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 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.
Former Barcelona forward and Spain international Pedro has agreed a one-year contract extension with Chelsea, ensuring he will remain a part of Maurizio Sarri's plans this season.
Chelsea are still on the lookout for new signings this summer after seeing Gonzalo Higuain head to AC Milan, but it's the futures of two of their current players that remains the biggest talking point at Stamford Bridge.
Willian's future remains up in the air after Chelsea snubbed interest from Manchester United and two offers from Barcelona. The midfielder has not yet returned from his post-World Cup holiday, citing "passport issues", and Maurizio Sarri has now had his say on the matter.
There's also doubts about Thibaut Courtois' position in the squad, with Real Madrid keen on the goalkeeper.
Claude Puel has joked “Manchester United are making trouble” with their interest in Harry Maguire, as he defended Leicester City’s reluctance to sell the England star.
Jose Mourinho is desperate for a new central defender this summer and, with little over a week left in the transfer window, Maguire is one of the names on his list, along with Yerry Mina and Toby Alderweireld.
“I think perhaps United wanted to make trouble before our game!
“It's not the thing to try to make trouble but I think he's a better player for us.
“It's our intent to keep him and just a few days before the start of the season it would not be a good thing for the squad, for confidence and for Leicester football club.”
Unai Emery is ready to sell Danny Welbeck, The Sun reports.
Everton could stump up £15million for the England striker, who has not yet been offered an extension to his contact, which is up in a year, the paper says.
Goalkeeper David Ospina and forward Lucas Perez could also be put on the market, according to The Sun.
Having only scored 15 Premier League goals in four seasons, Welbeck could be passed over for the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Alexandre Lacazette in Emery's long-term plans.
Ahmed Musa has moved from Leicester City to Al-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian club said.
Musa, 25, was the Foxes' record signing when he moved to the King Power for £16.6million in 2016, but failed to hold down a place and was loaned back to his old club CSKA Moscow for part of last season.
The Nigerian international found the net six times in 10 appearances at the Russian club, three times as many as he managed in his 21 Premier League appearances.
He scored twice at the World Cup, with both goals coming against Iceland in the Group D clash.
Al-Nassr said he had signed a four-year contract but did not disclose the transfer fee.
Frank Lampard believes Derby offers Mason Mount the ideal platform to remain in the thoughts of England manager Gareth Southgate.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder was invited to train with the senior England squad prior to them flying out to Russia for this summer's World Cup.
Mount has been capped by England up to under-19 level but he impressed Southgate while on loan at Vitesse Arnhem last season, winning the Eredivisie side's player of the year award after contributing 14 goals and 11 assists.
Tottenham are clear favourites in the race to sign Jack Grealish from cash-strapped Aston Villa, but manager Steve Bruce has addressed his future in today's press conference ahead of the start of the Championship season.
In what is not that surprising, Bruce has claimed that Spurs are "nowhere near" Villa's valuation of Grealish, despite the midfielder wanting a move to the Premier League after a year in the second tier.
Jose Mourinho is now considering alternatives to Willian, with Croatia’s World Cup star Ante Rebic the latest name to attract the Manchester United manage’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.
Real Madrid are still aiming to bring in two “Galacticos” this summer to both replace Cristiano Ronaldo and symbolise the start of a new era at the club, as they seek to reshape their team.
The Independent has been told that Neymar remains the principal target for this summer, with sources from both the Bernabeu and Paris Saint-Germain stating there is still almost “daily” contact between intermediaries to try and do a deal.
Eden Hazard is their next target, although those close to Chelsea say the Stamford Bridge hierarchy are adamant they will not sell.
Both purchases are seen as very difficult to pull off this summer, but this has not dissuaded president Florentino Perez, who remains confident that Madrid can complete deals “other clubs can’t”.
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.
Chelsea have also emerged as a possible destination.
Raheem Sterling's calculation that a blinding World Cup would bolster his position in contract talks with Manchester City appears to have backfired, the Daily Mirror reports.
The England star is said to have been seeking improved personal terms to his £170,000-a-week deal, although he delayed talks until after his return from Russia.
While the Three Lions' campaign won plaudits, Sterling's value is said to have remained relatively constant and attention from big international clubs has not been forthcoming.
His contract with City is up in 2020, although he will have to sign an extension before next summer, the paper says.
Chelsea may have to fight off Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich if they want to turn their interest in Anthony Martial into a successful bid, Sky Sports News reports.
All three clubs are said to fancy their chances of landing Manchester United's France forward, 22, who has a year left on his contract.
The broadcaster says it understands Martial has told Jose Mourinho he wants to leave Old Trafford, although the club's top brass think otherwise.
Martial's contract is said to have an option to keep him at the club until 2020 and Chelsea are yet to make a formal offer.
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has admitted that he is “not happy” with Willian’s failure to report for pre-season training on time, confirming that he will seek urgent talks with the player this weekend.
Willian was supposed to report back from his post World Cup holiday last Friday, with Chelsea hopeful he would play some part in Wednesday night’s friendly against Arsenal in Dublin. However, the Brazilian failed to arrive as expected when his passport expired.
A source at the club later confirmed that Willian — who has been persistently linked with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United this summer — did not arrive at Chelsea’s training base until Wednesday afternoon, a full five days after he was originally due back.
Speaking after his side’s penalty shootout defeat to Arsenal, Sarri agreed that the situation was ‘strange’ and said that he wants urgent talks with the 29-year-old.
From east London to south London and Crystal Palace look set to complete a move for Ghana forward Jordan Ayew after sealing the signature of West Ham's Senegalese midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate, reports the Guardian.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery has admitted he “doesn’t know” if Aaron Ramsey is any closer to signing a new contract with the club, after the midfielder missed out on the pre-season penalty shootout victory over Chelsea.
Ramsey is into the last year of his contract and Arsenal are keen to avoid being put in the same situation they had with Alexis Sánchez last season.
Emery has repeatedly insisted that Ramsey is firmly part of his plans for the new season, but has admitted he is in the dark when it comes to knowing whether the Welshman will agree to a contract extension or not.
