What’s the story?
According to news reports coming in from Don Balon (via The Sun), David De Gea could well be set to finally make his long time coming move to Real Madrid during the ongoing transfer window. The shot-stopper is assumed to be eager to head to Spain, and a deal seems to be on the verge of happening, with Florentino Perez also equally interested.
Should the deal take place?
Los Blancos almost got their target in 2015, and are now back to complete the unfinished business. Zinedine Zidane is said to be offering £50 million for the keeper, and given their dominance in Europe and Spain last year, it might be hard for De Gea to say no to the best team in football at the moment.
Possibility of it happening
With the Spanish international reportedly telling Jorge Mendes to get the deal done, and Keylor Navas possibly being targeted by PSG, one can see the deal taking an interesting turn, and hence, the possibility is 5/10.
2. Lucas Leiva To Lazio

What’s the story?
After a decade at Merseyside, Lucas Leiva could finally be saying goodbye to Anfield, as the rumours written in Sky Sports suggest that a bid for the player has been accepted. Lazio have come out as the side offering £5m for the Brazilian and a switch could be taking place real soon.
Should the deal take place?
The midfielder has made 346 appearances for the club since his arrival in 2007, a duration that saw him go from a regular starter to facing the bench, and was highlighted with just a single League Cup win in 2012. The 30-year-old has fallen down the favoured ranks at Liverpool, and is set to step out of the exit door. Klopp is hopeful to use the sale of Lucas to bring in added funds, as he targets Naby Keita as a replacement.
Possibility of it happening
The possibility of the player heading to Lazio is currently 9/10.
3. Thomas Meunier To Real Madrid

What’s the story?
Danilo has been left frustrated on the bench at Santiago Bernabeu for so long, that he could well be making a move to save his falling career. Marca (via Sports Mole) claims that Zidane could well have his eyes set on the replacement, as Thomas Meunier fits the bill perfectly to step in as Dani Carvajal’s backup.
Should the deal take place?
The 25-year-old Belgian right-back has been impressive in the French League, but the arrival of Brazilian defender Dani Alves could well threaten his starting place at the club. However, moving to a side where first team action will only be available in games far and few between might not be the best choice to make at such an important time in his growing career.
Possibility of it happening
The chances of him coming to Madrid might come down to the finances offered by the Spanish giants. Currently, the possibility of that stands at 5/10.
4. Bruno Martins Indi To Crystal Palace
What’s the story?
After spending last season with Stoke City and appearing 35 times while scoring a goal, Bruno Martins Indi surely impressed one and all with his debut campaign in England. With him assumed to return as a permanent player, reports from Sky Sports have claimed that Crystal Palace are now favourites to land him this summer.
Should the deal take place?
The player currently has one year left at Porto, but given his will to be the best and his consistency, he will surely be inclined in coming back to possibly the best league in the world. The Dutchman is said to be further directed towards Selhurst Park, as they are now headed by fellow countryman, Frank De Boer.
Possibility of it happening
The possibility of it happening is currently as high as 9/10.
