The summer transfer window is open and across the globe there is a frenzy of speculation as players and coaches look for their next moves.

There is plenty of activity and stories that have football fans talking.

Here, we look at the latest transfer deals that could happen very soon.

Let us know your thoughts via Twitter and Facebook.

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI

The Bayern Munich striker is set to stay with the Bundesliga giants, Bild reports.

Real Madrid have long been linked with the 29-year-old hitman, who endured a difficult World Cup campaign with Poland.

It has been reported that Lewandowski was chasing a new challenge and possibly one final major move in his career, but it now appears he will see out his deal with the Bavarians, which runs until 2021.

New Bayern boss Niko Kovac is thought to be keen to keep hold of the experienced striker while Madrid are looking at younger options.

Will Lewandowski stay at the Allianz Arena?

 

MALCOM

Tottenham have re-entered the race to sign the in-demand Bordeaux star, Le10Sport reports.

The north London side were close to landing the 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder last January and want to try and push through a deal this summer.

Malcom, who has yet to break into the full Brazil side, enjoyed a stellar season in Ligue 1 last term – netting 12 goals in 35 appearances.

He is apparently at the top of Mauricio Pochettino’s summer transfer wishlist.

Malcom could be in line for a switch to the Premier League.

 

MATEO KOVACIC

Manchester City have made tentative enquiries over the Real Madrid midfielder, The Mirror reports.

The Croatia international is likely to leave the Bernabeu this summer after failing to establish himself at the Whites and has emerged as a target for the Sky Blues, who have reserved him as a back-up should a deal for Napoli’s Jorginho fail to materialize.

Kovacic, 24, has been part of the Blazers’ World Cup semi-final side and could be looking for a fresh challenge at club level having spent three seasons at the Bernabeu.

In recent times, he has also been linked with a return to former side Inter Milan.

Wanted man: Mateo Kovacic.
