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 reportedly interested in signing Wolves and Brazil forward Matheus Cunha. The 25 year old is thought to have a release clause that will become active this summer in the region of €73m.

Inter Miami plan to offer Manchester City and Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, 33, a contract this summer but face competition from Saudi Arabian sides. However, Inter Miami have ‘discovery rights’ on De Bruyne, which allows them to exclusively negotiate with the Belgian without competition from another MLS club. 

Tottenham are reportedly leading the race to sign Brazilian wonderkid Rayan. The Vasco da Gama forward also has interest from Liverpool, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
