It’s that time of the season when we nurse palpitations for incomings and outgoings from clubs, and today we look at some hot and sizzling transfer news across the top five leagues ahead of the official opening of the transfer window.

Chelsea are eyeing a move for Neymar.

It’s going to cost a lot of money, but Chelsea is never afraid to spend. News from the French capital this morning is that Chelsea could move for Brazilian super star Neymar Jr. after PSG alerted the public of their interest in pruning down numbers ahead of incomings. 

Chelsea won’t pass on an opportunity to add the showman to their ranks this summer.

Pulisic to AC Milan?

With Chelsea reportedly eyeing a move for PSG’s Neymar, the Blues must create space and also shed some weight in the summer window. 

One of the players that would leave is Captain America, Christian Pulisic, and despite Juventus’ interest, AC Milan could be the destination for the injury-prone forward, and Champions League football is certainly the lure in that regard.

Chelsea set to frustrate Brighton on Colwill

Brighton and Hove Albion had a £30m bid turned down by Chelsea for defender Levi Colwill, but the Seagulls aren’t giving up on their man, as they’re reportedly preparing an improved bid for the versatile centre back. 

Chelsea has had to pay a premium for Brighton stars in the past, with Marc Cucurella coming to mind, but Brighton believes a bid of £40 million should do the job.

What is happening in Saudi Arabia?

Following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in January, the Saudi League reportedly injected some $20 billion to improve the league and bring in foreign stars, and the summer is about to be huge. 

Karim Benzema joined Al Ittihad on a mega deal, and word on the street is that N’golo Kante, Wilfred Zaha, and Angel Di Maria have offers on the table from Saudi clubs. Crazy times are ahead.

Manchester United to sign Rabiot?

French star Adrien Rabiot’s deal has expired in Turin, and he’s looking for a fresh challenge. 

Manchester United will throw their hat in the ring as the Red Devils try again to land the 2018 World Cup winner after failing to do so last summer due to minor contractual issues. Will United get their man?
