Saturday's speculation includes Chelsea's big bid for a Brazilian and Arsenal's aim to convince Atletico Madrid to part with Julian Alvarez.
In the club's unrelenting desire to sign every top teenage talent in the game,Chelsea have set their sights on Endrick.
The 19-year-old has struggled to settle atReal Madrid, but a stunning start to his loan at Lyon, including a hat-trick against Metz, has captured Chelsea's imagination. The big-spending Blues are lining up an €80m bid, according to the Spanish media
Arsenal have made Julian Alvarez their top target for the summer. With Viktor Gyokeres having failed to be the answer to their goalscoring prayers, Alvarez is being targeted as the new final piece of the puzzle. TEAMtalk are reporting that the Gunners are preparing to offer the Spanish side a Samba sweetener to bring down Alvarez's asking price, with Gabriel Martinelli or Gabriel Jesus on the table.
Fichajes claim there could be some other notable La Liga and Premier League trading this summer. Barcelona want to sign Lisandro Martinez from Manchester United, though confidence that a €30m fee will be enough might be misguided...
Meanwhile,Real Madrid are reportedly ready to cash in on Eduardo Camavinga. Arsenal and Liverpool are at the front of the queue for the Frenchman.
In what could soon join Harry Redknapp and Peter Crouch in the annals of the managers and players who can't be kept apart, Sean Dyche is reportedly plotting a reunion withDwight McNeil.
Having worked with the winger atBurnley and Everton, Dyche is weighing up a bid to bring McNeil to Nottingham Forest before the deadline, say Sky Sports.
Finally, Forest are nearing another January deal. An agreement has been reached to signStefan Ortega from Manchester City, whose deal was due to expire in the summer.
The German goalkeeper has been ousted by summer signings Gianluigi Donnarumma and James Trafford at the Etihad this season. A short-term deal, until the summer, is close to completion.
