As the World Cup draws to its conclusion there’s another way to get your football fix – by keeping your ear to the ground for the latest transfer stories.
There’s a near competitive-football-free month for most of Europe’s clubs – and beyond – to get deals done, and it could spark a mad scramble with the Premier League’s transfer window slamming shut on August 9.
Here, we look at the latest transfer deals that could happen very soon.

EDEN HAZARD
Should Real Madrid abandon their potentially fruitless pursuit of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, they will realign their sights from Paris to across the English channel.
According to the Daily Mail, Real have been suitably impressed by Eden Hazard after the Chelsea star lit up the World Cup with ankle-breaking dribbles for Belgium.
Hazard, 27, has two years left on his contract at Chelsea. But as the club prepares for the Maurizio Sarri era, it could cost the La Liga powerhouse £150 million to grab their Cristiano Ronaldo replacement from London.
HARRY MAGUIRE
Harry Maguire to Manchester United speculation has frequented these pages in the last few months but, now England’s World Cup dreams are over, it is set to gather more pace.
Daily Mail columnist Charlie Sale says the Red Devils are ‘expected’ to stump up £50m for the large-skulled defender who is called ‘Slabhead’ by his Leicester team-mate Jamie Vardy.
With Phil Jones and Chris Smalling consistently injured and inconsistently good, World Cup stand-out Maguire could be moving to Old Trafford just one year on from leaving Hull for £17m.
LUCAS DIGNE
A double Everton raid on Barcelona? It could well be happening after the Daily Mirror reported that the Toffees want to bring left-back Lucas Digne to Goodison Park as well as centre-back Yerry Mina.
Digne only mustered 20 appearances for Barca last year, well behind in favour compared to Jordi Alba, and could not even make the France squad ahead of a half-fit Benjamin Mendy.
He’s been offered an escape route by Everton – with a 33-year-old Leighton Baines coming to the end of his career and Celtic’s Kieran Tierney thought too pricey at £25m.
