The summer transfer window is now is approaching fast - and many clubs are already turning their attention towards signing new players.

Manchester City appear to be on course for the Premier League title, so transfers are of little importance right now, but their rivals are poised for business. Regardless of whether they fall short in the title race, Arsenal could well be busy, with West Ham midfielder Declan Rice among those on their radar.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are readying themselves for a busy summer, with Erik ten Hag desperate to strengthen his side. However, the protracted takeover saga is hindering their effort.

Liverpool have lots of work to do, with many players set to leave at the end of the season, but previous top target Jude Bellingham now appears set to join Real Madrid.

Chelsea need to embark on a major overhaul under a new manager following a disastrous campaign. Tottenham likewise will need to overhaul their squad under whoever takes over. 

A number of top-flight stars could find themselves on the move, including Brighton stars Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo. And in Europe, the biggest story will be the future of Lionel Messi, who is set to leave PSG at the end of the campaign

Aubameyang to leave Chelsea
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to leave Chelsea at the end of the season.

The Gabon striker is under contract with Chelsea until June 2024 but wants to return to Barcelona following a miserable campaign in west London.

Barca are keen to be reunited with him, but have to make sure any deal complies with financial fair play rules.

Mac Allister's release clause
Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is a transfer target for Liverpool and Manchester United - and their pursuits could be helped by a release clause.

The Athletic reports that the Argentina World Cup winner does have one in his contract, but it is not straightforward.

Messi trains alone
Lionel Messi trained by himself at Paris Saint-Germain this morning.

Messi's future is up in the air after he was suspended by the club for taking an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia. He is wanted by Al-Hilal, Barcelona and Inter Miami this summer, when he will become a free agent

De Gea's future in doubt
David de Gea's latest howler has cast serious doubt over his Manchester United future and his chances of securing a new deal.

While United boss Erik ten Hag publicly backed De Gea after the goalkeeper's blunder gifted West Ham a 1-0 win on Sunday, senior figures at the club have reservations about the Spaniard.

After 12 years, 540 appearances, including a club record 188 clean sheets, beating Peter Schmeichel's record, De Gea's place in United's rich history is assured. But having made four mistakes that have led directly to goals this season, including Sunday's gaffe which has jeopardised United's top-four hopes, De Gea's No.1 status is under real threat.

Osimhen price named
Napoli have publicly said they won't sell Victor Osimhen, but privately they have decided he would go if a bid of £130million comes in.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea may struggle to afford that huge price tag, but Napoli's interest in Christian Pulisic may help things.

Manchester United are interested in Randal Kolo Muani, yet may be thwarted by Bayern Munich, who are focusing on signing the French star from Eintracht Frankfurt.

De Jong to hold Barca talks
Frenkie de Jong is reportedly set to hold talks with Barcelona at the end of the season to determine his future.

De Jong was pursued by Manchester United last summer, but ended up staying in Spain. He now wants clarification on his future ahead of a summer transfer window when he will attract interest once again.

Al-Hilal going all out for Messi
Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal are pushing the boat out to try and convince Lionel Messi to move to the club in the summer.

Reports in France say the club have made offers to sign Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Marco Verratti, just to show Messi their commitment to the project.

Messi is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of June, but his future remains up in the air. Barcelona and Inter Miami are among the clubs pushing for his signature.

Arsenal confident in Rice pursuit
Arsenal believe they can win the battle for Declan Rice's signature by quadrupling the England international's West Ham salary.

Rice, 24, is expected to leave the Hammers in the summer after expressing a desire to play Champions League football in the near future. A number of clubs have been linked with the midfielder in recent months, including Chelsea and Manchester United.

Arsenal have already booked their spot in next season's Champions League, which will interest Rice. He is unlikely to sign a new contract with West Ham, who could be forced to cash in on their prized asset before his existing deal expires in June 2025.

AS Roma are closing in on deal to sign Houssem Aouar as free agent. There’s an agreement in principle, waiting on contract to be signed in the next days. ???????????????? #transfers @SkySport

Aouar’s contract will be valid until June 2028 — here we go soon.

Tottenham are eyeing a move for Barcelona midfielder Frank Kessie this summer, according to Sport.

It is thought that an offer of £20million would be enough for the Ivorian midfielder, with Barca desperate to make sales this summer to balance their financial situation.

Spurs have been light in the heart of midfield this season and Kessie, who joined the Catalan club from Milan last summer, could be a solution.

Real Madrid in for Frimpong
Man Utd face competition from Real Madrid for Jeremie Frimpong, according to Bild (via Football Oranje).

The Bayer Leverkusen star has been earmarked as a potential solution to United's right-back position.

However, Madrid have similar thoughts, with current incumbent Dani Carvajal set to turn 32 during the 2023-24 season.
