The January transfer window is now little more than a distant memory in European football and as such clubs across the continent are already making plans for the summer window. Teams are working tirelessly behind the scenes on identifying targets and figuring out their budgets.

Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals. A plethora of players will become available in the summer where clubs famously have more money to spend and aren’t as restricted by financial fair play rules. The rumour mill is beginning to pick up pace and we’ve collated some of the biggest current transfer stories. 

Today’s biggest transfer stories 

Liverpool are reportedly considering an approach for Rafael Leão this summer. The 25-year-old could embrace a new challenge at the end of the season with Barcelona also previously linked with the Portuguese international. Leao has 18 goal contributions in 38 games this season and his market value stands at €75 million. 

Bayern Munich have lowered their asking price for Kingsley Coman, according to Bild. The French international will be available for between €35-45m and Arsenal are known admirers of the winger. Meanwhile, Jack Grealish could depart Manchester City this summer with minutes limited under Pep Guardiola. 

Tottenham are favourites to sign Tyler Dibling in the summer, according to talkSPORT. The 19-year-old has been the shining light for Southampton this season but they are destined for relegation back to the English Championship. Therefore, Dibling could be available on a reduced fee with Tottenham leading the race for the €22 million rated winger.
