The summer heat is on. European clubs are now busy strengthening their squads ahead of the upcoming season.

Amidst the flurry of negotiations, several high-profile players have become the subject of speculation, with reports suggesting they could move to new destinations.

The Kylian Mbappe saga continues as he has been given some time by Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to take a decision.

Lionel Messi has already left PSG following the expiry of his contract. Now if Mbappe leaves, possibly forReal Madrid, it will be difficult for them to replace the France captain.

Marcus Rashford is on PSG’s radar as a potential Mbappe replacement. Along with Rashford, Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus is one of the options for PSG.

Manchester City have Benjamin Pavard on top of their list as a new right back. Pavard is Pep Guardiola’s priority in case Kyle Walker joins Bayern Munich.

After Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr, there is a mad rush for footballers to join the Saudi Arabia league. Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante (both Al Ittihad), Roberto Firmino (Al Ahli) have taken the plunge.

Now the buzz is Paul Pogba can also make a move from Juventus.

Both Al Ittihad and Al Ahli are vying for the Frenchman’s signature.
