Declan Rice
The West Ham United midfielder started his career in the Chelsea youth ranks, and is linked with a return to Stamford Bridge.
Since leaving the Blues, Rice has established himself as an England international and a point man for West Ham.
The Hammers are said to be determined to keep Rice at an £ 80 million rating in January, but that has done little to stop speculation about his future.
Chelsea are a clear favorite at 3/1 to sign the 21-year-old next month, with Manchester United also in the race, but somewhat behind at 14/1.
Paul pogba
Pogba’s agent has publicly stated that his client wants to leave Manchester United.
The World Cup winning midfielder has said that it would be a dream for him to play for Real Madrid one day.
Meanwhile, a return to former club Juventus has also been considered.
Juve is leading 5/2 to beat the French in January, with Real at 4/1, followed by Paris Saint-Germain at 8/1.
Interestingly, Chelsea is next on the list at 16/1, ahead of Inter Milan (20/1), Premier League rivals Manchester City and Barcelona (both 33/1).
Diego Costa
It looks like the 32-year-old forward could leave Atlético de Madrid during the January transfer window. Could a return to Chelsea be at stake?
Costa is in the final year of his current contract with Atlético and it is reported that he will not be offered a new contract.
That means you could leave with a free transfer next summer, but it is said that you might even be allowed to move in next month.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are a 6/1 joint favorite to sign the Spanish international, with the same price available to join any club in the Chinese Super League.
A move to the United States to link with any MLS team is listed at 9/1, followed by Tottenham (12/1), Chelsea (14/1) and Man United (16/1).
Sergio Ramos
The future of the Real Madrid stalwart is up in the air right now, it seems.
The 34-year-old defender’s current contract expires next summer and he has yet to reach a new agreement.
Boss Zinedine Zidane hopes that Ramos will prolong what has been a brilliant career at the Bernabéu, but many clubs are certainly keeping a close eye on the situation.
Juventus are 8/1 favorites to win the Spain international, followed by Man City (11/1), Chelsea and Tottenham (both 12/1).
He can get 14/1 if he joins Manchester United next month, with Barcelona 20/1 out.
