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 

There has been ‘serious progress’ in talks over Jadon Sancho joining Fenerbahce, according to reports in Türkiye. The winger will depart Manchester United this summer after Chelsea turned down the chance to sign him due to his wage demands. Napoli’s interest has also cooled due to the financial implications but Fenerbahce remain keen on Sancho.

Paul Pogba has yet to put pen to paper on joining Monaco, despite reports claiming he’s set to join the French club. The former French international is ready to make his comeback after leaving Juventus following his ban. Pogba has been strongly linked to Monaco but insists he’s not signed any deal. “I haven’t signed anything,” Pogba said on Monday. “But there’s interest. We’ll see. In life, you never know.”

Arsenal have expressed an interest in PSG winger Bradley Barcola, according to L’Equipe. Bayern Munich and Liverpool have also been linked to the 22-year-old but Barcola is expected to remain in Paris next season.
