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 

Noni Madueke is reportedly on Arsenal’s radar this summer. The 23-year-old featured regularly for Chelsea last season but it’s understood that Stamford Bridge chiefs have refused to rule out a sale. Arsenal need to strengthen their attacking options and Madueke is of interest to Mikel Arteta. 

Jarrel Quansah is closing in on a move to Bayer Leverkusen. It’s understood that Liverpool could net around €40 million from the centre-back moving to Germany. Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi has been earmarked as a potential replacement. 

Barcelona have made contact with Copenhagen over wonderkid Roony Bardghji. The 19-year-old is one of the best Swedish talents and Barcelona are eyeing a deal, which will be separate from their move for Nico Williams.
