There is still a lot of gossip about who is moving where, even though the January transfer window is closed. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest gossip and deals.

TOP STORY: Arsenal plan Coutinho swoop

Sport says that if the priority purchase option is not exercised by the Villans, then they will have to move quickly to acquire Philippe Coutinho.

The Villa Park hierarchy is yet to approve the funds for the -40 million clause in the player's contract, which is why Steven Gerrard is still trying to sign his former teammate on a permanent basis.

Barcelona want to move on the 29-year-old attackingMidfielder with plans to raise funds for other signings and hope to have a deal done by the time the international transfer window opens on July 1.

According to the report, the LaLiga club have no plans to lower their asking price should the Brazil international leave Villa, so the report suggests that the Gunners are prepared to pay the transfer fee and offer the player a long-term contract at the club.

Since joining on loan at Villa in January, Coutinho has four goals and three assists to his name.

According to Diario AS, the future of Dani Ceballos at Real Madrid is uncertain after he played an irrelevant role this season.

Ceballos missed the first half of the season with an ankle injury after spending the previous two years on loan at Arsenal.

Despite returning to fitness in January, he has barely featured, making just five brief substitute appearances for a total of 46 minutes in LaLiga.

The club are expected to look for a new club for the player this summer, as his contract at Real Madrid is unlikely to be renewed.

The financial package needed to get the player will change if the club stays in the league.

Raphinha was in great form for a while, but his performances waned in the last few months.

It will be easier for Barcelona to sign the player in the summer if Leeds are in the Championship. They have also been linked.

Barcelona are interested in Raphinha alongside Premier League clubs, including Liverpool [Chelsea wanted him, now in stand-by]. Barça already discussed about Raphinha with Deco. 🇧🇷 #FCB

No talks yet with Leeds - as price depends on their PL future and potential buy out clauses. https://t.co/iof4IPzMdB

The Sun is reporting that the back-up goalkeeper will not be allowed to move to another club next season.

A number of clubs in the English premier league are interested in the young goalkeeper who has impressed when deputising for Allison.

He will not be allowed to move on a loan for first-team experience just yet, though they may change their opinion in the future.

When their contracts end this summer, Adrian and Loris will be gone.

Negotiations for Barcelona to renew the contracts of Ronald Araujo are at a breaking point according to the journalist Ruben Uria.

Talks with their agents have failed to reach an agreement, with Barcelona said to be unwilling to match their demands.

A source at the club is quoted as saying that if the players want to stay at the club, they will.

The teen has enjoyed a great season at Camp Nou. He has earned international recognition with Spain and has established himself as a regular in the side.

Araujo is an important part of the backline. He joined the first team in his second full season after initially signing for Barcelona B from Boston River. He has been approached by several English clubs.

According to Calciomercato, a new club for Adrien Rabiot will be a priority this summer.

Three years ago, he joined the team from Paris Saint-Germain, but he has struggled this season.

According to the report, the club are eager to get his wages off the books, but there is no indication of which clubs would be interested.

According to the journalist, the father of Lionel Messi contacted Barcelona recently to talk about a return to Camp Nou.

Messi was jeered by Paris Saint-Germain supporters on Sunday after the French club was knocked out of the playoffs. The forward's father was considering moving back to Barcelona prior to the Bordeaux game, when he was booed by his own fans.

The situation at the Catalan club has been in the news recently after Messi left last summer. Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer because Barcelona couldn't afford to keep renewing his contract.

Not everything has gone as expected in Paris, where Messi has only scored two goals in 18 league games. He scored five goals in the competition, but failed to net in either of the games against Madrid, leading to fan complaints on Sunday.

According to Calciomercato, the man is likely to leave Inter Milan this summer.

Inter won the Scudetto last year thanks to the help of Vidal, who has been at the club for the past two seasons. He will be 35 years old on the last day of the season and even though he is contracted to the next season, he may be allowed to move on.

The report says that he still wants to win the premier league, but it is more likely that he will move to Flamengo. The move to work for the Brazilian club will require some financial concessions from Inter.

AS reports that Angel Di Maria is likely to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract this summer and go to Benfica.

According to L&Equipe, Di Maria has not been offered fresh terms by the club, and his representatives have been weighing up his options.

After moving to Portugal from Argentina, the winger went on to play for Real Madrid, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. His European career could be over soon.

Cesar Azpilicueta won't be available for a free transfer this summer because of a clause in his contract, according to a report.

Azpilicueta was due to be out of contract in the summer, but the deal has been extended after he played in the required number of games.

It means that Barcelona will have to pay a transfer fee in order to sign the Spain international.

PAPER GOSSIP

According to Ekrem Konur, Barcelona have identified Lacazette as a potential alternative forward option. With fees proving to be an issue in moves for the likes of Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak, Lacazette is seen as a more realistic option. The 30-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season.

According to Fabrizio Romano, AS Roma look to have completed talks for the signing of Mile Svilar. It is thought that the deal for the Benfica B goalkeeper will be announced before the end of the season, as the sides have been in discussions for the past month. Svilar made his Serbia national team debut in September.

Luka Modric has decided to stay at the Real Madrid. It looks as though the 36-year-old will soon sign a new deal at Real Madrid, despite being linked with a move back to Manchester City. Modric has made 32 appearances for the LaLiga side this season.

According to Calciomercato, Junior Traore is being watched by both Napoli and Juventus. According to the latest report, the club will receive contact from Naples this week ahead of a potential summer deal for the 22-year-old. His valuation is thought to be around 25m.

According to Foot Mercato, Lyon are keeping an eye on Aissa Mandi. The club hierarchy are looking for alternatives as the hopes of renewing teams with the club look uncertain. Mandi has impressed in LaLiga this season despite not being a regular starter, and the Algeria international would be open to a return to French football.
