Let's take a look at the biggest transfer stories from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and beyond ahead of the opening of the summer window
RONALDO HOLDING UP MORATA'S MAN UTD DEAL

 The uncertainty over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future is delaying an announcement over Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata’s move to Manchester United, according to Diario Gol .

 Real are reportedly prepared to accept an offer from United for Morata, who has confirmed to both Madrid president Florentino Perez and coach Zinedine Zidane that he wants to be playing at Old Trafford next season.

 However, following reports that Ronaldo wants to quit Madrid after being accused of tax fraud, Real want to resolve that matter before letting Morata join United.

 BARCELONA SET BELLERIN DEADLINE

 Barcelona have set a deadline to agree a deal to bring Hector Bellerin back to the club from Arsenal, according to Mundo Deportivo .

 Bellerin is reportedly keen to return to Camp Nou, but Arsenal don’t want to sell the right-back. Barca have now decided that, if a deal isn’t sorted within the next 10 days, they will move on to other targets.

 ZIDANE WON'T LET BALE LEAVE

 Zinedine Zidane has no plans to let Gareth Bale leave Real Madrid this summer, according to Marca following reports the Wales international could be sold to make room for Kylian Mbappe.

 Bale has been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, but is not looking for a transfer and is happy to stay in Madrid.

 LUCAS TARGETED BY TRABZONSPOR

 Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva is wanted by Trabzonspor, although the Brazilian’s wage demands could scupper a move to Turkey, according to Fotomac, via Talksport.

 Lucas could be available for £5 million this summer as he has a year remaining on his contract and was not an integral part of Jurgen Klopp’s side last season.

 BAYERN WANT GORETZKA IN 2018

 Bayern Munich want to sign Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka on a free transfer in the summer of 2018, according to Kicker .

 The 22-year-old Germany international, who is currently representing his country at the Confederations Cup, does not plan to stay at Schalke after his contract expires July 1, 2018.

 DEMBELE MEETS WITH GUARDIOLA

 Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele has met with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola regarding a potential summer move, according to  Le 10 Foot .

 The France international is keen to leave Dortmund this summer and dined alongside Guardiola in Manchester on Monday evening.

 LIVERPOOL MAKE OX MOVE

 Liverpool have made an enquiry as to the availability of Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, according to the  Daily Mirror .

 The Anfield outfit have long been interested in the England international and are now looking to press forward and secure his signature.

 MATIC UTD'S THIRD CHOICE

 Nemanja Matic began the summer as Manchester United's third choice central midfield target, according to the  Daily Telegrap h .

 The Chelsea midfielder is on the verge of moving to Old Trafford for £40 million, but Jose Mourinho had wanted to sign either Eric Dier or Radja Nainggolan ahead of Matic.

 A lack of movement over either of those deals has now led him to reuniting with a player he coached at Stamford Bridge.

 MAN UTD MUST PAY €50M FOR PERISIC
Inter Milan have told Manchester United that Ivan Perisic will only leave the club for €50 million (£44m), according to  Gazzetta dello Sport .

 The Serie A side must raise €30m (£26.4m) by the end of June to meet Financial Fair Play regulations and United were hoping to sign Perisic for that amount.

 However, Inter are exploring other ways to raise the money and, if their €50m valuation of Perisic isn’t met, then the Croatian midfielder will be staying at the club.

LUKAKU TO MAN UTD: SO MOURINHO DOES CARE ABOUT YOUNGSTERS AFTER ALL Kris Voakes 08:48 The United manager has been castigated for his short-termism in the past but his record shows he does generally buy young “I knew that was coming… Do you know how many young players I promote to the first team from academies? Forty-nine! If any one of you is interested I can give you [a list].” Jose Mourinho came armed with notes when he first arrived at Old Trafford as Manchester United so clear was he that people were going to ask about his general refusal to give youngsters a chance. Whether at Chelsea, Inter or Real Madrid, he had failed to satiate the desire to promote youth despite delivering major trophies with regularity. Academy players were perceived not to have been given a chance as the Portuguese’s short-term approach was given precedence over the need to give the club’s young assets the chance to show their worth. Millions were spent on the likes of Ricardo Carvalho, Hernan Cresp
