Transfer news, FA Cup fourth round and more: football countdown – live!

















First up today we have news from our man in Itay. Surely Fabrizio Romano must be in need of a holiday after the month he’s had so far. Anyway …

“Edinson Cavani is now in advanced talks with Atletico Madrid. They promised him a contract until June 2022. He’s seriously considering this bid as the best he received – Man Utd and Chelsea are interested but at the moment Cavani’s priority is Atletico. Simeone wants him NOW, in January. If Atleti will find agreement with PSG (they ask €20m, first bid from Atleti was €5m and refused…), he can leave now. If not, he’s going to join Atletico as a free agent in January. So difficult for both Chelsea and Man Utd so… they’re trying with his agent. But more Atletico than EPL clubs at the moment, then we’ll see.”
