an interesting player who has regained his strength. TT would definitely make him even better

It looks like Tottenham won't even think of selling Harry Kane if they get an offer valued under £150m. I wonder whether there will be a team that are willing pay at least this amount of money this summer. I hope Real Madrid or Manchester City manage to sign him. These are the clubs that I like to see him playing at the most.

Thomas Tuchel has probably the most difficult game to play tonight against Atlético.
Talking about transfers, I am now convinced more than eve that Chelsea could have chosen a better alternative for Frankie Lampard. I like Tuchel's strategy and tactics a lot but now he is facing key transfer decisions as Chelsea's squad is definitely overstocked.

Can anybody compile a nice list for the top transfer targets for the top 5 leagues in Europe and where they’re rumored they might be going?  I’ll update and post it  at the OP.  I’ll be giving away some merits as a token of appreciation.  Thanks!

Hard to make a list right now but...

Pogba // Juve - Real
Messi // PSG - City
Aouar // Juve
Mbappe // Real
Haaland // Real

What's the rating for this? Hottest rumours or most likely candidates?

EPL
Hugo Lloris – to PSG (Poch buy)
Odsonne Edouard – to Arsenal (to replace Lacazette, but up to Celtic;) )
Daniel Sturridge – to Newcastle
Pogba off - OSG says he won't play anymore

Bundesliga
Jerome Boateng to Chelsea - supposedly done deal
Jadon Sancho to United - finally???

Ligue 1
Sven Botman – to Liverpool but can he leave when his team are on the up? Liverpool failed to sign on deadline but they should try again
Mbappe - to Liverpool (Apparently Klopp spoke to him ahaha)

Serie A
Brahim Diaz - loan at Milan to be made permanent

La Liga
Messi - City, coach-player reunion
Ramos to United (United liked the effect of Cavani, free transfer why not)
Martin Odegaard - to Arsenal. Loan to be made permanent.

It looks like that Kylian Mbappe is only interested in going to Liverpool or Real Madrid if he decides to leave PSG. There are also some rumours that Real Madrid are already making some plans to be able to sign him. I wonder if Liverpool also will make a move after hearing that.

I don't know if Liverpool would ever pay €200mio for a player. On the other hand Kylian Mbappe is still young so I think he will be worth it.

Nymar is still the most expensive player and I think Kylian Mbappe is better now then Nymar back in those days.

It'll be in Harry's best interest to leave Spurs now he is still somewhat at his best and firing in goals right, left and center, I don't think Spurs are as yet capable of winning a major trophy, even after signing Jose, they still look some miles away from the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool. Kane wants to win trophies I'm sure, he thus needs to move to a team that are used to winning trophies, but having said that, it's always difficult for clubs to do business with Spurs, they are always keen to get the best deal for themselves alone, any club that would stand a chance to sign Kane will surely have to break the bank, and this could change their mind, hence leaving Harry with no choice than to stay at the White Hart Lane.

If the battle to sign Mbappe is only between Real and Liverpool, then I think Madrid will win at the end, they'll most likely bring the higher amount of money, and Mbappe seems to admire the club so much.

I don't also give any chance for Manchester Utd to pay Pogba's astronomical release clause. They are thinking Valverde for Pogba's place but it is still not clear if Pogba will leave the club this summer or not. Pogba's market value is €65m now which is €70m for Valverde. When it comes to a swap between Pogba and Valverde, I know that Real Madrid are very interested in Pogba and it makes the possibility of a swap higher.

I thought Pogba was returning to Juventus? Or maybe Pirlo feels he will not be able to control so many big personalities at the club as he seems to have trouble right now dealing with them already,,,

Whatever it is. I wish for United to spend ALL their money;)

There is not a certain information about what he wants to do this summer actually.    I'd also like to see him at Juventus playing with Ronaldo. But there are many good players in their midfield position and this transfer can't be very reasonable. They can have important problems to deal with like you said.

Both rumors and most likely candidates would be nice.  I wanna do another write up for the thread on where I think they’re going based on the news, rumors and the betting market. 

And I want to get back into football again and the transfer market is always a good start before the next season starts.  It has always been fun following it.

I don’t see why Man City would push to sign Messi, he’s nearly 34. Surely they’d be better off going for Mbappe or Haaland. Messi is the GOAT but he’s getting old, surely you would want to sign a player yet to reach his peak.

Manchester City is probably the only time now who can pay the Messi salary (this depended always if new sponsors will come for other teams).
Premier League is full of money.

PSG lost 200 in 2 seasons due to the Covid situation, they already have Neymar with huge salary, they can have Messi IMHO only if they will sell Mbappè wanted by Real.

Messi can still be a great player for Manchester City but it all depends on the transfer amount. They can't ask that much anymore for an older player but if the price is reasonalble he could still be of value to the team.

I think this is happens because of Guardiola, Messi and him have a good relationship. I think he wants to maximized his strategy with bringing Messi. 34 yo not too old, Messi still have a skill and speed. Indeed, the EPL is famous for games that rely on speed which may not suit with Messi's age. But if we look back on other old players in the past, Messi can still keep up with the EPL rhythm.

Not all star player is able to adapt with a new team and a new competition.
LaLiga and EPL has different rhythm, so there is no guarantee that Messi will be able to play as great as when he play in LaLiga.
Any players need a process to adapt and it may take a bit longer time, so I do think it is better if City look for younger player as it can be a long term purpose.
I'm afraid if City sign Messi, City will become a "one man centered" team which wont work in EPL

Maybe this. Pep and Leo got along very well even if they had some fights every now and then. In the end it is about Messi's contract which I believe is a very big one: this situation reminds me when Ronaldo decided to play for Juve, they basically got a win-win situation due to the very low taxation that Ronaldo found in Italy (that is the main reason why he decide to play there, not else).

Everton may be the biggest winners from Moise Kean's brilliance in front of Barcelona, press reports confirming his effort to sell his loaned player for 60 million euros in the summer, after he was ready to be sold for 20 last summer.
 Real Madrid is interested in signing Villarreal star Pau Torres the 24yo Spanish central defender is valuated at 50m euros so he will be more likely to replace Sergio Ramos ho is walking as a free agent at the end of the season.
