It's transfer deadline day for the majority of top leagues and many sides are still on the hunt for new signings. The biggest clubs in European football and clubs across the continent are still midway through their 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
Arsenal were open to selling Gabriel Martinelli this summer but their €70m asking price deterred suitors. It's understood that several clubs were interested in the Brazilian international but valued him at closer to €45m.
Barcelona retain as strong interest in Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo. The Brazilian centre-back has excelled in the Premier League with Arsenal also keeping tabs on the 23-year-old.
Manchester United are open to allowing Andre Onana to leave before the end of the Turkish and Saudi Arabia transfer windows. The 29-year-old has failed to impress at Old Trafford and Trabzonspor are the latest club to be linked.
