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 

Paul Pogba has reportedly been in extensive contract talks with DC United over a potential deal. The former Manchester United midfielder hasn’t played for almost two years due to a ban but is now available as a free agent after leaving Juventus. DC United have discovery rights on the Frenchman and could lure him to the MLS. 

Liverpool will reportedly challenge Manchester City for the signature of Monaco’s Eliesse Ben Seghir. The 20-year-old is one of the brightest young players in Ligue 1 currently and he’s expected to move in the summer with Monaco valuing him at around €35,.

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.
