Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are expected headline another huge summer transfer window in the Premier League, while there’s plenty going on across Europe
The 2023-24 season isn't over yet but the summer transfer window is rapidly approaching!
While clubs and players will have to contend with Euro 2024, the Copa America and even the Olympic Games over the coming months, it's set to be a busy summer across Europe and beyond. Premier League sides are likely to lead the way financially, with Manchester United already plotting a major overhaul which could revolve heavily around Jadon Sancho.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are on the hunt for a new striker amid reports that the Gunners are ready to listen to offers for current No. Gabriel Jesus. Former Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres is rumoured to be a target, while Chelsea could swoop for the Sporting Lisbon hotshot if their attempt at signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli fails.
There's also the small matter of Liverpool having a new manager, with Arne Slot all but confirmed to be the Reds' new boss. The Dutch tactician wants to put his own stamp on the squad, fuelling talk of some high-profile exits.

A Manchester United loanee is now a Champions League finalist – think that about sums things up at Old Trafford.
Roma star Tammy Abraham is reportedly ‘open’ to returning to the Premier League this summer.
The ex-Chelsea star has been shortlisted as a target by a host of English sides and the forward is not ruling out a return to his homeland, according to HITC
West Ham and Newcastle are both keen on Abraham whilst Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and newly promoted Leicester City also in the picture.
Reports in the foreign media claim that Manchester United are, once again, sticking Gareth Southgate on top of their managerial wishlist.
The England boss has been linked with the Old Trafford hotseat in the past and it is claimed that the United hierarchy want to try and wrap up a deal soon and announce it after the Euros.
Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic is unsure whether Jadon Sancho will be able to remain at the German club as he begins to rediscover his best form away from Man Utd.
“We have talked about the short-term future,” Terzic explained. “This is tomorrow, with a very important game, maybe also the biggest game in his career so far. We are really happy with him. From all sides we are happy to have him in our team. I think you can feel that he is happy to be with us.
"We don't know how long the story will continue. This is part of the deal, that he is not our player from July 1, but until then we are going to make this time that we have as special as possible. We are really feeling that he is in a good way. I think that big games are decided by big players and tomorrow he will have the opportunity to decide it.”
Ex-Red Devil Paul Parkertold Tipsbladet: "Joachim Andersen is spot on when he says that. Højlund constantly throws himself, and it really doesn't suit him. It must be frustrating for Højlund that his national team mate had such a good handle on him, but Andersen must also be horrible to play against. He really got into Højlund's head."
"He loves getting under the opponent's skin, and he's damn annoying. I love him, and many more defenders should be like him. A type like him would fit really well into Manchester United. He's a fantastic player, and he reminds me of Thiago Silva in the way he plays. He's a monster."
Chelsea are reportedly looking to offload Armando Broja at the end of the season.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues are ready to part ways with their academy product at the end of the season.
Currently the striker is on loan at Fulham having been unable to get sufficient minutes whilst at Stamford Bridge.
Jude Bellingham has enjoyed a sensational debut season but is set to lift his first league title behind closed doors after Real Madrid reportedly rejected the idea of celebrating their La Liga win when they face Granada next weekend.
Carlo Ancelotti's side were confirmed as La Liga champions on Saturday after a 3-0 win over Cadiz thanks to rivals Barcelona suffering a 4-2 defeat against Girona. The Spanish football federation is responsible for handing over the trophy and they were planning to do so on Saturday.
However, according to a report from ESPN, Real have rejected their proposal as they were 'reluctant for the ceremony to take place away from home'. Instead, they are now set to receive the trophy in a 'private event' at their training ground the following day.
Mason Greenwood will not return to Manchester United in the summer to relaunch his career.
Greenwood, currently on loan at Spanish club Getafe until the end of the season, wants to extend his stay with the La Liga club, according to their president Angel Torres. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, now in charge of football operations at United, hinted at a possible route back for Greenwood at the club when he addressed the forward's future back in February.
But it now appears United have shut the door on Greenwood returning to them, with Getafe president Torres saying: "If it was up to the lad, his parents and the club [Getafe], I think he would continue for another year.
"But regarding Manchester United, the news that we have from last week, when the Getafe sporting director went to England to see some games and was with them, is that if a good offer comes along, they would want to sell, because he's not going to go back there [United]."
Watching Manchester United's 4-0 drubbing against Crystal Palace on Monday evening will have done little to change Sir Jim Ratcliffe's convictions on his team.
With few names escaping Manchester United's transfer list, it is perhaps little surprise that former Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro is a player the club are open to selling. The Brazilian arrived in the north west in a £70million deal from Real Madrid in August 2022.
It was a move that frustrated Ratcliffe before he made his investment in the club. The 32-year-old's signing was highlighted by the billionaire during a presentation by United's hierarchy as the INEOS chief deliberated a bid in March 2023.
The co-owner suggested United's business had not always been prudent, with the veteran's big-money move a perfect example. And despite an impressive first season, Casemiro has struggled to repeat his form in 2023/24.
Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres admits that he 'can't promise' he'll still be at Sporting Lisbon next season.
Gyokeres, 25, has scored 41 goals in all competitions this season and boasts a €100million (£86m) release clause.
The Swedish striker left Coventry last summer and has already helped Sporting clinch the Primeira Liga title.
Read what Gyokeres had to say here.
Real Madrid hope to sign Lille defender Leny Yoro this summer to replace outgoing captain Nacho.
Yoro, who's just 18, is about to entered the final year of his contract and Lille are keen to cash in, reports from Italy claim.
Nacho, meanwhile, is set to become a free agent and leave Madrid after 23 years associated with the club.
After being heavily linked with Liverpool, West Ham and Barcelona, Ruben Amorim has decided to stay at Sporting Lisbon.
In the wake of winning the club's second league title in four seasons, Amorim confirmed: "I'm staying. I have a contract.
"I dedicate it [league title] to all the Sporting fans. Now we will try to go for a third."
Bayer Leverkusen have lodged an enquiry for Girona midfielder Aleix Garcia amid interest from Barcelona.
Multiple reports claim that both clubs are keen on the 26-year-old Spaniard, whose team are currently above Barca in the La Liga table after beating them 4-2 on Saturday.
Chelsea have opened talks with Shakhtar Donetsk for highly-rated midfielder Georgiy Sudakov.
Sudakov, 21, is a Ukraine international and according to the Mail, Chelsea are keen to sign him in what could be a £65million deal.
Premier League rivals Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City also have him on their radars, plus there's interest from Serie A.
Barcelona are planning to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams to strengthen their attack – but have two alternative targets.
Diario Sport claim that Barca are poised to activate the 21-year-old Spain international's €50million (£42.8m) release clause this summer after another fine season in Bilbao.
Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would be a much more expensive option, while RB Leipzig playmaker Dani Olmo is also on Barcelona's radar.
Jose Mourinho would love to have a second spell as Manchester United manager, it's emerged.
Unfortunately for him, the club don't want him back.
A fresh report from the MEN claims that despite co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe being a friend of Mourinho's, he doesn't expected to be approached if United sack Erik ten Hag.
Read the full story here.
Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that he won't be taking the Bayern Munich job in yet another rejection for the German giants.
Having missed out on Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, Ralf Rangnick and others, 'Zizu' won't come to their rescue.
Speaking ahead of Bayern's Champions League semi-final second leg against his former club, Real Madrid, while at the Miami Grand Prix, Zidane told Sky Gemany: "Will I be Bayern Munich coach in the future? No.
"I'm going to watch the game. Hopefully Madrid will win but it's going to be a difficult game."
Angel Di Maria could turn his back on Benfica this summer to join giants Besiktas.
Reports from Turkey claim that the ex-Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus star's personal manager has met with Besiktas representatives.
Di Maria, 36, rejoined Benfica last summer but was unable to help them retain the Portuguese title.
Former Manchester United starlet Angel Gomes has claimed that he's got the quality to play in the Champions League amid speculation over his future.
Gomes, 23, now plays for Lille and the midfielder has earned plaudits since joining the French club in 2021 following a spell with Portuguese side Boavista.
After Lille's 4-3 defeat to Lyon last night, the ex-England under-21 international was asked about his future and replied: "For now, I'm thinking about finishing the season well.
"It has been a very positive season for me. I have improved many parts of my game. I think I have the quality to play in the Champions League."
Lille, it should be noted, could still finish in the Champions League spots this season.
Borussia Dortmund are now the frontrunners to sign Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy, who's scored a whopping 25 goals in 26 Bundesliga games this season.
Sky Germany report that while Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked, it's Dortmund who are closest to signing the 28-year-old Guinea international.
Ex-Liverpool, West Ham and Barcelona managerial target Ruben Amorim has confirmed that he'll be staying at Sporting Lisbon for a fifth season.
Speaking after Sporting were confirmed as champions for the second time in his reign, 39-year-old Amorim confirmed: "I'm staying. I have a contract.
"I dedicate it [league title] to all the Sporting fans. Now we will try to go for a third."
Bayern Munich are reportedly ahead of Real Madrid in the race to sign AC Milan left-back Theo Hernandez.
According to Mundo Deportivo, France international Hernandez is closing in on a move to Bayern, despite coming through in Madrid.
Missing out on Hernandez, 26, might not be all bad for Real, though, as Bayern would therefore be inclined to sell their current left-back, Alphonso Daives, whose contract expires in 2025.
Italy international Federico Chiesa is among the big names to have been linked with a Premier League move of late, and La Gazzetta Dello Sport names him as one of several Juventus players potentially up for sale this summe.
Adrien Rabiot is another with Premier League links in his past, while Paul Pogba's future at the club is uncertain.
Chiesa, who is under contract until the end of the 2024-25 season, has seven goals and three assists to his name this season.
Chelsea are ready to offer Romelu Lukaku in a deal to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
The Stamford Bridge club face fierce competition for the Nigeria striker from Paris Saint-Germain who are seeking to replace Kylian Mbappe.
And the Blues do not want to play the £110m buyout clause in Osimhen’s contract. Gazzetta dello Sport reports today that Chelsea are prepared to pay £70m in cash plus the Belgium frontman.
Lukaku, who turns 31 next week, is currently on loan at Roma after spending last season at Inter Milan. The former West Brom, Manchester United and Everton striker has two years left on his contract with Chelsea after joining from Inter Milan for £97.5m in 2021.
West Ham confirmed last night that manager David Moyes will leave the club at the end of his contract next month.
Former Real Madrid, Spain and Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui is the favourite to replace him, with an agreement close to being finalised.
Jadon Sancho doesn't want to return to Manchester United this summer – even if Erik ten Hag is sacked.
That's according to talkSPORT, whose report follow telling comments from Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl on Saturday.
"His qualities don't need to be described. He has regained his smile in the six months with us," Kehl said after Dortmund beat Augsburg 5-1.
"We will try everything. But Manchester United also sees how well he is playing at the moment. Maybe they also want to sell him for profit. Or bring him back."
Leading 1-0 on aggregate, Sancho's Dortmund visit Paris Saint-Germain for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final clash tonight.
