Wednesday's transfer gossip column, via BBC News, throws up a trio of intriguing links across Europe.
Coventry City are reportedly weighing up a loan move for Chelsea winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, who has struggled to nail down a regular starting spot at Stamford Bridge since his big-money arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are understood to still be tracking Manchester City midfielder Rodri, with the Spaniard's creativity and control in the middle of the park continuing to appeal to the Catalan giants despite previous unsuccessful pursuits.
Elsewhere, Manchester United are said to have made an approach for Real Madrid forward Endrick, as the Premier League club look to bolster their attacking options amid the Brazilian's limited game time at the Bernabeu.
As with all transfer gossip, none of these stories should be treated as confirmed business — they remain speculative at this stage, according to BBC News, and are worth monitoring as the window progresses.
