Aurelien Tchouameni wanted to move to Real Madrid over other European clubs in order to get his transfer over the line.
Kylian Mbappe's U-turn to stay at Paris Saint-Germain left the funds that had been allocated to his hefty signing-on fee and superstar wages available to be spent elsewhere.
The team needs something. The squad is well balanced. The signing of Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco gives the team a top-level alternative to Casemiro in defensive midfield, while the signing of centre-back Antonio Rudiger on a free transfer from Chelsea strengthens the defence. There is room for a forward addition if the right opportunity arises.
The major targets are not known. President Florentino Perez stated this month that there was no more room in the squad for now, with any incomings depending on which players leave during July and August. Borja Mayoral is currently on a two-year loan at Roma and the club are looking to add a young forward. The backup for Dani Carvajal at right-back will be Alvaro Odriozola. The club has made an initial bid to sign the Chicago Fire and U.S. U20 goalkeeper Slonina.
Someone could be leaving. Marco Asensio's contract expires next year and a decision needs to be made on whether or not to keep him. Earlier this year, Asensio switched agents, and he is now represented by a different agent. He can either sign a new deal, run down his contract or move in this window. Ceballos needs to decide if he wants to play regular football in order to get into the Spain squad. It has been the case for a while that the club would like to move on Luka and Mariano. Second-choice keeper Andriy Lunin might want to get more minutes, even though he barely featured last season, while Jesus Vallejo has slipped even further down the pecking order with the arrival of Rudiger.
Is there a new contract? After one of his best seasons at the age of 36, Luka Modric has signed on for one more year. A new contract and wage increase for star winger Vinicius Junior is imminent, with only the length of the deal preferred by the player's camp.
Gab and Juls talk about reports linking a Milan player to a Barcelona player.
There is a team called Barcelona.
It's a hard one. Barcelona are only allowed to spend 25% of anything they make in transfers or save in wages if the saving is worth at least 5% of their total squad costs. Players have to leave before anyone can come in. The sale of merchandising and television rights could change that.
The team needs something. There are a lot of areas on the Barcelona side that need to be upgraded. The coach wants to strengthen the defence, add width and sign a strikers.
The major targets are not known. There are two free transfers, one from AC Milan and the other from CHELSEA. Ousmane Dembele's decision to stay or leave at the end of his contract will affect the options on the wing for Barcelona. There are talks to sign Azpilicueta and Alonso, as well. In a world where money is available, Barcelona could potentially move for Sevilla defender Kounde and Manchester City's Bernardo Silva.
Someone could be leaving. Several players have already been told that they aren't part of Xavi's plans. Some of them are willing to stay. Most of the squad will be listened to when it comes to offers, but especially in the case of Memphis Depay and De Jong. Dembele's contract is due to end on June 30. The offer from Barcelona is still on the table, but he will leave.
Is there a new contract? A new deal is about to be signed. After an amazing first season in senior football, the 17-year-old has quickly outgrew his current terms, worth around $100,000 annually. The contracts of Ansu Fati, Pedri and Ronald Araujo have been renewed.
Atleti Madrid.
As a result of securing a 10th consecutive season of European football, the budget of Atleti has been safeguarded and they have enough money to spend where they please.
The team needs something. There is no need for major surgery this summer because last season's squad was recognised as being one of the strongest in the club's history. The right-back position is the most important position to strengthen because of the lack of replacements for Trippier. It remains to be seen if a replacement for Luis Suarez will join the attack or if the club will bring in aMidfielder to cover the departure of Hector Herrera.
The major targets are not known. The well-travelled Axel Witsel is available on a free transfer after leaving the German club. A one-year deal is being looked at by the club as a possibility for Witsel. No one has emerged as a leading candidate at right-back. It would be great if a player could also fill in at center-back.
Someone could be leaving. The uncertainty over Morata's future is making it difficult for the club to plan. The Spain forward is returning after a two-year loan at the Italian club with the club unwilling or unable to pay the 35m clause in his contract. By the end of the transfer window, there is no guarantee that Morata will still be a member of Atleti. If that situation is solved, they can look at alternatives. There is a decision to be made on the future of Saul Niguez, who disappointed on loan at Chelsea last season, as well as on the future ofAntoine Griezmann, who is determined to stay and make a success of his second spell at the club.
Is there a new contract? Jan Oblak and Thomas Lemar are out of contract in June. New deals for both would be in the works. If Lemar doesn't accept the club's renewal offer, they might have to let him go now rather than lose him for free.
Should Romelu Lukaku return to Inter Milan, Frank Leboeuf thinks Robert Lewandowski would be a good fit at the Blues.
There is a bayern munICH.
The budget was 80 million. They have fortified their budget for the summer because they are well-stocked with cash. They will be flush with 40m if Robert leaves.
The team needs something. Key deals have been secured by the team. There could be more reinforcements in the middle of the field, as well as another strikers, if he leaves before his contract ends. The squad depth looks good after the signings of Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui. The 41m acquisition of Sadio Mane could see him replace Robert Lewandowski, but don't rule out another strikers coming in.
The major targets are not known. Konrad Laimer is a player that is being watched by the club. They have been impressed with Laimer's aggression and energy as a box-to-boxMidfielder. With Benjamin Pavard set to move into a centre-back role, it's not likely that the club will look for another defender before the market closes.
Someone could be leaving. Everyone knows the name of one man. Should the club receive a 40m transfer offer, they will not stand in the way of the Poland forward leaving. The hope is that Gravenberch can step up and fill the void left by Roca, who never really settled at the German club. Serge Gnabry has been linked with an exit due to his contract negotiations hitting issues.
Is there a new contract? In May, two key veterans in Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer signed deals, but it hasn't been made clear if they also signed a deal with another player. According to reports, the live-wire attacker has turned down several offers from the club as he seeks a better deal. The expectation is that he will eventually sign an extension, but until he expects a lot of rumors about his future, he won't.
There is a Russian word for "Borussia".
The 60m exit of Haaland appeased the financial heads at the club but there will still be money for some smart deals. It could be between 40m and 70m.
The team needs something. Major departures tend to dictate what the windows look like. When Haaland's 60m release clause became active, they were prepared for that loss and almost immediately paid 38m to sign Adeyemi. The priority is still a centre-forward. Marco Rose was replaced as manager by Edin Terzic and Sebastian Kehl took over as sporting director from Michael Zorc. A lot has been done with the arrivals of Adeyemi, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Ozcan, and Meyer.
The major targets are not known. Sebastian Haller is fresh off an outstanding season in which he scored 34 goals in 42 games, and he will be moving to Dortmund in order to replace Haaland's goals. The Hoffenheim defender is a key target for a number of clubs. Kehl might have to pay close to 40m for a player who can play both left-back and left-middling. Both Kalajdzic and Borna Sosa have been linked with other people.
Someone could be leaving. With Haaland already gone, there's no pressure to let any other stars leave. They will have to deal with that during the summer. It will be a case of moving on deadwood if Kehl is to re-energise the club. All but Emre Can have left on free transfers. There could be ways for attackers to get out.
Is there a new contract? Talks are going on with both Bellingham and Dahoud.
It's a shame that Kylian Mbappe didn't leave Paris Saint-Germain for Real Madrid.
The name of the club is Paris Saint-Germain.
A lot of the club's budget was spent on the new contract for Kylian Mbappe, giving him a salary of 57m net per season, plus various bonuses potentially worth 100m over the three years of the deal. It's possible that up to 120m is left for new arrivals. The club plans to make more money from letting players leave.
The team needs something. Luis Campos is a new sporting advisor. A new manager is the most important thing. It is expected that Mauricio Pochettino will be fired this week, but negotiations are still going on with Nice for his replacement.
The major targets are not known. The summer's first signing is expected to be FC Porto's 22-year-old Riviinha. The Inter Milan centre-back is on the list. Sanches is a target because he is a big fan of scamacca. There was a first offer that was not accepted.
Someone could be leaving. There are a lot of people on this list. Not all of them will leave. There is someone else. According to sources, the Brazilian wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. Angel Di Maria will leave at the end of his contract.
Is there a new contract? The only new contract the club were willing to give was toMbappe. Marquinhos is the closest to getting an extension at the moment, while Kimpembe is getting impatient. Talented 18-year-old attacking midfielder Ismael Gharbi has signed his first professional contract and should be the next one.
Zlatan Ibrahimsson was ruled out for up to eight months with an injury, and Stewart andAlexis debated his future.
AC Milan is in Italy.
Milan will want to stand still now that they have won the title. They could have around 75m to spend with Redbird.
The team needs something. The attacking areas could do with some bolstering given the eight-month injury to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The right-sided issue needs to be solved. Yacine Adli is going to get a chance with the first team after returning from a loan at Bordeaux. Milan have some minor changes to make, but they will need to replace Kessie, who is bound for Barcelona.
The major targets are not known. A free transfer for Origi is close to being completed and Sanches is close to arriving. There is a lot of competition for the signature of the French club's defender, who has been linked with a move to Milan. Club Brugge pair Noa Lang and Charles De Ketelaere have been linked as the club looks to reinforce attacking areas with some flair. Real Madrid's Asensio has been linked to many things.
Someone could be leaving. Junior Messias andAlexis Saelemaekers could be allowed to leave if the team is able to sign a new player. It's possible that Samu Castillejo will return to Spain. As well as those, other people will be going towards the exit door. Despite speculation, one player who won't be leaving is forward Rafael Leao, who emerged into a top talent this season. Links to Real Madrid won't go away, but it looks like the Portuguese will be staying in Milan unless a club offers a transfer fee of 120 million.
Is there a new contract? Not on the field. Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are crucial to Milan's future. The first job of the new owners was to make sure that those two were still in place. Milan can look forward to a bright future.
Dybala should be signed by Inter Milan on a free transfer, according to Laurens.
Inter Milan.
Whatever they can get from moving players is included in the budget. The club is in financial trouble, but they want to avoid the loss of a big star. Should they want to improve the squad depth, it will be inevitable.
The team needs something. Milan beat Inter on the last day of the season to win the title. The club came away with a trophy for the first time in 11 years, and also won the domestic Super Cup, after raising 175m from the exits of Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku. The squad is thin, with plenty of players out on loan, but more attack minded players will be key as they look to keep playing free-flowing football.
The major targets are not known. Signing Dybala on a free transfer is one of the things Inter are focused on. Both players are interested in joining the club, but the wage structure of Inter makes it difficult. It will all depend on clearing wages and possibly one major exit. Other than those two, there are other possibilities. If Inter moves on either Bastoni or Skriniar, Torino's Bremer and Fiorentina's Milenkovic could be defensive incomings.
Someone could be leaving. The idea is to get a lot of older high earner off the wage bill and then let them go. It could be difficult to make decisions over Lauturo, Bastoni and Skriniar. Major holes in the squad would be left if they got a large transfer fee. Inter's high interest payments and the need to build a new squad make balancing the books a priority.
Is there a new contract? There is a push to get Skriniar on a new contract by the end of the decade. He could commit his future to Inter if he stays. According to David Cartlidge, Coach Inzaghi is going to sign a new deal in June.
Gab and Juls are debating if a return to Bianconeri would suit Paul Pogba.
His name is Juventus.
The budget was 80 million. Despite the departures of Giorgio Chiellini and Dybala, the club's wage bill has been reduced. With a major turnover of the squad required, it may be necessary for the Bianconeri to go big in the market to compete for the title again.
The team needs something. A large amount. There are departures in key areas and a general squad revamping happening. Reinforcements are needed for centre-back, left-back and the like. There will be a need to sign a backup for 70m. Another trophy-less season won't be accepted and it adds extra pressure on the restoration job being done this summer.
The major targets are not known. There are some more interesting names being linked, such as Cagliari's Nicolo Zaniolo. There is talk the former is holding out for a contract offer from Barcelona in order to get a free transfer. The cover for Vlahovic has been mentioned as the ex-Stoke forward.
Someone could be leaving. There's a lot. Another team is going to undergo major surgery this summer with many changes afoot. Chiellini, Bernardeschi and Dybala will leave at the end of their contracts, while Morata will return to Atlante after two years. Only Juan Cuadrado and Moise Kean are safe, with the futures of other players up in the air.
Is there a new contract? If there is a revolution in Turin, De Sciglio will be a part of it. The young defender Matthijs de Ligt has been linked with a move, but he wants to stay with the club.
