Liverpool enjoyed success in the Champions League this year and their quest to end their league title drought in 2019 will be bolstered by the arrival of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig. He will not be the last new face on Merseyside, however, with Monaco's Fabinho already in. Roma's Alisson is next and could Lyon's Nabil Fekir still follow? At United Jose Mourinho looks set to spend big again as he targets reinforcements in his bid to haul in record-breaking Manchester City next season. He's got Fred but another central midfield player is high on his list with a big money move for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale not out the question.
For the first time in over two decades Arsenal head into the offseason with a new manager at the helm. That man is former PSG boss Unai Emery after a stunning 11th hour change of heart at the Emirates and he already has four new signings and plenty more on the way with more on his shopping list. Chelsea have a new manager themselves after appointing Maurizio Sarri with the future of Eden Hazard high on his agenda but across London Mauricio Pochettino won't be leaving Tottenham Hotspur after signing a new five-year deal.
We will have all the latest news, views, rumours, gossip and done deals right here so don't touch that dial.
The Welshman indicated after his match-winning display in the Champions League final in May that he would leave the club this summer after growing frustrated with a lack of playing time in what should be the prime of his career.
However, circumstances have changed with Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo both leaving the club, creating an opening for Bale to step out of the Portuguese’s shadow.
Liverpool FC manager Jürgen Klopp is hopeful that the optimism surrounding the club will lead to key players, including playmaker Sadio Mane, committing their long-term futures to the Premier League side.
The Merseyside outfit impressed under Klopp last season with the attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Mane spurring the team on to a fourth-placed league finish and the Champions League final.
The club's progress has led to top players, including Salah and Firmino, signing new long-term contracts earlier this year and Klopp is optimistic that Mane will follow suit.
Juventus full-back Alex Sandro appears set to snub the Premier League despite having been linked to both Manchester United and Chelsea, the Daily Mirror reports.
The paper says claims in France suggest the 27-year-old has agreed terms with Paris St Germain over a summer move, with a four-year deal in the pipeline.
A report by The Times on Tuesday notes that a clause in the standard player contract drawn up by the Professional Footballers’ Association entitles all players to a break of “five weeks in aggregate over the year, of which three weeks may be consecutive.”
Rashford and Jones will join up with United on Wednesday - just two-and-a-half weeks after flying home from England duty as beaten World Cup semi-finalists on 15 July.
Chelsea are monitoring the situation of Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, with a view to a bid if any rival clubs make a move, as there is now a belief by those close to the player that the Serbian international would favour a switch to Chelsea.
The 23-year-old’s fine performances in the World Cup continued a spell where he has caught the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, especially Manchester United and Real Madrid.
United had seemed set to conclude a deal before Russia 2018, only for both the complications of his Lazio contract and price to put them off.
Such issues have also so far prevented Chelsea making a move, but Milinkovic-Savic is seen as someone who could potentially be a focal point of a top side in the mould of Eden Hazard.
Jack Grealish will make it clear to Aston Villa's owners that he wants to pursue his dreams of Champions League football and join Tottenham, the Daily Telegraph reports.
Spurs are said to be ready to make an offer for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder as soon as this week.
After a reported £55million takeover by Egyptian billionaire Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens eased Villa's financial concerns the club will be less inclined to sell their talisman.
However ambitious Grealish is said to want out and Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly determined to sign him this summer.
Jose Mourinho is now considering alternatives to Willian, with Croatia’s World Cup star Ante Rebic the latest name to attract the Manchester United manager’s attention.
The Portuguese is this summer determined to bring in the type of wide player he feels is essential to his system and, although Willian has long been his primary target from their time together at Chelsea, the difficulty of a deal has led to United looking at other targets.
It’s just that, continuing what has already been a frustrating summer, there are similar complications with other options.
Ivan Perisic was the winger he wanted to bring in last year, but United couldn’t strike a deal with Internazionale and although Mourinho would greatly like the Croatian again, his brilliant performances at the World Cup have seen his price explode.
The club are naturally reluctant to pay a fee of what would be around £80m for a player set to turn 30 this season.
Toby Alderweireld is still Jose Mourinho’s first choice for a Manchester United centre-half this summer, with the expectation now that the pursuit will go right to the end of the transfer window.
A deal so far has not happened due to the fact Tottenham Hotspur would prefer Anthony Martial included in any negotiation, or for United to at the very least meet a hardline valuation of £55m.
The Old Trafford hierarchy have so far been reluctant to do either, with some of that influenced by Alderweireld’s desire to leave and an expectation that might yet change the situation or force Spurs’ hands.
With CEO Daniel Levy so far predictably unbending, though, it has led United to look at alternative options.
Leicester City’s Harry Maguire is chief among those, while the club have also been looking at Internazionale’s Milan Skriniar, among a few other potential fall-backs.
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel has refused to comment on a move for N’Golo Kante amid reports the Frenchman could leave Chelsea this summer.
Kante, who helped drive France to winning the World Cup this month, has drawn the interest of PSG following the arrival of Maurizio Sarri as new Chelsea manager.
The Blues are hoping to persuade the 27-year-old to stay at Stamford Bridge with a new contract as Sarri hopes he will be key to the high-pressing game he wants to play.
Kylian Mbappe admitted to slipping notes into Kante’s pocket during the World Cup to try and lure him to PSG but Tuchel, who took over from now-Arsenal boss Unai Emery in the summer, insists it is ‘not fair’ to speak about players of other clubs.
Leicester's Ahmed Musa is being linked with a £40million move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, the Leicester Mercury reports.
The paper says the striker appears to have little future at the King Power Stadium, having spent the second half of last season on loan at CSKA Moscow.
