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
AC Milan are leading the race to sign Rasmus Højlund this summer. Manchester United will allow the Danish international to depart with a loan move looking increasingly likely. RB Leipzig are also interested in Hojlund but a return to Italy could be on the cards.
Tottenham have seen a €35m bid rejected by Como for Nico Paz. The Argentinian midfielder enjoyed an excellent debut season in Serie A from Real Madrid. But Como value Paz in excess of €55m with Tottenham weighing up an improved offer.
Juventus are interested in signing Sandro Tonali, according to reports in Italy. The midfielder previously played for AC Milan in Serie A but Newcastle will rebuff any interest in Tonali.
