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
Manchester United's hunt for a new goalkeeper has thrown up two names this week. Talksport report that the Old Trafford club could make a move for Newcastle keeper Nick Pope, while the Sun understand that the Red Devils are considering a move for Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
According to reports in Italy, Liverpool's want-away winger Federico Chiesa is desperate for a return to Serie A. However, interest from Turkish giants Fenerbahce could tempt the 27-year-old talent away from a move back to Italy.
Another player that's desperate to leave the Premier League is Jadon Sancho. And according to the Daily Mail, Man Utd have reduced their asking price for the winger to just €20m, with Borussia Dortmund and Juventus both interested in signing the 25-year-old talent.
