Not expecting much in January, but any updates on players being looked at or players being allowed to move on ed?

Happy new year all.

{Ed002's Note - Don't expect much in January. Before the start of next season a GK, CB and versatile RW are the main priorities. In the perfect world Mr Mourinho would like Henderson, Skriniar and Sabitzer.

Dean Henderson (G) A potential HL replacement in the summer - he is interesting Spurs.
Milan Skriniar (CB) Expensive option - but first choice.
Merih Demiral (CB) His agent wants a foothold in the English market and has offered the player to Liverpool and Spurs - Juventus want €50M which seems too high.
Gian Marco Ferrari (CB) wanted as cover by Spurs and Inter.
Roger Ibanez (CB) Roma will buy the player on June 30 at the end of his loan - with Leicester, Spurs and Porto keen on taking the player then if Roma want to turn a profit.
Ozan Kabak (CB) has been of past interest to both Manchester sides, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich but the asking price has always been see as high, although it seemed to be something between €35M and €40M it will have reduced due to the pandemic and Schalke having financial issues. The interest of the Manchester sides went when he left Galatasaray for Stuttgart and he hit an age where he could never qualify as Home Grown in England - and that is something Liverpool should concern themselves with as well. I am not so sure he is the starter Liverpool have been looking for, but he will be cheaper than both Llorente and Diego Carlos and could still push Joe Gomez into the background. He is well thought of by Borussia Dortmund who wanted Tanguy Kouassi as a replacement for Toprak and Belardi but he moved to Bayern Munich resulting in their making an approach and being told he is not for sale - but their declared an interest will now have gone after his disgusting behaviour. Schalke say they have also been approached by Juventus and Leicester in addition to Spurs who also made an approach in the summer. A far better option for Liverpool than Mandi but Schalke, who were reluctant to sell, will let him leave after his five game ban and the huge backlash there has been over him spitting at an opponent from Werder Bremen at the time of the pandemic. A foul human being.
Ben White (CB) an alternative to Pau Torres for Manchester United, but seen as expensive because of the "English premium". Spurs have sustained interest but the funding will go on other priorities. Brighton will look to hang on to him.
Sami Khedira (CM/DM) Will be allowed to leave Juventus in January. The player says he is keen to work with Ancelotti again - it is unclear if Everton would look to him - makes little or no sense. Spurs may offer a solution for 18 months.
Lucas Vazquez (RW) Spurs were talking with Real Madrid in the summer as the price is seen as affordable but player wished to stay and has rejected a move to Qatar - but a new contract has not been agreed as was expected - Leeds and Milan might be interested. Much will depend on what happens with Gareth Bale.
Leon Bailey (LW/RW) A player who has had his mojo drifting away and Bayer Leverkusen are open to moving on this winter. Spurs are keen but want the price to drop further. Prior interest of Everton and Leeds has drifted away - Everton already being over loaded with players who are predominently LW and Leeds have preferred options. Arsenal may offer an option.
Paulo Dybala (AM/F) is available to sell or trade as the situation degrades further as again a problem with Paratici arises - but the club want to agree a new deal but scratch the clause which is causing the problem. The original issue that blighted contract negotiations would be an issue for potential buyers. The player is open to a move and may well have thrown away a year of his career. Available at €100M last summer, would need to halve to find a cash buyer.
Marcel Sabitzer (RW/AM/CM) RBL again expect approaches in January. Milan may try again to put a package together. Interest from Jose Mourinho at Spurs remains but a decision would need to be taken over Gareth Bale.
Gareth Bale (RW/F) Wages would be the issue.
Kyle Joseph (S) Sottish kid wanted for the U23s
Potential departures:
Hugo Lloris (G)
Paulo Gazzaniga (G) available in January
Danny Rose (LB) Spurs want to buy him out of his contract for half of the value that remains. Rose will be happy to become a Free Agent but wants the full amount paid up. Available in January.
Harry Winks (DM/CM) Spurs have told interested sides he is not for sale.
Gedson Fernandes (RM) will probably let him return to Benfica in January and pay up his loan - the loan has not worked out for anyone.
Dele Alli (AM) PSG are open to taking him on an initial loan in January - Spurs want him to see out the season and have no intention of letting him leave on loan.
Carlos Vinicius (S) Spurs are unlikely to take up their option and he will continue his journeyman ways.
