Juventus have reportedly made Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus their top transfer target despite Cristiano Ronaldo being tipped to remain in Turin next season.
Juve are keen to add more firepower to their squad after finishing fourth in Serie A last season, 13 points behind champions Inter Milan.
Manchester United are 'not far off' agreeing personal terms with Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.
The France international has been a long-term target for Manchester United and could head to Old Trafford for the 2021-2022 season after Real admitted they would be willing to sanction his exit.
Southampton have sold teenager Alex Jankewitz to Swiss club Young Boys for an undisclosed fee.
The Switzerland-born midfielder, 19, joined the Saints' academy in 2018 from Geneva-based side Servette and went on to make three first-team appearances.
Chelsea are preparing a 'big offer' for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, according to Jan Aage Fjortoft.

Following his departure from Boca Juniors, 37-year-old Carlos Tevez has offers from three MLS clubs.
David Beckham's Inter Miami are among the teams interested in the striker, with Atlanta United and Minnesota United.
One deal that could be announced this week is Arsenal's signing of Albert Sambi Lokonga. The Gunners are reportedly set to bring in the Belgian midfielder for an initial fee of £14.9million plus add-ons. He will have to undergo a period of quarantine before the transfer is made official.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic has returned to Hajduk Split on a season-long loan move. The shot-stopper, who has made eight appearances for Villa, returns to the club where he spent the second half of last season and also where he started his career.

Antoine Griezmann has been heavily linked with a move away from Barcelona and there have been suggestions that the Frenchman could return to Atletico Madrid in a swap deal involving Saul Niguez.
The fallout from England's heartbreaking defeat to Italy on penalties in the Euro 2020 final will continue for some time, but thoughts will gradually start to turn back to transfers, with clubs across the world seeking to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
With the tournament now over there could be more activity in the transfer market.
