"Chelsea and Manchester City are leading the race to sign 18-year-old Barcelona sensation Dro Fernández, talkSPORT reports. Sources have told ESPN that the attacking midfielder has informed the club of his desire to leave this January by exercising his €6 million ($7m) release clause. Borussia Dortmund are also keen on signing Fernández, who has made five first-team appearances this season and is highly rated by coach Hansi Flick."
"Bayern Munich could rival Chelsea for Rennes centre-back Jérémy Jacquet, Florian Plettenberg reports. While the Blues have stolen a march on their rivals by initiating direct talks with the player, Bayern chiefs continue to hold a very high opinion of him. Jacquet's transfer valuation, thought to be more than €50 million, could prove to be the biggest stumbling block for the German champions, however, especially if stays."
"Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta's camp held a meeting with Juventus on Friday, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 28-year-old is also attracting attention from several Premier League clubs, although no formal bids have been made at this stage. Talks between Mateta and Juventus over personal terms are said to have been "positive," with the Italian side hoping to sign him on an initial loan deal with a future obligation to make the move permanent."
