The coronavirus pandemic has made the summer transfer window uncertain, but here are the rumours floating around Europe's big leagues and beyond.
TOP STORY: Man City move possible for Sancho
Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho would be willing to return to Manchester City to secure his move back to the Premier League, the Sun reports.
Despite being criticised after leaving Pep Guardiola's side in 2017, the 20-year-old is said to have told friends that he would reconsider joining back up with them rather than remaining in the Bundesliga for another season.
Having scored 19 goals and assisted another 19 across the Bundesliga and Champions League this term, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all keeping tabs on the England international.
The interest has reportedly sparked a desire for Sancho to return home, and Man City might be best placed of all to convince Dortmund to part with their ace.

21.37 BST: Newcastle the next stop for Marcos Alonso?
According to the Mirror, via 90mins, the Magpies have opened up talks over the Spain international, amidst Chelsea's pursuit of Leicester's Ben Chillwell. The attack-minded left-back has been in and out of the team this season and could be sold to raise transfer funds for big-money targets like Chillwell and Bayer Leverkusen ace Kai Havertz.

20.49 BST: Le Havre defensive midfielder Pape Gueye has called off his move to Watford.
The 21-year-old had reportedly signed with Watford back in April but according to the player's agent Pierre-Henri Bovis, that deal is now off due to "irregularities."
Via Le Equipe, the former France Under-19 international addressed the sudden U-turn:
"For me, the future is still uncertain. My mistake in this story is having had faith in a person who advised me poorly. I want to warn my colleagues of the abuse that they could be subjected to in terms of contract signings.
"I am not the first that this has happened to and I sadly won't be the last. I wanted to speak out against the circumstances surrounding the signature of a contract with Watford and what I consider to be irregularities with their representatives."
The irregularities stem from reports that claim Gueye had a pre-contract with two clubs in Spain and Italy before January 1, 2020, which would violate football laws. Gueye will become a free agent on June 30.

The Dutch midfielder has spent time on loan at AC Milan, Stoke and PSV and has missed most of the last two seasons through injury.
Van Ginkel was able to rediscover some form before injury struck, bagging 16 goals in 2017-18 for the eventual Eredivisie title winners.

"We have many discussions with Pierre, his family and agent," Arteta said in a prematch news conference held via Zoom on Monday. "I am pretty positive that we can find the right agreement for all parties.
"I think it's our responsibility to make him feel that this is the right next step in his career. In order to do that he needs to feel valued, I think he needs to feel that he belongs to us and we want him.
"And then he really needs to believe we can take this club forward in the way we want to do and he's going to be a key player to do that."
16.52 BST: Newcastle United have made an enquiry about Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis, according to the Daily Mail.

"I'm certain that I can play at a high level for two more years, then we shall see," he wrote in his autobiography as reported in Gazzetta dello Sport.

Borussia have expressed their desire to extend Achraf's loan deal for another season while City would be willing to pay the €60m for the Morocco international provided the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) overturns the ban handed to City which prevents them from playing in Europe for the next two seasons.

The 23-year-old is expected to have his loan at Bramall Lane extended to the end of the extended 2019-20 season, but Solskjaer envisions the goalkeeper will soon be a member of his own first-team squad again.
"Dean has made some great choices over the years and has developed fantastically," Solskjaer told Sky Sports. "We're looking at that in terms of where he's going to be next season, but as yet that has not been decided.
"This season has proved a great experience for him, he's done himself some favours with his performances, and proved he will be England's No 1 and Man United's No 1 at some point."
09.31 BST: Sergio Ramos' wish of ending his career playing at the new Santiago Bernabeu stadium could be realised.

"Ramos is a great leader, a club legend and we are delighted with him," Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno said in quotes reported by Cadena Ser. "It's an honour that he is a Real Madrid legend and we want him to be here for many years to come because he is one of the greats in our history."
09.00 BST: Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has said he is yet to make a decision on whether to stay at the club and labelled it "the most important" of his career.

Sources also told ESPN that Arsenal have not offered him a contract extension, and Aubameyang confirmed this and said he is still negotiating with the club.
"Recently I haven't received an offer but of course there have been discussions with the club for a few months now," he told Telefoot. "They know very well why so far nothing has happened. It's them [the club] who have the keys and for them to do their work. Afterwards we will see how things go.
"It is a turning point in my career, and I will be very frank with everyone, it will be of course a very difficult decision to make because I have still not decided. It is possibly the most important decision of my career. To be clear, nothing has been decided."
PAPER TALK (by Danny Lewis): PSG prepare move for Haaland
Dortmund striker Erling Haaland heads up an ambitious list of names being targeted by Paris Saint-Germain, according to Foot Mercato.
Haaland moved to Germany from Salzburg only in January but, following 14 goals in 15 appearances, the Parisian outfit are already looking to bring him to the Parc des Princes.
Other players included on the list are Eduardo Camavinga and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, of Rennes and Lazio, respectively.
Inter front-runners for Semedo despite difficulties
Barcelona are running out of places to send Portugal international Nelson Semedo, whom they are adamant they want to sell, according to Marca.
They had previously been looking to strike deals with Juventus and Manchester City, but neither of these now seems viable. That is because the Italians won't meet his demands and City aren't interested in swapping Joao Cancelo for him.
This puts Inter Milan in the driving seat, though there currently is a dispute over the value Semedo could hold in a potential swap deal for Barca's primary target this summer: Lautaro Martinez.
PSG identify Kurzawa upgrades
The French champions have confirmed that they will let Layvin Kurzawa leave, with it now being reported by Le10sport that they are looking at Alex Telles and Nicolas Tagliafico to replace him.
Kurzawa has managed only nine Ligue 1 starts this campaign, and will therefore be allowed to leave for free when his contract comes to an end.
There is a chance that the Parisians could face competition from Chelsea if Frank Lampard's side miss out on Ben Chilwell, but PSG's eyes are firmly set on the Porto and Ajax men to fill the void at left-back.
Tap-ins
- Rennes winger M'Baye Niang is attracting attention from an unnamed Qatari side, according to L'Equipe.
The 25-year-old has also received attention from Marseille, though they have been slow in moving for him, which could impact the move. It is also seen as a possibility that he could be drawn in by a move to Qatar.
- Inter Milan will do all they can to keep hold of 17-year-old forward Sebastiano Esposito, according to Calciomercato. The teenager has made 12 appearances across all competitions for Antonio Conte's side this season, and is said to be targeted by various clubs, including Parma, Atalanta and Fiorentina.
- Adil Aouchiche could be set to join Saint-Etienne upon the culmination of his contract with PSG, as reported by Foot Mercato. The teenager is highly regarded, but it is understood that the French giants will let him leave, with the side in green set to be his next club.
