"Valencia CF have reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the loan of winger Peter Federico," read a statement from the club.
"The 21-year-old footballer arrives on loan until the end of the season and Valencia CF will have an option to buy.
"Peter Federico arrives at Valencia CF to increase the attacking options, he can play on either flank, being the left his most skilled leg, and can bring speed to the team led by Ruben Baraja."
"Midfielder Romain Faivre has been recalled from his loan move at French side Lorient," read a statement from the club.
"The versatile 25-year-old, who can play on the wing or as an attacking midfielder, joined the Cherries in the summer before immediately heading out on loan.
"The Frenchman scored ten goals and assisted four times in 34 appearances for Les Merlus across two loan spells, including five goals in 17 games this campaign.
"He will wear the number eight shirt and will join his Cherries teammates in training ahead of Thursday's trip to West Ham."
Carlos Alcaraz is reportedly en route to London to undergo a medical with Juventus, as he prepares to join the Italian giants on an initial loan deal from Southampton.
The 21-year-old moved to Southampton from Racing Club in January 2023, and he has made 47 appearances for his current side in all competitions, scoring eight goals and registering five assists.
Alcaraz penned a new long-term deal at St Mary's last October, and he has been a regular this season, making 26 appearances, scoring four goals and registering three assists.
There has been widespread speculation surrounding his future in recent days, though, and according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, a switch to Juventus is now close to being completed.
Manchester United are reportedly pushing to sign Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite before the January transfer window closes for business.
There will be changes to the defensive department at Old Trafford this year, with both Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans out of contract in June, while Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire face uncertain futures.
Lisandro Martinez is arguably the only centre-back at the club guaranteed to be there next season, and it is possible that a couple of new players in that area of the field could arrive as part of the rebuild under incoming minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Man United are believed to have a long-term interest in Branthwaite, who has made a strong impression for Everton during the 2023-24 campaign.
Karim Benzema will reportedly be staying with Al-Ittihad until at least the summer despite the widespread speculation surrounding his future this month.
The 36-year-old surprisingly decided against signing a new contract with Real Madrid last year in order to make the move to Saudi Arabia, penning a three-year deal with Al-Ittihad.
Benzema has scored 12 times and registered five assists in 20 appearances for his current side during the 2023-24 campaign, including nine goals and five assists in 15 Saudi Pro League outings.
There has been a host of speculation surrounding the forward during the January market, though, amid claims that he was keen to return to European football.
