It's mostly still just Liverpool waving their Champions League cash about. Add Dejan Lovren, Steven Caulker, Michael Vorn and Barcelona attacker Pedro to the already massive list of targets if you want, but we're getting to the point where it'll be easier to keep track of players they haven't been linked with. The Adam Lallana deal might have hit a snag though, £25m's a bit too steep apparently, as is £24m for Verona winger Juan Manuel Iturbe. Also, Daniel Agger's on his way.
Toni Kroos to Man Utd was happening, and then it wasn't. Thomas Muller won't be playing at Old Trafford next season either. None of this has stopped Luis van Gaal making Marouane Fellaini available to anyone willing to pay £15m though. Good luck with that...
Man City have turned their attentions to Roma defender Mehdi Benatia on account of Eliaquim Mangala dragging his feet, but the Bacary Sagna deal looks to be sorted. He'll be earning £140,000 a week. FFP, baby!
David Luiz to PSG for £50m, honestly. Genuine rumour, not 'honestly' as in actually happening.
There's talk of Cesc Fabregas returning to Arsenal this summer. But will he? Failing that, Real Sociedad attacker Antonie Griezmann could be available for £18m. Arsene Wenger's also held talks with Loic Remy, as have Liverpool, and a £12m bid for Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin could be on the cards too. Although the Scousers are interested in him as well, obviously.
It's not all doom and gloom for the Saints mind, Scott Sinclair could be joining for £3m. Though just when things seem to be on the up, you hear of Hull wanting to spend the same amount on Jose Fonte, pretty much their only player who hadn't previously been linked with a move away. And it's back to square one.
