The summer transfer window is already generating intense speculation across Europe, with several top clubs monitoring high-profile targets ahead of potential moves.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are keen on signing 23-year-old goalkeeper James Trafford. However, City could face competition from Aston Villa and Newcastle United, both of whom are also interested in securing the young shot-stopper’s services, as reported by Teamtalk.
In another development, Senegal international Nicolas Jackson, 24, is expected to return to Chelsea this summer after failing to meet expectations during his time at Bayern Munich, according to The Times.
Arsenal have reportedly been informed that Spanish forward Nico Williams, 23, could leave Athletic Bilbao during the upcoming summer transfer window. Teamtalk suggests the Gunners are closely monitoring the situation.
Brighton are also active in the market and are looking to sign 19-year-old winger Said El Mala from German side Cologne, according to Sky Germany.
In Spain, Real Madrid are expected to complete the signing of German defender Nico Schlotterbeck, 26, from Borussia Dortmund this summer, despite strong interest from Barcelona. The report comes from Spanish outlet Fichajes.
Finally, Manchester United continue to track Middlesbrough’s 23-year-old English midfielder Hayden Hackney. However, the Red Devils face competition from Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton, all of whom are eager to secure the talented midfielder, according to Teamtalk.
With Europe’s top clubs positioning themselves early, the upcoming transfer window promises to be one of the most competitive in recent years.
