Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals this summer. The rumour mill is still gathering pace and we’ve collated some of the biggest current transfer stories – you can access the full rumour mill below.
Today’s biggest transfer stories
Cole Palmer would be interested in a move to Manchester United this summer, according to the Daily Mail. Despite struggling for form this season, Palmer remains an elite player and could look to leave Chelsea as they won’t qualify for the Champions League next season.
Barcelona have identified Wesley Fofana as a potential centre-back target this summer. It’s understood that Barca’s priority remains Alessandro Bastoni but it may prove difficult to extract the Italian international from Inter Milan.
Juventus have been offered the chance to sign David Alaba this summer. The 33-year-old’s Real Madrid contract expires at the end of the season and a move to Serie A would appeal to the highly-decorated Austrian international.
