Transferr latests: De Gea wants some more!

The January window might have just shut, but Transfer Talk still has the updates on all the latest rumours and done deals.

De Gea 'set to increase United demands'

It seems the huge contract given to new Manchester United signing Alexis Sanchez could have an effect on David De Gea's situation at Old Trafford.
The Sun reports that goalkeeper De Gea -- who continues to be linked with Real Madrid -- "is ready to demand at least £375,000 a week to sign a new deal."
It says the Spain international "has been made aware" of Sanchez' terms and, with his contract running out at the end of next season, "knows of his increased worth."
Last month, manager Jose Mourinho suggested United were ready to offer De Gea a new contract that could keep him at the club for the rest of his career.
The Sun quotes a source as saying the financial situation "has completely altered for David and his people in terms of what his next deal should be worth," with Madrid still interested.
But Spanish outlet Sport reports that, should Bernabeu officials make an offer, United will tell them "that his price is €130 million."
And should Real's pursuit of De Gea fail to materialise into anything, Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois could be next in line after confessing on Tuesday that his "heart is in Madrid" ahead of the start of talks for an extension at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool maintain Alisson interest

Meanwhile, with speculation continuing to surround Liverpool's goalkeeping situation, recent reports suggested Roma had rebuffed an Anfield bid for Alisson Becker.
But "if at first you don't succeed" and all that -- the Mirror say Jurgen Klopp will keep trying to sign the Brazil international despite being told he could end up paying more than £45m.
Liverpool continue to monitor 25-year-old Alisson, with Klopp reportedly remaining unconvinced by either Simon Mignolet or Loris Karius, who said on Tuesday he was determined to keep his No. 1 statusamid transfer speculation and competition with his Belgian counterpart.
But they will face competition, with the Mirror warning that he "is expected to be in heavy demand with a number of Europe's elite potentially moving for him."
It says Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested, while Juventus will join the race if Gianluigi Buffon chooses to bring an end to his playing days.
