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 

Liverpool are set to turn their attentions to Marc Guéhi after completing the signing of Hugo Etitike. The Anfield club only have three senior centre-backs on their books with doubts over Ibrahima Konate’s future. Liverpool want to sign Crystal Palace captain Guehi with Tottenham also interested. 

Alejandro Garnacho is attracting interest from three Premier League clubs with his time at Old Trafford over. Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham are tracking the Argentinian international with Manchester United wanting around €50m to sell. 

Galatasaray are in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer with Ederson understood to be their man target. But if the Istanbul side can’t agree a deal for the Manchester City number one then they will turn their attention to Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to reports in Italy. The PSG star only has one year left on his contract but the Parisians are hopeful that he will pen an extension.
