LIVE Transfer Talk: Barcelona want Chelsea's Christian Pulisic in January loan deal

The January transfer window could be the last one for Christian Pulisic.

The summer transfer window was different. Check out how we graded the biggest signings. The window is closed until January, but that doesn't mean the rumour mill won't keep going. The latest gossip and speculation is here.

The top story is that Barcelona is interested in several players.

According to a report, Barcelona are looking to sign the reigning champion of the EU.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Christian Pulisic are three names mentioned in the report that are of particular interest to them.

The first two of these names will be brought in by the Blaugrana in the summer, while the last one will be brought in on a loan in January.

Sergino Dest's USMNT teammate has struggled with injuries this season, which has impacted his prominence in a team boasting the likes of Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech.

Barcelona and Manchester City are both looking at the same player, with Barcelona looking at him as well.

With Azpilicueta facing competition at both right wing-back and right centre-back in Thomas Tuchel's system, it is felt that the Spanish player could be open to a departure from Stamford Bridge.

Things are different in the case of Rudiger, who is a starter in the Blues' backline, while his also is seen as the most complicated deal to complete.

The Germany international is demanding that Barcelona cannot afford his wages, with some of Europe's biggest clubs vying to sign him.

Barcelona would be interested in the player, but they think he will sign an extension with the club.

Where do the forwards rank?

LaLiga, MLS, FA Cup, more are included in the guide.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was dropped by the manager for the game against Saints.

A club source told ESPN that the incident that the player was not present for at training on Friday was not related to the documentary.

Arteta said that Aubameyang is missing due to a discipline violation.

He's not involved today because we have certain non-negotiables in the team that we have set ourselves as a club.

Arteta was asked if it was a long-term punishment. It's not an easy situation, and we want our club captain in.

The club captain has a contract until the end of next season.

According to Nicolo Schira, an official bid for Dejan Kulusevski will be made by the Gunners in January. The Italian giants are asking for between 30 million and 35 million for the Sweden international, who has managed just five starts this season.

With the agents of both Arthur and Aaron working on moves away from the club, the Turin side is looking to bring in another player. Denis Zakaria and Kone are the priority, while they also pay attention to other players. Nicolo Rovella could return from his loan spell early.

The new contract offer for Thiago Silva is being prepared. It is seen as a matter of time before the Brazilian signs his extension with the Blues, as he is loving life with the club and wants to stay.

AC Milan are hoping to get Yacine Adli back from his loan spell with Bordeaux early because of the upcoming African Cup of Nations and other injuries, according to Calciomercato.

Adli was part of the deal that he would stay until June 2022. The Rossoneri need him back for the crucial period between January 9 and February 6.
