A round up of Thursday's Premier League transfer gossip and news.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City will have to pay at least £20m if they want to sign Crystal Palace's 19-year-old winger Wilfried Zaha.
Roma midfielder Daniele de Rossi is back on Manchester City's wanted list. City boss Roberto Mancini has had two approaches for the 29-year-old rejected in recent years but a £30m bid in January could prove third time lucky.
Out-of-favour Manchester United striker Federico Macheda is set to leave the club. The 21-year-old striker's agent said: "He wants to play and if he cannot do so by January then we'll try to find an alternative solution."
Birmingham could have to sell Jack Butland, 19, and Nathan Redmond, 18, unless they quickly find a new owner. Everton and Southampton have been linked with keeper Butland, while winger Redmond may be a target for Manchester City.
Brazilian team Corinthians do not want to sell 24-year-old holding midfielder Paulinho - and will try to resist big-money bids from interested clubs like Chelsea.
Serie A champions Juventus are set to join AC Milan in the race to sign out-of-favour Manchester United winger Nani. Juve are looking to pay around £12m for the 25-year-old Portugal international.
