The transfer window may be closed around Europe, but teams are looking ahead to the summer and there's plenty of gossip swirling around.Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!TOP STORY: Neymar to Man Utd if club sale succeeds?Manchester United will look to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward in the summer if the Old Trafford side is sold to Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani, reports the Sun.

Arsenal are not currently in talks over a potential transfer move for Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde, according to Fabrizio Romano in his exclusive Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside.The talented 19-year-old looks a big prospect for the future, so it's not too surprising to hear that there's some transfer gossip involving the player.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag expects England striker Marcus Rashford to extend his contract with the Old Trafford club, with the 25-year-old's current deal running out at the end of the 2023-24 season.Real Madrid will sign England midfielder Jude Bellingham, 19, from Borussia Dortmund for a deal worth £87m plus a potential £21m in add-ons.

Arsenal are ready to offer West Ham a club-record £90m for England midfielder Declan Rice, 24, and Switzerland's Granit Xhaka, 30, could be one of a number of players to be sold by the Gunners.Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester United, wants to join a club in the Champions League if the 24-year-old is to leave Brighton this summer.

Randal Kolo Muani is one of the Bundesliga's most sought after strikers in the transfer market, and Bayern Munich had shown slight interest in the French international as they still have not yet replaced Robert Lewandowski with an actual, natural striker.They do still have Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting in the ranks, but his future at the club is in question and the club will still eventually need to invest in a decent striker.

Real Madrid is the "dream" move for players, says Erling Haaland's agent.Haaland, 22, has had a prolific start to his Manchester City career, scoring 27 Premier League goals since moving from Borussia Dortmund.But his boss Pep Guardiola has previously had to deny reports that the striker's contract contains a release clause for him to join Real in 2024.

According to a report from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich is unlikely to bring Manchester City loanee João Cancelo in permanently during the summer transfer window.There is rumored to be a release clause of €70 million (though, reports are never definite when quoting that number) associated with an acquisition of Cancelo, which is considered to be cost prohibitive for the Bavarians:

The current tendency is that Bayern will not sign João Cancelo permanently.

In a report from Sport1 journalists Kerry Hau and Christopher Michel (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), the potential move for Eintracht Frankfurt star Randal Kolo Muani to Bayern Munich might not have the full support of all the decision makers in Bavaria:

Opinions regarding Kolo Muani are divided at Bayern.

Florian Plettenberg reports that Yusuf Kabadayi's future at Bayern Munich is rather uncertain.The dual Turkish/German international has enjoyed a renaissance in reputation at Bayern in recent weeks, being one of the five youth players chosen to go to the training camp in Qatar with the senior team after a rather dreadful first half of the season for Bayern II, even making the extended squad for the game against RB Leipzig.

Bayern Munich have been active in the transfer market during the World Cup and they're still going even after the latter concluded.This time, a rare occasion sees the Bavarians offered a player instead of inquiring abut one: Eintracht Frankfurt's Randal Kolo Muani.You may have known about the 24-year-old Frenchman when he scored for Die Adler in Bayern's 6-1 rout on the first matchday of the Bundesliga.

Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on the Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio.According to a report from Football Transfers, the 21-year-old is a part of the four-man shortlist Liverpool have prepared ahead of the summer transfer window.The Reds are looking to bring In defensive reinforcements and the versatile defender has caught their eye.

There looks like there could be big changes this summer at Anfield as Liverpool look to bounce back from their miserable current campaign and Jurgen Klopp could be eyeing up a move for one of Europe's best players.The German coach is expected to add at least two midfielders this summer, as well as strengthen other areas of the pitch.
