Manchester United are close to completing the signing of Bruno Fernandes from Sporting, Goal&nbsp;can confirm. The Red Devils have reached an agreement worth €55 million (£47m/$60m) with the Portuguese side, but bonuses could take that figure up to €80m (£68m/$88m). <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-reach-55m-agreement-to-sign-bruno-fernandes/15i39vtgus4pg17jkd7vd0w8e5" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Man Utd close in on €55m Bruno Fernandes deal

Red Devils near agreement with Portuguese side

Manchester United have turned their attention to Ivan Rakitic as they look to strengthen in midfield before the January transfer window closes. ESPN&nbsp;reports the Premier League side have enquired about the Barcelona midfielder, who is said to be available for around €20 million (£17m/$22m). However, the two sides are not close to an agreement at this stage and the Croatia star is said to be reluctant to move his family away from Spain.

Maxi Gomez looks to be the latest face in the sights of Manchester United as deadline day creeps closer, per <a href="https://cadenaser.com/emisora/2020/01/28/radio_valencia/1580213352_559826.html" target="_blank">SER</a>. The Red Devils have struggled to land their targets this month but now could turn to the Valencia man as their latest potential recruit. The&nbsp;Uruguay international only joined his current club from Celta Vigo last year.

Southampton defender Cedric Soares could be a late-window target for Arsenal, claims <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/01/28/mike-mcgraths-transfer-notebook-arsenal-consider-move-southamptons/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>. The Gunners remain in the market for reinforcements at full-back and a Portugal international on the books of a Premier League rival has entered the final six months of his current contract.

Chelsea are looking to piece together summer raids for Hakim Ziyech and Ben Chilwell, according to <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4042019/chelsea-want-to-sign-ajaxs-ziyech-leicesters-chilwell-this-summer-sources" target="_blank">ESPN</a>. While the Blues are keen to take a talented playmaker and England international left-back from Ajax and Leicester respectively, they appear set to miss out on Napoli forward Dries Mertens.

Barcelona are on the verge of bringing in Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes - according to <a href="https://www.superdeporte.es/valencia/2020/01/28/bruno-fernandes-valencia-sale-rodrigo/439451.html" target="_blank">Super Deporte</a>. Having already reached an agreement to sign Rodrigo from Valencia, the&nbsp;Blaugrana plan to send Fernandes on loan to Mestalla for the rest of the season after wrapping up a deal with his current employers. Manchester United have been chasing Fernandes in the winter market, but Barca are now well placed to win the race for his signature.

Blaugrana set to hijack Red Devils' move for Sporting ace

Manchester United&nbsp;are facing the prospect of making no new signings in the January transfer window despite earlier plans to add to the midfield and forward line. The Red Devils have been heavily linked with the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Erling Haaland, but top targets have either headed elsewhere or proven tricky to acquire. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-no-new-signings-january-transfer-window/4r31ski27bkt1qx8bpp4v8yzz" target="_blank">Read a full update on the situation at Old Trafford here.</a>

Tottenham have agreed a £27 million ($35m) deal for Steven Bergwijn, claims the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7937521/Tottenham-agree-27m-deal-PSV-sign-forward-Steven-Bergwijn.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>. The PSV forward is in the process of finialising a move to the Premier League, with Christian Eriksen heading out of Spurs to join Inter.

Spurs have reached an agreement to sign&nbsp;Steven Bergwijn from PSV for €30 million ($33m, £25m) - according to <a href="https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/403728097/psv-en-spurs-akkoord-over-bergwijn?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=ios_app&amp;utm_name=iossmf" target="_blank">Telegraaf</a>. Jose Mourinho and Daniel Levy held positive negotiations with the 22-year-old's representatives last week, and he is now set to complete a move to north London. Bergwijn has contributed five goals and ten assists to PSV's Eredivisie cause this season.

According to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-perform-alexis-sanchez-21371560">Daily Star</a>, Manchester United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward does not want to see Alexis Sanchez sold or loaned to another club and is willing to give him another chance at Old Trafford. Currently on loan at Inter, Sanchez has made only seven appearances this term after suffering a serious ankle injury earlier in the season. He has featured in their last three games, however, and is being reintegrated back into the team. Inter's loan deal for Sanchez did not include an option to buy and Woodward could demand a sizeable fee for him in the summer. Sanchez is under contract at Old Trafford until 2022 and, as things stand, he has been told that he will join United on pre-season.

Florentin Pogba remains keen on a move to England following a training stint with Charlton Athletic, says the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7938843/Florentin-Pogba-brother-Uniteds-Paul-keen-England-despite-Charlton-cooling-interest.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>.

West Ham have agreed a deal for Slavia Prague midfielder Tomas Soucek. David Moyes has said: "I'm hoping that he's in the middle of his medical just now. I think he gives us a lot of different aspects but more importantly he fits the profile of the player I want to bring to West Ham. "I said I want to bring young players but we also need experience too and I think at the moment, he helps with both of those. "He's captain of Slavia Prague, he's played defensive midfield but scored a lot of goals as an attacking midfielder too. "We needed a bit of it all, some cover, another midfield player, obviously goals, so at the moment he ticks a lot of boxes."

That agreement is due to&nbsp;keep the 29-year-old tied to the reigning Premier League champions through to the summer of 2023.
