With the end of the season approaching, Europe's biggest clubs are already plotting their summer moves with a World Cup to negotiate around.
Our friends at Football Whispers have scoured the European media to round up the latest transfer news and big stories.
Italy
Liverpool's Emre Can is torn between Juventus and Bayern Munich. The German midfielder's contract runs out at the end of the season and he did not feature on the images for his current club's new kit launch, giving further hints that he will leave this summer. (Corriere dello Sport)
Inter will double the salary of attacking right-back Joao Cancelo in order to ward off interest from a number of Premier League clubs. The Portuguese is currently on loan from Valencia, but the Serie A side hope to exercise a buyout clause in the contract, which stands at €35m (£30.5m), to make the move permanent. (Gazzetta)
PSG are eagerly awaiting tomorrow's meeting with UEFA on their Financial Fair Play situation. If they are given the green light they will move for highly regarded AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the next transfer window. (Corriere dello Sport)
Spain
Paul Pogba will find it difficult to get a move to one of Spain's big two as Lionel Messi has advised Barcelona to look elsewhere, and Real Madrid don't want to deal with Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola. He is thought to be on a list of players Jose Mourinho will look to offload this summer. (Diario Gol)
Zinedine Zidane is disappointed with the passive attitude displayed by Gareth Bale at Real Madrid, and this was the reason he was withdrawn at half-time in the second leg against Juventus. When asked by Cristiano Ronaldo to show more aggression in the second half, Bale merely smiled. Zidane saw this and replaced him with Lucas Vázquez. The Welshman has been linked with a return to England. (AS)
Germany
It would take a "special" offer for German midfielder Pascal Gross to leave Brighton. After an excellent season on the south coast, the 26-year-old is attracting interest from other clubs in England and Germany. "I feel comfortable in Brighton," he said. "It would have to be a great offer, which you might not get in your career. Something very special." (Kicker)
France
Rennes midfielder Sanjin Prcic could leave the Ligue 1 club for Valencia this summer. The 24-year-old's contract expires in June. (L'Equipe)
Unai Emery has denied being in talks with other clubs, after reports from Spain linked him to Real Sociedad. "I would like to make it clear that I am still focused on Paris Saint-Germain and the objectives that we have left," he tweeted. (Various)
