Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Barcelona on Sunday, January 3.

The January transfer window is now open, with Barcelona continuing to be linked with a host of big names.

The future of Lionel Messi continues to dominate after he failed to engineer an exit in the summer, but the cash-strapped Spanish giants are understood to be considering reinforcements too following a poor first half of the season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news from the Camp Nou.

Sunday morning's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup:


Real Madrid 'close to agreeing four-year David Alaba deal'

Sunday's Barcelona transfer talk: Alaba, Wijnaldum, Messi

Real Madrid have reportedly emerged as the clear favourites to sign Bayern Munich defender David Alaba.

Despite remaining as a key player at the Allianz Arena, the Austria international has less than six months remaining on his contract.

The versatile 28-year-old is now in a position where he can hold discussions with any foreign clubs who are interested in his signature.

However, Marca claims that Real are now regarded as the frontrunners after offering Alaba a contract until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane is said to have given his blessing to a deal being negotiated with the player.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona have also been linked with the long-serving Bayern man.



Georginio Wijnaldum 'wants to sign new Liverpool deal'

Sunday's Barcelona transfer talk: Alaba, Wijnaldum, Messi

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is reportedly keen to stay at the club so long as a new deal reflects his importance to the team.

The 30-year-old has entered the final six months of his contract with the Premier League champions and is free to begin talks with other clubs should he seek a move elsewhere.

Barcelona - managed by former Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman - continue to be linked with a swoop for Wijnaldum, who has remained a key player for Jurgen Klopp despite the ongoing speculation over his future.

Now, 90min reports that Wijnaldum is enjoying life on Merseyside and wants to extend his stay, but the midfielder is holding out for a deal which he feels he deserves after being a loyal servant to the club.

While Klopp has talked up the former Newcastle United man as he remains an integral part of his plans, the powers-that-be at Anfield are supposedly reluctant to hand him the new four-year deal that he desires.

Wijnaldum has already made 23 appearances for the Reds in all competitions this season, scoring a solitary goal in the Premier League.
