We are reaching the business end of the January transfer window with now just a matter of days until the window shuts. Manchester City have been one of the busier clubs over the last month with the arrivals of Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov.

The three arrivals take their spending to £126.1 million so far. With just days of the window left, will there be any more arrivals or exits for Pep Guardiola? Here’s some of the latest transfer rumours around the Etihad Stadium.

Reports from Sport claim that City winger Jeremy Doku has been ‘offered’ to Barcelona amid concerns over his playing time in the second half of the season. The addition of Marmoush to the squad has added more competition to the attacking area, with Doku a player who could see his position come under threat.

The report says that the winger is ‘unhappy with the situation’ and could therefore push for a move away from the Etihad Stadium in the final days of the window. It is added that he has been offered to Barcelona, and several other European clubs, by his agents.

Barcelona are reported to be interested in a potential loan deal until the end of the season. However, they currently have no wriggle room in terms of salary space.

Doku has made 21 appearances so far this season, scoring six goals and providing seven assists. He was left out of the squad for the win against Chelsea at the weekend due to injury.

Elsewhere, it is claimed that City are ‘unlikley’ to continue to pursue a move for Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso as a potential replacement for Kyle Walker, who has joined AC Milan. The Mirror report that City have made an enquiry over Cambiaso and has a £54.5m bid rejected.

Juventus are reported to be demanding a fee of £75.5 million for the player who is currently out injured with an ankle injury. While Juventus are said to be targeting Feyenoord’s David Hancko as a possible replacement, it is added that City are unlikely to follow up their interest in Cambiaso before Monday night’s transfer deadline.
