We are less than three months from the summer transfer window and the rumour mill is in full operation.
Our friends at Football Whispers have scoured the European press to bring you the latest transfer news from across the continent.
James Rodriguez prefers a move to Manchester United over Chelsea, Liverpool or Bayern Munich. The German champions are reportedly close behind United, but Jose Mourinho's promise of regular first-team football has convinced the Colombian that Old Trafford is the destination for him. (Don Balon)
Speculation linking James away from the Bernabeu has been fuelled by the player's reaction to being substituted during Real Madrid's 4-2 victory over Leganes. The 25-year-old refused to shake Zinedine Zidane's hand and punched the bench in frustration. (AS)
Chelsea star Eden Hazard has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer, but Cristiano Ronaldo does not want the club to sign the Belgian, or any other 'big egos' to ensure he retains his crown as Los Blancos' main man. (Diario Gol)
Inter Milan are open to the sale of Croatian forward Ivan Perisic to Manchester United, but the deal could cost the Red Devils as much as €60million. The Nerazzurri's owners have instructed sporting director Piero Ausilio to sell some of their top talent to ensure the club comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules. (Gazzetta dello Sport)
Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan have been given a boost in their pursuit of Fiorentina's 23-year-old winger Federico Bernardeschi, as La Viola do not want to sell to their bitter rivals Juventus. (Calciomercato)
Meanwhile, Inter are set to rival Arsenal for the services of Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim. Stefano Pioli's men have lost five of their last ten matches, while the Ligue 1 side are top of the league and through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. (Tuttosport)
French club Marseille are set to launch an audacious €60million bid for Manchester United and Chelsea target Andre Silva. The 21-year-old Porto forward has scored 15 goals in 25 League appearances this season. (Calciomercato)
Alternatively Marseille could turn to Juventus' Mario Mandzukic or AC Milan's Carlos Bacca to bolster their attacking options, with the Old Lady's Croatian striker the club's priority. (Calciomercato)
Real Madrid target Eden Hazard should snub a move to La Liga, according to former Blues midfielder Michael Ballack. "He is a more introverted guy, who would have a hard time developing his reputation in Madrid.
"It's more fun to beat the superstars than to play with them." (Sport Bild)
Crystal Palace's French midfielder Yohan Cabaye is happy in England and wants to remain in the Premier League, despite recent reports linking him with a move to Marseille - though not necessarily with Crystal Palace. According to pundit Florian Gazan "Cabaye wants to stay in the Premier League above everything else". (L'Equipe)
