The summer transfer window is approaching quickly on the horizon and clubs are already busy working on deals to acquire their top targets. For most clubs, planning will already be complete and they will have identified which players they want to sign, and which players they want to sell.

Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals this summer. The rumour mill is still gathering pace and we’ve collated some of the biggest current transfer stories – you can access the full rumour mill below.

Today’s biggest transfer stories

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are said to be lining up a move for Manchester City star Josko Gvardiol. The Croatian left-back hasn’t played since January after suffering a broken tibia and only has two years left to run on his contract. If he is unable to agree a new deal, City could decide to sell the €70 million-valued defender sooner rather than later.

Manchester United are considering a summer approach for Atalanta midfielder Éderson, who is seen as a replacement for the departing Casemiro. The Brazil international, 26, has been linked with Atletico Madrid but they now look set to sign Joao Gomes, leaving United as the only team with concrete interest in Ederson.

Arsenal are reportedly willing to offload Ethan Nwaneri, alerting Chelsea to his availability. The 19-year-old has struggled to make an impression while on loan with Marseille and the Gunners may decide to cash in. Nwaneri’s current market value is €40 million.
