The summer transfer window is officially open with clubs now able to add new signings to their squad. The biggest clubs in European football and clubs across the continent are already making plans for next season. 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 

Napoli are the latest club to express an interest in signing Jadon Sancho this summer. The 25-year-old will return to Manchester United for pre-season after Chelsea rejected the chance to sign him on a permanent deal. Sancho has interest from England and Saudi Arabia but Napoli are weighing up a move. 

Napoli also reportedly view Callum Hudson-Odoi as an alternative to Sancho on the wing. The former Chelsea youngster enjoyed a solid season for Nottingham Forest and Manchester United have also been linked. 

Heung-min Son is expected to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer with interest growing in the South Korean. The 32-year-old is expected to travel on Spurs’ pre-season tour to Asia before leaving with three Saudi Pro League clubs and Fenerbahce interested.
