The winter transfer window is closed, but now it's time to look ahead to the summer! Here are the new rumours floating around Europe's big leagues and beyond.
TOP STORY: Godin to Tottenham or Manchester United?
Inter Milan defender Diego Godin is set to swap life at the San Siro for a stint in the Premier League, reports Tuttosport.
The 34-year-old veteran made the jump over to Milan from Atletico Madrid last summer, but since then, he hasn't been able to find a consistent spot in their starting XI. With that being the case, the door is now open for top clubs around the world to act on their interest.
Tottenham and Manchester United are at the top of that list, with Godin expected to land at one of the two in the next few months.

The Netherlands international was in a race against time to return to fitness ahead of Euro 2020 before the coronavirus outbreak put world football on pause.

"My agent looks after it, I'm not really focused on it," he told El Larguero when asked whether his contract expires in 2022. "I think it's around there but I don't know exactly how many years I have left. There's been no change."
Hakimi has been linked to the Premier League with reported interest from Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, as well as Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.
"Who wouldn't like to have various offers and teams interested in him?" he said. "I'm proud of what I'm doing and I'm really happy.

Juventus want new world-class forward
Juventus are interested in signing a top new striker, Calciomercato reports, with Man City's Gabriel Jesus and Mauro Icardi, who is on loan at PSG from Inter, at the top of the Old Lady's list.
The Italian champions are considered to be one of the best sides in European football, but even with that being the case, they're still clearly invested in the idea of signing a new goal scorer.
The future of Gonzalo Higuain is unknown, and with Cristiano Ronaldo wanting a younger strike partner, the two names that have been mentioned are Icardi and Jesus.
Alas, Juve first need to wait to see whether or not the summer transfer window will even take place as the world deals with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
