Tiemoue Bakayoko looks set to join Adana Demirspor in the Turkish Super Lig on a permanent deal, according to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira.

He reports that Bakayoko's loan with Milan will be terminated and Adana Demirspor will sign the midfielder from Chelsea for free on a contract until 2026.

Chelsea will earn a percentage of any future sale.

Spanish outlet Relevo report that David Raya has rejected another new contract proposal from Brentford.

The goalkeeper's current deal expires in 2024, but his current decision not to sign new terms opens the door for a sale in the summer.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham are all interested.

Signed. Sealed. Delivered.

Leicester City have identified Leeds United's Jack Harrison as a transfer target in a bid to keep the club away from the Premier League relegation zone, according to The Telegraph.

They state that manager Brendan Rodgers is keen to add a winger and a centre-back to his squad before the transfer window slams shut.

Bayer Leverkusen are ready to sign Fran Garcia from Rayo Vallecano immediately by paying his release clause in full which is set at €10m, according to Relevo.

However, Real Madrid own 50% of his rights and have the right to first refusal. Hence, they can immediately sign him again for just €5m. Los Blancos are looking for options in the left-back position due to inconsistent performances from Ferland Mendy and if they wish to sign Garcia as a cover, they must act quickly.

Nottingham Forest are keen to sign Kaylor Navas and Roberto Gagliardini, according to Sky Sports.

Injury to goalkeeper Dean Henderson has forced Forest to look for options and PSG's Navas is on their shortlist.

They are also working to bring Inter Milan midfielder Gagliardini who will be a free agent in the summer.

Potter is excited to get hold of him and offered some insight into what the new signing will bring to the club.

"Noni is a young player, an exciting player, left-footed wide player that can give us balance and competition in that area," he told the club's media. "So he's looking forward to starting his Chelsea career and we're excited to have him. I think the supporters will really enjoy him."

Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo insisted that he remains focused on his current club and is not bothered about the approaches from Chelsea.

"I am focused now on Brighton. I am here, I’m playing every day. What happens outside doesn’t trouble me, nor does it take the focus away because I’m focused only on here," he stated.

Chelsea have made contact with Brighton and have asked if they’d be prepared to sell for £55m. However, the club has informed that they are not willing to part ways with the midfielder.

It has been reported that Milan Skriniar is set to join PSG in January for €20m. His agent, Roberto Sistici, claims that it was the club who put up the defender on sale last summer before the player rejected the renewal terms.

"The decision to put Skriniar on the market last summer was made by Inter, not by the player. The operation was interrupted and we were informed. Before Christmas, I told Inter that we did not accept their proposal," he was quoted by Marca.
