The summer transfer window is now into its final week 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
Liverpool are hoping to agree a deal for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi to bolster their defence. The Reds have launched a bid worth €40.4m, but the Eagles are yet to respond. Reports also suggest the champions are preparing to move again for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
Chelsea have reportedly submitted an offer to signFermín López from Barcelona. The Blues have been tracking the Spanish midfielder ahead of a late move in the transfer window and have now bid €40m. However, Barca are reluctant to sell unless the 22-year-old asks to leave.
Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund is expected to arrive in Rome today ahead of sealing an initial loan switch to Napoli. The Denmark international is poised to complete his move which could cost the Serie A club €49.6m, due to an obligation-to-buy clause that will becomes active if Napoli qualify for the Champions League.
