Transfer rumours: Barca's shock Ronaldo interest; Martinez wants Premier League move

Barcelona could make a shock swoop to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer with club president Joan Laporta and the player's agent Jorge Mendes holding talks.

Chelsea are also considering a move for Ronaldo, though the player is not 100% sure on the transfer. There is a split in the ranks over the move as well, with new owner Todd Boehly keen while Thomas Tuchel is unconvinced.

PSG have been linked with Ronaldo too, in a move that would see CR7 link up with long-time rival Lionel Messi. The forward is willing to take a significant wage cut to secure his Old Trafford exit.

Elsewhere, the Blues are in advanced talks to sign Raheem Sterling. Manchester City are thought to value the England international at £50m.

Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech could be heading in the other direction at Stamford Bridge with further changes expected under Chelsea's new ownership.

AC Milan are interested in Ziyech in what would be a season-long loan deal.

Tottenham have enquired about the possibility of signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona this summer. The Blaugrana are looking for around £17m.

Spurs remain interested in signing Pau Torres, despite the imminent arrival of Clement Lenglet on loan.

Eder Militao and Rodrygo have each agreed new long-term deals with Real Madrid. Both contracts include a €1bn release clause.

Meanwhile, Marco Asensio is waiting to see if Liverpool make a bid for his services before committing to Real.

Lisandro Martinez - a target for both Arsenal and Man Utd - has pleaded with current club Ajax to let him leave for the Premier League this summer.

Sevilla director of football Monchi has confirmed that Jules Kounde is attracting interest from England as well as Barcelona.

Juventus remain interested in signing Arsenal defender Gabriel if Matthijs de Ligt leaves Turin in the current window.

Romeo Lavia is set for a medical ahead of his £14m move from Man City to Southampton.

West Ham are confident of beating Everton to signing of Jesse Lingard. The midfielder is currently a free agent following his release from Old Trafford at the end of the season.

The two clubs are also battling it out to sign Armando Broja from Chelsea, following his impressive loan spell at Southampton last season.

Nathan Ake could be leaving the Etihad Stadium too, with former club Chelsea interested if they cannot sign Matthijs de Ligt.

Brice Samba has agreed the terms of his Nottingham Forest exit, with the goalkeeper poised to join RC Lens for just £4m.

But Forest should welcome Mainz's defender Moussa Niakhate imminently with a £13m deal being agreed.

Brentford will announce the signing of Bologna defender Aaron Hickey on a long-term contract in the near future.

Leeds are in talks to sign Feyenoord winger Luis Sinisterra as well as Club Brugge forward Charles De Ketelaere.

Brighton are interested in Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico who could be available in a bargain deal this summer.
