The week-end action ends as transfer speculations begin again with just two days left in the January transfer window. According to reports in England, Arsenal are still negotiating with Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri. The Italian tactician has been identified as a possible replacement for Arsene Wnger whose Arsenal contract expires in the summer.

According to the Sunday Express , Arsenal are in advanced transfer talks with the Italian tactician. Allegri’s Juventus deal runs until 2018. The Italian boss and current Chelsea manager Antonio Conte are the only coaches to have won the Serie A title in the last six years.

Meantime, German paper Bild reports that Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing Fiorentina star strike Nikola Kalinic in the summer. The Croatian star is among the best Serie A striker and has recently rejected a big-money move to Tianjin Quanjian, the same club that had tried to sign Chelsea ace Diego Costa.

Kalinic has opted to stay at Fiorentina but a summer transfer of the Croatia International is now in the cards. Borussia Dortmund could sign him to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who is said to be a top transfer target of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City next season. Kalinic, 29, has a release clause of € 50 million and Fiorentina are not open to sell him for less than that fee.
