What transfers could happen this summer?
The name on everyone’s lips right now is Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is looking increasingly likely to make a huge move to Real Madrid this summer.
The 26-year-old is out of contract this summer and can head to the Bernabeu for free when his Reds deal expires, with reports suggesting he has already agreed his contract at the Bernabeu.
Real want to sign the England international before the Club World Cup but his contract at Anfield does not expire until June 30.
Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has also been linked with a temporary move in order to feature at the Club World Cup, with suggestions he could sensationally team up with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami.
Arsenal, who are set to finish as runners-up in the Premier League for the third straight season, will almost certainly be on the lookout for a striker with Newcastle talisman Alexander Isak believed to be their top choice.
