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
Emiliano Martínez has reportedly rejected interest from Galatasaray because he's not keen on moving to the Süper Lig. The Argentinian international had interest from Manchester United but he's remained at Aston Villa.
Galatasaray have reached an agreement with İlkay Gündoğan with the midfielder to join from Manchester City on a free transfer. The former German international had no future under Pep Guardiola and he will enjoy the twilight years of his career in Türkiye.
Raheem Sterling looks destined to remain at Chelsea until January with little interest in the former England international or Saudi Pro League clubs. Fulham made an enquiry but his astronomical wages proved prohibitive.
