Since the transfer windows clock began ticking on January 2nd, there have been various and on-going speculations of big transfers expected to happen during this window period. One thing we always know for sure is that the most shocking transfers usually surfaces within minutes remaining on window clock . So here is our compilation of the top ten biggest transfer rumors that could possibly happen this January.

1) Gareth Bale (Real Madrid to Manchester United)
Yes you read that right. Manchester United are currently offering £75 million for the Welsh-International. There have been reports that Bale have been reconsidering plans for his future at Real Madrid, after the sudden sack of Rafa Benitez. Other clubs are also bidding to acquire the current Madrid forward.

2) Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borrusia Dortmund to Arsenal )
This would likely be a tough one for Dortmund to let go off. Aubameyang is currently the highest goalscorer both in the Bundesliga and Dortmund this season with 18 goals (higher than any top-scorer of other major leagues). Arsenal has offered £60 million for the striker.

3) Odion Ighalo (Watford to Manchester United)
Third highest goal scorer in the Premier League and Watford's highest goal scorer of the season with 14 goals so far, may be leaving the club to join Manchester United as he was offered a deal from Man.U. Ighalo referred to the deal as a 'dream', to show how willing he is to accept the deal.

4) Isco Alarcon (Real Madrid to Manchester City)
Manchester City has showed interest in signing the Spanish international. If this signing is completed, Isco would be able to reunite with his former boss at Malaga, Manuel Pellegrini, who would be his present boss at Manchester City.


5) Sadio Mane (Southampton to Chelsea/ Bayern Munich)
Several clubs have shown interest in the Striker. Mane has been having an good season at Southampton so far even with 3 goals. However, Ronald Koeman, who is the current head coach of Southampton, is not willing to let go of their striker like he had said earlier (see here). On the other hand, Mane is keen on making a transfer.

6) James Rodriguez (Real Madrid to Manchester United)
James has not been getting much playing time as as he did, when he was just newly acquired by Real Madrid. There have been speculations that Real Madrid are willing to sell James to Manchester United. With Zinedine Zidane as Real Madrid's new head coach, this move may be uncertain because he recently said "all the squad will be important. James and Isco are great players, will be very important for me, the team, the fans, everyone."


7) Granit Xhaka ( Borrusia Mochengladbach to Liverpool)
The Swiss international midfielder has also been eyed by Arsene Wenger. But there is a higher chance of Liverpool signing the midfielder. Xhaka's current club, Borrusia Mochengladbach, are reportedly asking for a sum £37 million for him. Xhaka's Dad, Ragip Xhaka, who is also his agent hinted that big clubs are interested in signing his son


Adrien Rabiot (PSG to Arsenal)
The 20-Year-Old midfielder reportedly flew to London in the early hours of today along with his mother, who plays the role of his agent, to close in on his signing with Arsenal.



9) Leroy Sane (FC Schalke to Manchester City)
At 19-year-old, Sane has become a fast-rising superstar who got everyone's attention by his brilliant performance in the Bundesliga and the German national team at the U-21 level. Manchester City have showed interest in signing Sane for a sum that has not been disclosed yet but we expect this to be a huge signing.


10) Emre Mor (FC Nordsjaelland to Southampton/Galatasary and more)
He is only 18-year-old. But not withstanding, he is among the most valuable youngsters currently. Attracting interest from big European teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Galatasary and others. Mor is a midfielder from Danish with a turkish decent.

It seams Chelsea is still waiting before they make more bid
