The summer transfer window has officially opened and while the main attention is on the World Cup, clubs are working away on major deals. For most clubs, planning will already be complete and they will have identified which players they want to sign, and which players they want to sell.

Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals this summer. The rumour mill is still gathering pace and we've collated some of the biggest current transfer stories – you can access the full rumour mill below.

Today's biggest transfer stories

Market Value

Maxence LacroixM. Lacroix

Centre-Back

€50.00m

Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace, according to reports in France. L’Equipe claim the Blues are negotiating with their London neighbours and are looking to complete a deal worth €55 million. Lacroix is keen on the move to Stamford Bridge and is expected to join after playing for France at the World Cup.

Market Value

Felix NmechaF. Nmecha

Central Midfield

€50.00m

Newcastle United are targeting Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha as a potential replacement for Sandro Tonali. The Magpies have added the Germany international to their shortlist in case Tonali leaves, with Tottenham seeing a bid rejected for the central midfielder. However, Dortmund are reportedly demanding €70 million for the 25-year-old.

Market Value

Maxi AraújoM. Araújo

Left-Back

€35.00m

Manchester United and Chelsea have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Uruguay star Maxi Araújo from Sporting CP. The 26-year-old is heading home from the World Cup earlier than expected following their disappointing group stage exit. But that could speed up his move to the Premier League, although the wing-back has a €80 million release clause.
