The special transfer window has open temporarily until June 10th with clubs able to sign players ahead of the Club World Cup. 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
Heung-min Son could depart Tottenham Hotspur this summer. The Spurs legend had a one-year extension clause activated last season but he's no longer a guaranteed started. Son has legitimate interest from Saudi Pro League clubs and could call time on his tenure in North London.
Chelsea will pay Manchester United €6 million to break their buy-option on Jadon Sancho. Stamford Blues chiefs couldn't agree on wages with Sancho and he will return to Old Trafford but he's unlikely to be part of Ruben Amorim's plans.
AC Milan are interested in signing Luka Modric this summer. The Croatian legend confirmed his departure from Real Madrid last month and he will be available on a free transfer. AC Milan want to sign Modric, who proved his worth by making 56 appearances for Madrid last season.
Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo wants to join Manchester United this summer with the Old Trafford club preparing to open talks. Arsenal, Newcastle United and Tottenham were also interested in the 25-year-old but he prefers a move to Man United.
