According to reports, several big names could be making moves this week, and our friends at Football Whispers are here to bring you the latest news from across Europe.
Alvaro Morata has reportedly already signed a contract with Atletico Madrid, with an official announcement expected soon. (Cadena Cope)
Real Madrid are still hoping to make Eden Hazard a key part of the 'dramatic surgery' that the team will undergo in the summer. The Spanish club are hoping they can get the Belgian for less than €100m (£88m) as, by the time negotiations begin later this year, Hazard will be in the final year of his contract. (Marca)
Meanwhile, Luka Modric has played down rumours that he might leave Madrid for Inter. The 33-year-old has been linked with a move to the Italian club, but has affirmed that he still has 18 months left on his contract at Real and would like to stay longer. (Marca)
Frenkie de Jong continues to be a prize being fought over. Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has visited Amsterdam, which has made the 21-year-old reconsider his decision to join Paris Saint-Germain. In response, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has sent two representatives of his own. (Sport)
Diego Godin could be on his way to Inter Milan. Inter's CEO Giuseppe Marotta has said the Atletico Madrid centre-back is one of a number of players whose agents are 'knocking at Inter's door'. (Calciomercato)
West Ham and Newcastle have entertained the agent of Bologna player Mattia Destro. The 27-year-old striker has struggled at his current club and has sent his representatives to meet with interested Premier League sides. (Il Resto del Carlino)
Krzysztof Piatek may play for Genoa against AC Milan on Monday before joining them the very next day. The subject of a lot of attention, Piatek will be officially announced as a Milan player on Tuesday, and will make his debut against Napoli next Saturday. (Gazzetta dello Sport)
Aaron Ramsey is not the limit of Juventus' future purchasing; Tanguy Ndombele is now a target for the Serie A holders. They will hold a meeting next week to discuss a transfer for Lyon's highly-rated 22-year-old midfielder. (Tuttosport)
Watford is not an attractive enough proposition to tempt Lyon's Maxwel Cornet, it seems. The Premier League club were willing to offer the 22-year-old attacker a hike in wages, but the Ivory Coast international does not believe in the club's 'project'. (L'Equipe)
Bordeaux have reached an agreement with Leicester City midfielder Adrien Silva. The deal is thought to be a loan move which could then be made permanent. However, Claude Puel needs to give the deal the ok. (L'Equipe)
According to Adrien Silva's father, though, Claude Puel has been 'picking on' the Portuguese midfielder and not allowing him to leave the club. (A Bola)
Julian Weigl will stay at Borussia Dortmund, despite rarely playing so far this season and interest from former manager Thomas Tuchel at PSG. "Weigl will stay at Dortmund," the club's sporting director Michael Zorc has said. (ZDF)
