The latest transfer rumors from around the footballing world, including Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and much more.
Barcelona to sign at least four players this summer
The Blaugrana will complete a minimum of four signings in the upcoming transfer window.
Andreas Christensen will be their first, with the Chelsea defender ‘already tied down’. Barcelona have eyes on a new striker as well. Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland is their top target for this position. They also plan to sign a new midfielder, ideally AC Milan’s Franck Kessie, and another center-back or full-back – presumably Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta.
Barcelona may make a fifth or even a sixth signing this summer but that depends on player exits. [Diario Sport]
Lewandowski to join Manchester United?
