Paris Saint-Germain appear keen on keeping Xavi Simons amid links with a Rangers pre-contract switch.
The Dutch midfielder is one of the most exciting prospects in French football but is now in the final six months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
His representatives have told the club he either wants a January loan move away or guaranteed game-time, if he is to re-sign.
The 18-year-old has been involved in the last three fixtures in Ligue 1, and reports in Le Parisien state that the club is looking to extend his deal.
The French outlet note that the club is attempting to cash-in on a number of young talents in order clear space in the squad for Tottenham's Tanguy Ndombele.
They state that a list of 11 young players available for transfer have been floated to clubs for a loan or permanent deal, but Simons is not among them as his representatives are holding talks with sporting director Leonardo.
Gio van Bronckhorst is reportedly among Simons' admirers and eyeing a pre-contract agreement.
In terms of incomings, the list of potential destinations for Andreas Skov Olsen keeps growing.
Rangers, Club Brugge and FC Copenhagen have all been touted as admirers of the winger, but Belgian outlet Voetbal Belgie claim Leeds United are also weighing up an offer.
They add that Olsen's preferred destination is to move to Brugge on loan.
On man who has already agreed to come to Ibrox is John Souttar.
And his Hearts teammate Andy Halliday reckons he will be allowed to leave Tynecastle if Rangers pay a bumper transer fee.
He told Open Goal: "Hearts will look at it and think of the financial benefit if they finish third and get into Europe.
"They've got a better chance of doing that if John Souttar is obviously there. If Rangers want John Souttar in January then they are going to need to make it to the financial benefit of Hearts."
Former Rangers striker Jermain Defoe is also on the hunt for a new club following his exit from Ibrox earlier this month.
Oxford have been tipped as a potential destination, but boss Karl Robinson is playing his cards close to his chest.
He told the Oxford Mail when asked about Defoe: “I’ve always been quite open with what we’re trying to do, because the market has been so vast and varied that you know you’re quite comfortable mentioning things.
“Sometimes I say things for effect to hide situations, but in this situation I don’t think it’s right that we comment on what we’re trying to do.”
