According to The Times, Barcelona have raised their bid for Philippe Coutinho to £142 million, with the Brazilian midfielder rejecting the Reds' last offer and the two clubs are currently in talks through Philippe Coutinho's agent.

If the deal goes through, it will be the third most expensive transfer in world football, with Barcelona willing to make an offer totalling £142 million, of which £106 million is guaranteed payment and the remaining £36 million is a floating clause, which Barcelona made three offers last summer but were rejected by Liverpool.

According to The Telegraph, Manchester United have activated the renewal clauses in the contracts of Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Ashley Young, Luke Shaw and Blind, whose contracts are due to expire at the end of the season, and they are now said to have received confirmation letters from Manchester United.

According to Sky Sports, Everton are close to signing Besiktas striker Tosson, who will pay a transfer fee of £27 million to Besiktas for Tosson, and if registered in time, Tosson may even be in time for Everton's FA Cup tie against Liverpool.

Everton boss Sam Allardyce said: "After lengthy negotiations, all formalities are in the final stages and if he's lucky, he can complete the registration formalities before the cup starts. ”

There have also been rumours that Chelsea want to bring Carroll to Stamford Bridge, and Phillips said when asked: 'I don't know, so I can't tell you anything, we have to strengthen the squad now, for the ideal situation I always look at the long-term goals, but the state of our season needs to be targeted, we need to bring some players to help us. ”

According to Italian media reports, Liverpool midfielder Emre Can will move to Juventus on a free transfer this summer, and his contract with Liverpool expires at the end of this season, which means that from this month, he can discuss a transfer with other clubs.

According to French outlet RMC, Leicester City are expected to reach an agreement with Ligue 2 Ajaccio this weekend to bring in 22-year-old striker Fauseny Diabat, who has made 20 appearances for Ajaccio in all competitions this season, with three goals and one assist.

This year's Premier League winter was very different from previous years, with Virgil van Dijk joining Liverpool for £75 million on January 1, which was the follow-up impact of Neymar's transfer.

From the transfer of Neymar in the summer, he transferred from Barcelona to French giants Paris Saint-Germain for 222 million euros, and the result of this transaction, although Barcelona got 222 million in cash, it must buy more good players to make up for the team's image loss and regain its market influence.

Due to the price hikes of various teams, Barcelona's harvest in the summer is actually insufficient, and Barcelona's sky-high price to introduce a Dembele is not enough to satisfy Barcelona's supporters, so in the winter transfer window, Barcelona must buy another player, a sky-high transfer is bound to happen, Coutinho is Barcelona's target.

On the other hand, because Paris bought Neymar in the summer and loaned Mbappe, they are also facing pressure from UEFA's fair play policy, and need to sell some players to balance the books, and this year's winter transfer window, including Draxler, Pastore, Guedes, has been loaned in Valencia, Lucas Jr., Di Maria and many other players, are likely to enter the transfer market for more than 40 million euros and become the target of other giants.

In particular, these players are linked with some big teams, Lucas Jr. is said to have entered Manchester United's recruitment radar, Pastore is close to Inter Milan, and Draxler has the possibility of joining the Premier League or returning to the Bundesliga.

What's more, a deal in the transfer market can easily trigger a chain reaction, with Liverpool having already spent £75 million on Van Dijk due to Barcelona's keen desire to bring in Philippe Coutinho.

This is a testament to Liverpool's determination to rebuild, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent other clubs from starting their prices on the spot, but one Van Dijk is not enough to make up for the loss of Liverpool's midfield star who is likely to continue to strengthen their squad in the coming days.

Judging from the previous news, Lemar from Monaco in the French Ligue 1 and Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City in the Premier League have been linked with the Reds, and Liverpool may also bring Keita to the Premier League in advance by paying an additional fee, so that he can reunite with Mane as soon as possible.

If the transfers of Lemar and Mahrez follow suit, the ripple effect will be further amplified and eventually radiate to the entire European transfer market, which will definitely trigger an arms race this winter.

With around 26 days to go until the winter transfer window closes, some of the changes in this winter transfer window will greatly affect the quality of the teams, and may trigger a frenzy that follows.

It's not just the league, Manchester City, which aims to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, may also bring a gift to Pep Guardiola, and Sanchez, the favorite player he brought in for Barcelona in the past, is expected to reunite with his mentor in the Premier League.

Such a transfer has upset the balance of strength in the Champions League, and perhaps the radiation effect will be even more terrible in the future.

Facing the double pressure from Liverpool and Manchester City, Arsenal's current mood must be very complicated, Arsenal wants to suppress the direct rival of the fourth place in the league by competing with Liverpool for Lemar, and also find a way to keep Ozil, not let him also throw himself into the arms of his mentor Mourinho.

There is news that Arsenal plans to sign Pavon from Boca's 96-year-old striker for $37 million, which seems to be a very Wenger signing, but in any case, it also shows that Arsenal will not calm down in such a winter.

In the past few years, the winter window has always been from the bottom of the Premier League, due to the huge broadcast income of the Premier League, the Premier League platform in previous years has also brought out a lot of big money in the case of the giants without action.

If there is an arms race this time, it will inevitably bring more giant substitutes to leave, so the bottom legions of the Premier League will use their cheques to become the backup force of the giant competition? The winter transfer window seems to be quiet at the moment, but by the final week, it may bring a shock comparable to that of the summer window.

After 21 rounds of games, all teams are now in a state of fatigue and are preparing to bring in new players for the more brutal second half of the season, although Chelsea have always been in first place in the league and are now four points ahead of unbeaten Manchester City, but Kodic also deeply feels the lack of personnel in the team, especially at the back, and the midfield needs to be strengthened on both sides.

Fortunately, the tens of millions of pounds promised by the club are ready, and some players will be sold and a group of young players will be loaned out to work outside.
