Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Barca plotting Van de Beek swoop

Barcelona are plotting a January swoop for Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek - according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/movimiento-acercaria-beek-barca-12436573" target="_blank">SPORT</a>. The Spanish giants have been keeping tabs on the 24-year-old's situation as he continues to play a bit-part role in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans at Old Trafford. Van de Beek could be open to leaving in the new year, but Barca can only afford a loan deal due to their current financial problems.

Paris Saint-Germain could look for a way out of their contract agreement with Sergio Ramos, writes <a href="https://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/psg/psg-le-mystere-sergio-ramos-sepaissit-31-10-2021-N4DLUUPNR5D2BLGKLYZDJI5TXI.php" target="_blank">Le Parisien</a>. The centre-back, who was initially billed as a headline free-agent signing, has yet to feature because of ongoing injury problems stemming from his time at Real Madrid, and PSG are said to feel misled about his status.

He told&nbsp;TNT Sports: "They haven't told me anything, but I'm very calm because there is still a lot of time left.&nbsp; "Of course I want to renew, of course I want to stay here for a long time, but I am very calm with that, all at the right time.&nbsp;The contract I still have is the one from when I was 16 years old.&nbsp; "It does not matter when I am going to renew, how much I am going to charge or how much I charge, what matters is the satisfaction of being in the best team in the world."

The former Barca midfielder is the club's choice to replace Ronald Koeman at the helm of the team, but Al Sadd are reluctant to release him from his contract.

Juventus may be forced to sacrifice Weston McKennie to fund their desired moves for Dusan Vlahovic and Axel Witsel. <a href="https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/serie-a/juventus/2021/11/01-86731573/juve_vlahovic_o_witsel_ma_chi_parte_" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>&nbsp;says one of McKennie or Aaron Ramsey will have to be sold to create space in the squad and wage budget. But they believe it will be difficult to find a buyer for Ramsey because of his lack of playing time, whereas they could fetch around €30 million (£25m/$35m) for the United States international.

The results are not what we wanted but there is a long season ahead.”

Marc-Andre ter Stegen could become another high-profile departure at Barcelona, with <a href="https://www.elnacional.cat/es/deportes/pep-guardiola-ter-stegen-fcbarcelona-venta-revolucion_664181_102.html" target="_blank">El Nacional</a> claiming that Manchester City are keeping a close eye on the situation.

Arsenal and West Ham are vying for the signature of Real Betis midfielder&nbsp;Guido Rodriguez - according to <a href="https://www.fichajes.net/" target="_blank">Fichajes</a>. Mikel Arteta is eager to bolster his ranks in the middle of the park by bringing in the 27-year-old in January, but the Hammers are also weighing up a swoop. Rodriguez is still under contract at Betis until 2024, though, and it will likely take a bid of around €30 million (£25m/$35m)&nbsp;to prise him away from the Spanish club.

Celta Vigo missed out on signing Rayo Vallecano striker Radamel Falcao in the summer transfer window. The Colombian became available as a free agent after leaving Galatasaray, and Celta turned down the chance to bring him in due to La Liga's rules over registering too many non-European players. Celta Vigo boss Eduardo Coudet&nbsp;said in his latest press conference: "We already had our three non-European spots taken when we were offered to sign Falcao. He was willing to come to Spain making the same [financial] sacrifice as he has done for Rayo. But at the time we couldn't. "Had we had to pay him what he was getting in Turkey [with Galatasaray] we would have had to sold our new training ground to pay for it. But that wasn't the case."

Borussia Dortmund are ready to "fight" to keep hold of Erling Haaland&nbsp;according to the club's head of first-team football Sebastian Kehl, who says he'd "bet €100" that the striker stays put. Haaland is attracting attention from the world's best clubs after a stunning start to his Dortmund career, having joined the club from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020. Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have all been linked with the 21-year-old, who has hit 70 goals in 69 games for Dortmund, but Kehl is hopeful that he will remain in his current surroundings&nbsp;for the foreseeable future.

Arsenal are still keeping tabs on Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos - according to <a href="https://www.elnacional.cat/es" target="_blank">El Nacional</a>. The 25-year-old returned to Real in the summer after a two-year loan spell at Emirates Stadium, but has missed the start of the season through injury. The Gunners are keeping tabs on Ceballos' situation with a view to possibly bringing him back to the club in 2020.

Pep Guardiola is a&nbsp;keen admirer of the 21-year-old, whose current contract is not due to expire until 2024. City could move for Gouiri next year, but he will likely cost a lot more than the €7 million Nice spent to sign him from Lyon in 2020.

The French giants are eager to sign the 28-year-old on a free transfer when his current contract at San Siro expires next summer.
