It’s that time of the season when we nurse palpitations for incomings and outgoings from clubs, and today we look at some hot and sizzling Transfer news across the top five leagues ahead of the official opening of the transfer window.

Alvaro Morata to renew with Atletico

Spain striker Alvaro Morata will extend his contract with Atletico Madrid this summer as his current contract expires in June 2024. 

The travelled striker has offers from Juventus, AC Milan, Major League Soccer, as well as Saudi Arabia. 

The 30-year-old has opted to extend his stay with the La Liga side by two years; the contract will now run until 2026.

Mahrez to join the Saudi train?

Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli has offered to price Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez away from treble champions Manchester City this summer. 

Saudi Arabia is doing big things, and the left-footed winger is the next name on the long list after news broke out that Luka Modric, Wilfred Zaha, and N’golo Kante could be on their way to the Middle East.

Kim Min-Jae could dump United for Newcastle.

One of the breakout stars at Napoli, Kim Min-Jae, could head to St. James’s Park after talks between the Korean and Manchester United stalled in the past few days. 

Chelsea reportedly made a verbal offer to the player’s camp, but the lack of Champions League football could tilt the odds in Newcastle’s favour.

Postecoglou wants City’s star defender

Impossibility is nothing, but what is the motivation for Manchester City’s treble winner Aymeric Laporte to move to Tottenham Hotspur? 

New manager Ange Postecoglou has named the City defender as a player he wants at the club.

And Manchester City wouldn’t stand in the way of any player that wanted to leave, but does Laporte fancy Spurs?

Aouar joins Roma on a free

Remember the French star that dominated Lyon’s midfield a few seasons ago and was chased by Arsenal and a host of other clubs? 

He ended up leaving the French side on a free transfer to Roma after the expiration of his contract. 

Wonder how the player feels having been denied a lucrative move away when the ovation was loudest.
