The January transfer window is now little more than a distant memory in European football and as such clubs across the continent are already making plans for the summer window. 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. 

Manchester United’s season has gone from bad to worse in 2025 and a large part of that is due to their lack of genuine firepower up front. According to Teamtalk, the Old Trafford club will look to fix that problem by making a move for Victor Osimhen in the summer window. However, the striker’s demands to play in the Champions League and notably high wages could be a huge barrier to the English club signing the Nigerian international. 

Another club that may be looking to make some major changes in the summer are Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola looking to make some serious upgrades in the playmaker department. According to the Daily Mail, the English champions will turn to Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz to be their long-term replacement for Kevin de Bruyne, but will likely have to pay a sizable sum for the German international. 

Of course, Wirtz may not be the only Bundesliga star heading to England this summer. According to German publication Bild, Borussia Dortmund have set their asking price for star winger Jamie Gittens at €102m. The young English talent has been heavily linked with moves to Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent months.
