Most Likely Transfers Before The January Window Closes (2026)
Fulham’s attempt to sign free agent Raheem Sterling is deemed to be the most likely transfer to be completed before the window closes, according to latest data from William Hill.
The leading bookmaker price it as a 7/4 chance that the former Chelsea winger joins the Cottagers; with the same odds offered for Mohamed Salah to move to any Saudi Pro League club.
The likelihood of Liverpool signing Micky van de Ven from Tottenham, and Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves arriving at Manchester United is 2/1, with a slightly longer 11/4 that Barcelona hero Lionel Messi makes a return to the Camp Nou from Inter Miami.
