With the summer transfer window approaching, top European clubs are already planning their squad reinforcements. Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Manchester United are at the center of several major transfer stories. Here’s a look at the latest developments.

 
Chelsea and Arsenal Eye Atalanta's Mateo Retegui
Both Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly on the hunt for a new striker, and one name high on their shortlist is Atalanta forward Mateo Retegui.

The 25-year-old joined Atalanta from Genoa in August 2024 for a €22 million transfer fee plus €3 million in add-ons.
Retegui has been in top form, leading the Serie A goal-scoring charts this season.
Atalanta is unlikely to let him go for cheap, with reports suggesting it would take at least double his original fee to secure his signature.
With both Chelsea and Arsenal needing attacking reinforcements, Retegui could become a major transfer battle between the two London clubs this summer.

 
Arsenal Considering Move for Bayern's Leroy Sané
Arsenal is exploring a potential move for Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané, as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options.

Sané’s contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season, making him a potential free-agent signing.
Arteta previously worked with Sané at Manchester City, and he sees the 29-year-old as an ideal addition to his squad.
Bayern Munich has yet to offer Sané a contract extension, increasing speculation about his future.
Should Sané become available on a free transfer, Arsenal could face competition from other European giants eager to secure a player of his quality.

 
Bayern Munich Lead the Race for Florian Wirtz
Bayern Munich is making serious moves to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, despite Manchester City also being interested.

The 21-year-old German international has been one of the standout players in Bundesliga this season.
Bayern is pushing aggressively for a deal, while Manchester City’s move depends on input from their new sporting director, Hugo Viana.
Leverkusen is reluctant to sell, with manager Xabi Alonso’s future potentially influencing Wirtz’s decision.
With both Bayern and Manchester City looking to strengthen their attacking midfield, Wirtz is set to be one of the hottest properties in the transfer market.

 
Bayern and Real Madrid Tracking Diogo Dalot
Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot has caught the attention of both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, with both clubs keen on strengthening their defensive options.

Real Madrid sees Dalot as an alternative if they fail to land Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Bayern boss Vincent Kompany is reportedly a fan of Dalot’s versatility and consistency.
The 25-year-old’s performances at Manchester United have impressed scouts, making him a top target for European heavyweights.
If Dalot becomes available, United could face a tough decision on whether to keep him or cash in on a lucrative offer from Bayern or Madrid.

 
What’s Next?
As the summer transfer window draws near, these rumors are likely to intensify. With big clubs looking to strengthen their squads, expect plenty of negotiations, bidding wars, and last-minute surprises.
