, Will Man Utd finally land Fernandes and is Aubameyang quitting Arsenal for Barcelona? 11 transfers were all waiting for

WITH just days left in this winter’s January transfer window, time is running out for clubs to conclude their deals.

Christian Eriksen may have finally completed his move away from Tottenham, eventually joining Inter Milan in a 17million deal.

Will Bruno Fernandes finally complete his move to Man Utd

But there are still dozens of big names who have long been tipped for a move who are still at their current clubs.

Bruno Fernandes is the big one, with Manchester United fans growing restless as the on-running saga drags on.

We’ve taken a look at the biggest 11 names who were “certainties” to leave, but as yet, haven’t…

BRUNO FERNANDES

Age: 25

Current club: Sporting Lisbon

Linked with: Man Utd

ON, off, on again, off again… football fans, United aside, are actually getting bored of this one.

Fernandes has now said goodbye to Sporting fans more times than Graeme Souness has taken an unnecessary swipe at Paul Pogba – and that’s saying something.

The latest appears to be that Fernandes’ move is back ON – with the midfielder finally set to head to Old Trafford this month.

United are thought to be paying 46m up front, with a further 12m in add-ons.

For everyone’s sake, can this just be over, already?

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG

Aubameyang has reportedly agreed to join Barcelona

Age: 30

Current club: Arsenal

ONLY recently installed as Arsenal club captain after Granit Xhaka’s X-rated rant at fans earlier this season, Aubameyang is a shock transfer target for Barcelona.

Quique Setien is now without Luis Suarez – possibly for the rest of the season – after he suffered a nasty injury.

Now Barca want to raid Arsenal for Aubameyang – with the Gunners forward “keen” on a move.

However, they now face competition from Paris Saint-Germain, who are expected to lose Edinson Cavani – either this month or in the summer.

EDINSON CAVANI

Edinson Cavani is closing in on a move away from PSG

Age: 32

Current club: PSG

Linked with: Atletico Madrid, Man Utd, Chelsea

SPEAK of the devil… Cavani is out of contract at PSG in the summer, with the Uruguayan reported to have agreed to join Atletico Madrid in the summer on a free.

But with Chelsea and Man Utd desperate for striking reinforcements with proven quality, his head may have been turned, knowing he may now be able to escape Paris six months early.

Who will win the battle now in the three-way tug-of-war is unsure, what is certain is that he will leave before the end of this window…

PAUL POGBA

Paul Pogba could finally quit United for Real Madrid or Juventus

Age: 26

Current club: Man Utd

Linked with: Real Madrid, Juventus

LIKE Fernandes, the situation surrounding Pogba’s future at the club has been up in the air since last summer.

The French ace has missed most of this season through injury having publicly revealed he wants a “new challenge” in July.

Real Madrid were leading the race to sign the Man Utd star for so long, but now former club Juventus are thought to have overtaken them – thanks to his old ties with the club, including friends Paulo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado.

OLIVIER GIROUD

Olivier Giroud has emerged as a shock target for Barcelona

Age: 33

Current club: Chelsea

Linked with: Barcelona, Inter Milan, Aston VIlla

THE veteran striker is still France’s No1 choice – despite barely playing for Chelsea.

Giroud has featured just seven times in the Premier League this term, failing to score.

He appeared set to join Inter, but the Blues are determined to command a higher transfer fee than the 3.4m offered.

Aston Villa have now joined the race, with Barcelona shock candidates to sign him amidst their injury crisis.

MOUSSA DEMBELE

Man Utd and Chelsea are keeping tabs on Lyon striker Dembele

Age: 23

Current club: Lyon

Linked with: Chelsea, Man Utd

FORMER Celtic striker Dembele has been in fine form in Ligue 1 – and appears to be the subject of a straight shootout between Chelsea and United.

Lyon will be in no great hurry to sell their star striker.

But with both Premier League sides struggling for goals and depth in attack, they could fork out a huge sum to land Dembele – around 43m.

JAMES RODRIGUEZ

James Rodriguez is a target for a hoard of teams this January

Age: 28

Current club: Real Madrid

Linked with: Arsenal, Everton, Man Utd, Wolves

ONE of those players, like team-mate Isco, who seems to be constantly on the way out of the club – but never actually doing so permanently.

Rodriguez was shipped on loan to Bayern Munich between 2017 and 2019, but now could leave for good.

And FOUR Prem sides are in the running, with ambitious Wolves joining Carlo Ancelotti-led Everton in the hunt.

Arsenal could be offered the Colombian as part of a deal for Aubameyang, while he could be used as bait to sign Pogba from Man Utd.

PABLO MARI

ARSENAL technical director Edu arrived at Heathrow Airport with Mari on Saturday, with reports suggesting the Spaniard was set to undergo a medical.

But Flamengo have now claimed the Gunners “changed the terms” of their deal at the last minute, meaning the transfer could be off.

With yet another Arsenal defender going down injured – this time Shkodran Mustafi – the club could be convinced to do whatever it takes to sign Mari.

NATHAN AKE

Nathan Ake could move to Chelsea, Arsenal or Man City

Age: 24

Current club: Bournemouth

Linked with: Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City

CHELSEA have a 40m buy-back clause at their disposal should they move for the now-Bournemouth star.

But they face competition from Arsenal and Man City – both threadbare in defence this season due to injuries.

Ake is expected to move at some stage in 2020, whether that is in January or in the summer is the only real point of contention.

EMRE CAN

Emre Can is at the centre of a five-way battle for his signature

Age: 26

Current club: Juventus

Linked with: Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Borussia Dortmund, Everton

A WONDERFULLY talented player, Can is being held back at Juventus as he’s caught in a logjam of star midfielders.

Having signed on a free from Liverpool in 2018, Can could now be off – with a hoard of European giants chasing him.

Dortmund join Premier League quartet United, Arsenal, Spurs and Everton in chasing him this month.

STEVEN BERGWIJN

Steven Bergwijn is on the brink of a move to Tottenham

Age: 22

TOTTENHAM will beat United in the race to land the PSV winger after jetting in for a medical.

The Dutch star will land in London today to complete his move that is likely to continue into Wednesday.

Spurs and the Dutch side agreed a fee thought to be around 27m after the player pushed for a switch to Jose Mourinho’s side.
