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 reportedly interested in a summer move for Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, as they want the England international to bolster their attack. Rogers has a market value of €50m.

According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid have made Arsenal’s French defender William Saliba their top defensive target this summer. The 24 year old has a current market value of €80m.

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has claimed that Victor Osimhen wants to join the Stamford Bridge club this summer. Osimhen was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea last summer and fellow Nigerian Mikel believes a deal will be easy to complete this summer.
