Eden Hazard is nearing his dream move from Chelsea to Real Madrid but the Blues are playing hardball and want £100m for the brilliant Belgian.
Madrid are set to be active this summer, with Paul Pogba looking likely to be the window's deal that runs and runs. The club are also interested in signing Tottenham's Christian Eriksen.
Both Manchester clubs are also set to strengthen, with City looking to splurge before any transfer ban comes into place, while United are eyeing a series of options at centre-half. Re-live the day's major news lines:

A Uefa investigation is set to recommend Manchester City be banned from the Champions League over the club’s financial conduct.
Uefa’s investigatory chamber has been looking into City’s accounts following leaks which were revealed in the press last year, amid accusations that the club, which is owned by Sheik Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, flouted the governing body’s Financial Fair Play rules (FFP). City have strongly denied any wrongdoing.
The investigation, led by the former Belgian prime minister Yves Leterme, is expected to conclude later this week or next week, and is set to advise a ban from the Champions League of at least one season, according to The New York Times.
Any attempt to ban City is likely to lead to a momentous and potentially landmark legal battle regarding Uefa’s FFP, the credibility of which has been regularly called into question.
"Maybe he doesn't even want to go to Munich. Maybe he would rather join [Thomas] Tuchel in Paris, [Jürgen] Klopp at Liverpool or [Lucien] Favre at Dortmund."
Daniele De Rossi's 18-year Roma career will finish at the end of this season.
The club have announced that the final game of the season, at home to Parma, will be his last for the club he joined as a teenager in 2000.
De Rossi has made 615 appearances and scored 63 goals in all competitions.
"We will all shed tears when he pulls on the Giallorossi shirt for the last time against Parma but we respect his desire to prolong his playing career - even if, at almost 36, it will be away from Rome," said club president James Pallotta.
The 35-year-old is set for a switch to MLS.
Paul Pogba makes his Manchester United team-mates worse, according to Sky Sports pundit Liam Rosenior.
The French midfielder has come under fierce criticism after United’s terrible season culminated in a final day humiliation at the hands of Cardiff, with one fan abusing him at the final whistle.
The initial bounce under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following Jose Mourinho’s dismissal quickly faded with just two victories in the final 11 matches.
And Rosenior believes Pogba is largely responsible and not a player United can build around.
“Pogba is not the right player that United need right now. Is he a world-class footballer? Yes,” Rosenior told The Debate.
“Is he the type of player that you can use your values, your structure on, make him leader of the team? He’s not.”
Manchester City have seen an opening offer for Tanguy Ndombele rejected by Lyon.
That's according to Le10 Sport.
The midfielder has shone in Ligue 1 and is one of a number of targets for City this summer.
The champions are looking for a long-term replacement for Fernandinho at the base of their midfield and the 22-year-old, who is also wanted by PSG, Juve and Inter, fits the bill.
He'll cost more than £43m though, it appears.
Patrice Evra expects friend and former teammate Paul Pogba to leave Manchester United.
Pogba was heckled by some fans after the embarrassing 2-0 home defeat to relegated Cardiff on Sunday, which is thought to have left the midfielder in an understandably bad mood as he made his way down the tunnel.
United have been steadfast in their stance that the midfielder is not for sale, but fans' favourite Evra cannot help but feel that his former Juventus and France colleague will leave.
"It's not like I am protecting Paul, but when there are incidents like yesterday (Sunday) with the fan, they are killing Paul," the former left-back told Sky Sports.
"He has the most goals, most assists. I know you can question his leadership and in the last few games you want more, so that's why you can criticise him right now, but overall he has been the best player this season.
"Just because it's Paul Pogba, he has haircuts, he dances, his Instagram and everything, people will criticise him while forgetting the player that he is.
"Only him and (David) De Gea can play in a big team in Europe."
The Premier League champions have, however, expressed concern about reports that investigators will push for a Champions League ban before any official statement has been made by the European governing body.
Uefa opened an investigation into alleged financial irregularities at the club earlier this year.
A statement from City read: "Manchester City FC is fully co-operating in good faith with the CFCB IC's (club financial control body investigatory chamber) ongoing investigation.
"In doing so the club is reliant on both the CFCB IC's independence and commitment to due process; and on Uefa's commitment of March 7 that it '...will make no further comment on the matter while the investigation is ongoing'.
"The New York Times report citing 'people familiar with the case' is therefore extremely concerning.
"The implications are that either Manchester City's good faith in the CFCB IC is misplaced or the CFCB IC process is being misrepresented by individuals intent on damaging the club's reputation and its commercial interests. Or both."
