is versatile enough to cover several positions in defence and midfield. England play&nbsp;friendlies against Italy and Denmark at the end of March and, if all goes well between now and then, Holgate could be included.

Villarreal forward Karl Toko Ekambi has passed a medical at Lyon, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/mohamedbouhafsi/status/1219324918359379969?s=20">RMC Sport journalist ​Mohamed Bouhafsi</a>.

Barcelona have given an ultimatum to USA&nbsp;youth international Konrad De La Fuente over signing a new deal, reports <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4036704/barcelona-make-us-youth-konrad-ultimatum-over-new-deal-sources">ESPN</a>. De La Fuente, 18, has failed to agree new terms with the Blaugrana and was heavily linked with a move to Hertha Berlin last month. It was suggested that he was keen to link up with former USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann, though Hertha were not the only Bundesliga club with an interest. Barca are keen to hang on to the youngster and have now offered him&nbsp;an initial salary of €450,000 a year&nbsp;rising to €600,000 over the course of a three-year deal. If he fails to accept their offer, however, he could find himself frozen out for the rest of the season.

Newcastle left-back Jetro Willems has confirmed that he is out for the rest of the season after rupturing his ACL at the weekend. According to <a href="https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jetro-willems-out-rest-season-17596636">Chronicle Live</a>, his loan from Eintracht Frankfurt could be cut short so that he can return to Germany for treatment. Given that Paul Dummett has also been ruled out until the end of the campaign, Steve Bruce has admitted that Newcastle may need to enter the transfer market for cover. Speaking after Newcastle's 1-0 win against Chelsea, he said: "Because of what's just happened we are short in that area. We might have to do something in the short-term." <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <a href="https://t.co/CcNom7Y5ZD">pic.twitter.com/CcNom7Y5ZD</a> — Jetro willems (@JetroWillems_15) <a href="https://twitter.com/JetroWillems_15/status/1219308248781770752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 20, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Inter have made a second offer for Christian Eriksen worth £11m (€12.9m/$14.3m) plus bonuses, according to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11913634/christian-eriksen-inter-milan-raise-offer-to-tottenham-to-11m-plus-bonuses-for-midfielder">Sky Sports.</a> The Nerazzurri initially offered £8.5m (€10m/$11m), but were informed that the Dane's valuation was double that fee.

Mainz have agreed a deal with Dimitri Lavalee that sees the defender join for free at the end of the season from Standard Liege.

Lavalee has made just five league appearances and played in one Europa League game this term.

Manchester United’s recruitment in recent times has been “unforgivable”, says Gary Neville, with mismanagement at board level leaving the Reds Devils in a “mess” despite boasting the “second-highest wage bill in the world”.

Watford have joined Lyon in the chase for Hassane Kamara, reports <a href="https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-ol-watford-sattaque-a-kamara-reims-488940">Le10 Sport</a>. The 25-year-old left-back has become a transfer target after impressing with Reims this season. Watford are hoping to get a deal done in January, and Reims are open to the sale given the fact that Kamara joined for a very small fee&nbsp;in 2017.

Edinson Cavani has asked to leave&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;this transfer window, the club's sporting director Leonardo has revealed, adding that the club has already turned down an offer from&nbsp;Atletico Madrid. The&nbsp;Uruguay&nbsp;international has long been linked with a move from the&nbsp;Ligue 1&nbsp;champions to the Spanish capital, but has now officially sought to bring an end to his tenure in&nbsp;France. The striker has struggled with injury so far this term, reaping limited opportunities, as he has considered his future following a six-and-a-half year spell&nbsp;at the Parc de Princes. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/cavani-has-asked-to-leave-leonardo-reveals-atletico-madrid/13r47ab6rxbb31u97j8goncwb8" target="_blank">Read more here</a>

Espanyol are lining up a loan approach to Real Madrid for young star Reinier - before the teenager has even signed terms for the Spanish giants.&nbsp; Flamengo's prodigy is currently on international duty with the Brazil Under-23s, but is widely expected to join Real this month after celebrating his 18th&nbsp;on Sunday.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/espanyol/noticia-sport-espanyol-pedira-cesion-reinier-7812805" target="_blank">Sport</a>&nbsp;reports that the Barcelona outfit will attempt to take him for the rest of the 2019-20 season and the entirety of the 2020-1 campaign, as long as they avoid relegation.

Negotiations between Tottenham and AC Milan over&nbsp;Krzysztof Piatek have stalled, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7905681/Mourinho-left-11-days-sign-centre-forward-Spurs-desperately-need-Piatek-talks-stall.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>.&nbsp; The Poland international is seen both as a quality replacement for Harry Kane this season and, at 24, a player for the future. But a refusal to meet his £30 million ($39m) valuation has seen talks grind to a halt, with precious little time to bring in a new striker before the window closes.
