Transfer news: Man City closing in on Bernardo Silva, Arsenal makes Alexis Sanchez offer
With the 2016–17 season largely in the rearview mirror, the summer transfer market is set to open in earnest.
Already we've heard about players on the move, and with clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United set to spend big this summer, the off-season should prove to be eventful. Elsewhere in England, there's uncertainty at Arsenal, and Chelsea will look to bolster its Premier League–winning side. And on the continent, Juventus and Real Madrid will surely be active despite reaching the Champions League Final. Bayern Munich has also been tied to the likes of Alexis Sanchez.
Here's a look around Europe at the latest news and rumors.
