Selhurst Park centre-back Marc Guehi is now a major focus for the Italian club, while the Cherries forward Antoine Semenyo holds a undisclosed release clause, and the Blues are keen on young Portuguese teenager Cardoso Varela.
Serie A contenders Inter Milan have entered the hunt to acquire the signature of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, but Liverpool continue to be the frontrunners to land the 25-year English star.
Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo has included a buyout clause in his deal, but the club are keeping it under wraps as they aim to keep the 25-year Ghanaian player, who has been linked from Tottenham and Manchester United.
Chelsea and Barcelona are each watching Dinamo Zagreb's 16-year-old Portuguese striker Cardoso Varela, adding to the transfer speculation surrounding the emerging talent.
Brighton are not looking to cash in on Cameroon player Carlos Baleba in January, despite the 21-year-old attracting interest from Manchester United last summer.
Manchester United have placed Crystal Palace and English midfielder Adam Wharton, 21, ahead of Baleba on their shortlist of transfer targets.
Manchester United are considering renewing Brazilian midfielder Casemiro's contract past this season, however provided the 33-year-old agrees to a wage cut.
Attention in Casemiro has come from Brazilian clubs and Saudi clubs, but Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim may make a case for the former Real Madrid star to remain.
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, 33, has stated that he does not intend to leave the team, even with attention from Manchester United and Newcastle United.
Crystal Palace full-back Daniel Munoz is wanted by Barcelona, but the club will not allow the 29-year Colombian player depart in January.
Former Tottenham football officer Scott Munn's choice to join Serie A club Parma rather than Nottingham Forest is a additional indication that boss Ange Postecoglou is on shaky footing at the City Ground.
Recently appointed Newcastle recruitment chief Ross Wilson will oversee an audit into the contract situation of the team's top players, as the club aim to avoid a repeat of the player drama that saw Swedish forward Alexander Isak, 26, join Liverpool.
Chelsea are not worried over the long-term of Ecuador midfielder Moises Caicedo, 23-year-old, following the very visible axing of his representative.
Caicedo is expected to be offered with a fresh deal by Chelsea to deter attention from Real Madrid.
Borussia Dortmund are keen on Barcelona's 17-year Spain midfielder Guille Fernandez, who has not yet make a senior appearance with the Spanish side.
