We are a week away from the summer transfer window and we see that clubs across Europe are stepping up their efforts to spend some cash and upgrade their gear.
Chelsea appear poised to be the biggest spender once again as they target a new striker, defender and midfielder. Erling Haaland and Harry Kane are dream signings, although both seem potentially out of reach, while Aston Villa talisman Jack Grealish, Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham and Inter Milan winger Achraf Hakimi are also targets.
Manchester City are expected to sign a forward following the departure of Sergio Aguero, and Kane is more likely to fill that gap. Incoming Tottenham coach Paulo Fonseca will be desperate to prevent that from happening, while bolstering his own squad with a right-back and center-back, at least.
Jadon Sancho is expected to rejoin Manchester United after agreeing on personal terms, despite the club seeing an opening offer rejected by Dortmund. Kieran Trippier, Raphael Varane and Saul Niguez are also on the wish list, while Sergio Ramos, who is leaving Real Madrid this week, is a long-term target.

Barcelona president on the agreement with Messi, FFP
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is confident that Lionel Messi will sign a new contract with the club… but admits that money could be a problem.
In the presentation of a new documentary entitled ‘Messi, the tenth art’, Laporta said: “Leo Messi’s boots will continue on the Camp Nou field. He wants to stay.
«I do not contemplate a no. But it is not easy. We will do what we can. There is no need to seduce him, he is determined if there are a number of circumstances to stay.
Laporta said a new deal could be announced “… as soon as possible”, but says finding a way around the club’s difficult financial situation could be a problem.

Okay, but you haven’t signed yet. Kun Agüero tells him every day: ‘Sign that, we’ll play together.’
Laporta hinted that Messi is willing to accept a lower salary than he is now, but that it could still prove too expensive for the club to balance.
“In economic terms, he has made it very easy, but Financial Fair Play is another battlefield.”
