The major European leagues have concluded the summer transfer market. However, there is a lot of rumours circulating about who is relocating where with an eye toward January. Transfer Talk provides you the most recent news on rumours, arrivals, departures, and, of course, completed transactions! Barcelona's Pique and Alba are set to leave by the winter. According to Diario Sport, Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba, and Memphis Depay are expected to depart during the January transfer window, giving structure to Barcelona's "Operation Exit." The Catalans are now alleged to have already started negotiations for Pique and Alba to leave this winter, contrary to earlier reports that the Blaugrana wanted to part ways with the duo.

In the case of Alba, there are various clubs that could be interest in signing the left-back, with Juventus a prominent one that has previously been linked.

Making an effort to move the process along, Barcelona could even offer an agreed termination of Alba's contract.

Barcelona are also looking at moving on Depay after the World Cup due to his lack of minutes at the start of the season, which has since been followed by an injury spell.

While his Netherlands compatriot Frenkie de Jong has impressed on the pitch recently, Barcelona would be interested in offloading him for a large amount in order to strengthen their squad.

Meanwhile, Sergio Busquets' contract expires in the summer and the midfielder isn't expected to stay past that point.

Finally, Pablo Torre and Inaki Pena could both be sent out on loan in January.
