We're in a kind of limbo when it comes to the transfer market right now. It's too late to be talking about deals that happened during the January window, but it still feels way too early to be talking about deals that might happen at the end of the season.

But clubs across the world never take any time off from the market, so why should we? 

Here are some of the headlines from across Europe.

Newley appointed AS Roma manager Claudio Ranieri has told his employers to consider signing Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater, according to Calciomercato (via Football Italia).

Ranieri worked alongside Drinkwater at Leicester City and the England international midfielder was one of the club's stand out performers during their title-winning campaign in 2016.

But the 29-year-old has lacked game time since moving to Chelsea in a £34m deal, making just 23 appearances in almost two years.

Spanish side Celta de Vigo will be forced to cut the asking price for star striker Maxi Gómez in half if they fail to retain their La Liga status this season.

The Mirror has confirmed that long-term West Ham target Gómez's £42m release clause at the Balaídos will be slashed to just £22m if the club are relegated this season.
