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 

Manchester United are monitoring Jobe Bellingham ahead of a potential summer move. United, who famously missed out on his older brother Jude, are focusing on signing younger talents and the Sunderland midfielder fits the bill. 

Real Madrid will step up their interest in Dean Huijsen this summer with the Bournemouth star on the radar of a host of European giants. Huijsen has been a revelation at the Cherries since joining last summer and received his maiden Spain call-up for this international break. It’s understood that Huijsen has a €60 million release clause in his contract this summer. 

Meanwhile, Chelsea want to sign Endrick this summer, according to reports in Spain. The Brazilian starlet has struggled for regular minutes at Real Madrid this season but it’s understood the Spanish giants are unwilling to sell.
