Happy Tuesday, Fear the Wall.
The final day of the winter transfer deadline is here, and the Bundesliga has already seen some wild transfers in the last 48 hours. Joao Cancelo has nearly completed a move to Bayern Munich, on loan from Manchester City. A bust-up with Pep Guardiola seems to have pushed the Portuguese fullback out the door, and Bayern Munich were happy to roll out the red carpet for a player of his caliber.
Also at the top of the table, Union Berlin have made a late move for Spanish playmaker Isco, who was eager to ship out from Sevilla after an unsavory spell in Andalusia. With the top sides strengthening for the charge into spring, Dortmund will have some new faces to contend with in the fight for silverware.
❗️❗️❗️XXL EXCLUSIVE News #Isco: DONE DEAL! He will join @fcunion as revealed. Been told he will sign a contract until 2024 + 1. Medical tomorrow! It’s unbelievable but true: Isco will join UNION! @Sky_Marc @SkySportDE pic.twitter.com/PCxB5fqyaQ

Within BVB, several players have been tipped for moves away. Thorgan Hazard has all but completed a move to PSV Eindhoven, a move which should see him pick up significantly more minutes and hopefully regain some form. The Belgian has been completely frozen out of the team, not making a matchday squad since the resumption of the league. It has been an unfortunate spell for Thorgan Hazard at BVB, and while the Belgian provided some great moments, it just never worked out between the player and the club.
NEW: PSV Eindhoven expect to announce the signing of Thorgan Hazard tomorrow.

Thomas Meunier may also get the move he pushed for in August, as Hector Bellerin is being tipped to leave Barcelona. Meunier was the top option for the Calatan club in the summer, and while their attention has shifted a bit to Benjamin Pavard, either of the Bundesliga's best fullbacks should suffice.
Nico Schulz may leave too. If so, gone and also forgotten.
