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 

Chelsea are ramping up their interest in Real Betis’ Jesús Rodríguez. The highly rated winger has enjoyed his breakthrough season at the La Liga club and Betis reportedly valued him at around €45 million.

Manchester United will drop their asking price for Alejandro Garnacho to €55m this summer, according to reports in Italy. Napoli and Chelsea were interested in a move for the Argentina winger during the January window and could revive that this summer. 

Galatasaray are interested in signing Alisson the summer.  Giorgi Mamardashvili will join Liverpool this summer and that could signal the end of Allison at Anfield with Türkiye a potential destination.
