\"Transfer<\/p>\n

\n \u00a9IMAGO\n <\/p>\n

The summer transfer window has officially opened and while the main attention is on the World Cup, clubs are working away on major deals. For most clubs, planning will already be complete and they will have identified which players they want to sign, and which players they want to sell.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\nToday’s biggest transfer stories<\/p>\n

Michael Olise<\/a> is reportedly Real Madrid’s<\/a> main target this summer but it remains highly unlikely that he will depart Bayern Munich<\/a>. The 24-year-old is one of the best attackers in the world and reports have suggested that Madrid are willing to pay \u20ac220m for the France international. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig<\/a> have rebuffed an offer from Liverpool<\/a> for Yan Diomande<\/a>. It’s understood that the offer was \u20ac90m plus \u20ac10m in add-ons and the Anfield club are expected to test the Bundesliga club’s resolve with an improved bid – you can read more on that story here. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Barcelona<\/a> and Liverpool have emerged as the main contenders to sign Micky van de Ven<\/a> this summer. The 25-year-old has a long-term contract with Tottenham but there’s a feel that he could ask to leave with Spurs already acquiring two new centre-backs. <\/p>\n
