With the European transfer window opening up again on January 1, TSN.ca takes a daily look around the soccer world at the latest rumours and reports heading into what is sure to be another busy period of transactions.

Dutch Devil?

Manchester United has been attached to Netherlands international midfielder Wesley Sneijder for the better part of the last decade, but The Daily Mail reports that the 30-year-old's move to Old Trafford could finally be in the offing.

With his Turkish side Galatasaray struggling with financial issues, Sneijder could be one of the high profile players sold by the Istanbul club as a means to shed debt. The allure of United would be obvious for Sneijder, who would be afforded the chance to again play under his former national manager in Louis van Gaal.

The former Real Madrid and Inter man has been with Galatasaray since January 2013 and reports of him being unsettled in Turkey have been numerous over the past two years.

United wouldn't be alone in their pursuit of the £9 million-rated Sneijder, though. Southampton, with another manager with whom Sneijder is also familiar in Ronald Koeman, are also reportedly interested in the player with an eye to solidify their run for a European place next season.

In 12 league games this season, Sneijder has three goals. Galatasaray sits second in the table, one point behind leaders Besiktas.

Got 'heem?

Add Bayern Munich to the list of teams interested in Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling.

The 20-year-old England international's future has come into question as of late with the Reds yet to secure him with a long-term contract extension and reported suitors Real Madrid and Chelsea waiting in the wings.

Bild (in German) reports that Pep Guardiola's side views Sterling as a "Plan B" to Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus. The German international reportedly has a £20 million release clause that Bayern intends to meet this summer, but Dortmund would be loath to deal with their German rivals, especially after losing star striker Robert Lewandowski to the Bundesliga champions on a free this past offseason and Mario Goetze the season before. Reus, himself, could refuse a move to Bayern out of loyalty to Dortmund and instead move outside of the Bundesliga with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid having previously shown interest.

With Luis Suarez's move to Barcelona, a series of injuries to Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotelli's goal-less drought, Liverpool has been, perhaps, overly reliant on Sterling to produce offence this season, something that the player might be able to use as leverage in any upcoming contract negotiations. 

Staying Fer Now?

Fernando Torres will not be leaving Milan in January. Well, at least Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani doesn't think he will be.

"I don’t think he will leave, even if the market is unpredictable," Galliani said. "Torres has been unlucky. He has struggled with injuries and is coming from a different league. We need to be patient."

Currently in the first season of a two-year loan with the 18-time Scudetto winners, the 30-year-old striker has struggled mightily since coming over from Chelsea, where he fell behind Diego Costa, Loic Remy and Didier Drogba in the forward pecking order.

Torres has netted just once in 10 appearances for Milan, currently sixth in the Serie A table and 12 points adrift of leaders Juventus. There has been talk in recent days of a return to one of his former clubs in Liverpool or Atletico Madrid.
