Transfer window preview: What do Europe's big club...

playBurley: Arsenal's approach in Champions League final was 'embarrassing' (1:01) The transfer window opens on June 15 for the Premier League, June 29 for the Italian Serie A, and on July 1 for the German Bundesliga, French Ligue 1, Spanish LaLiga. But clubs have been busy planning their business for months. There were plenty of big moves last summer, so can we expect a repeat? ESPN's reporters have everything you need to know about the top teams' hopes as they delve into deals that might be in the cards. Who will come in? Who will depart? Budget: Arsenal's ability to invest is bolstered by increased prize money from winning the Premier League and reaching the Champions League final. But sources have told ESPN the club are adapting their strategy to trade more players to aid ongoing compliance with financial regulations. What does the team need? Viktor Gyökeres has done a reasonable job for Arsenal but the suspicion remains that another center forward would help take Arsenal's attacking output to another level. Similarly, another creative midfielder or winger would strengthen Mikel Arteta's options. A right back could be targeted if certain players leave and perhaps a central midfielder. Who are the major targets? ESPN reported in January that the club were weighing up a move for Atlético Madrid's Julián Álvarez. However, the Gunners are expected to face strong competition from Barcelona. They have been linked with Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers and Bournemouth's Junior Kroupi. Arsenal have also been tracking Sandro Tonali at Newcastle and Bayern Munich's Leon Goretzka as possible midfield options. Piero Hincapié could join permanently as his loan from Bayer Leverkusen has an optional permanent clause in it. Who could be leaving? As described above, Arsenal's planning includes more outgoings and they would consider offers from clubs to sign Ben White, Gabriel Jesus and possibly Gabriel Martinelli. Speculation has persisted over Martin Ødegaard's midfield role but last month the captain dismissed rumors suggesting he could depart. Myles Lewis-Skelly looked to be on his way out of the club but the teenager has been a revelation in midfield and his future is now unclear. Any new contracts? Co-chair Josh Kroenke described keeping Arteta as an "utmost priority" and the Spaniard is expected to sign a new deal on improved terms. The 44-year-old has 12 months left on his current agreement. Conversations are expected with midfielder Declan Rice over a fresh contract. Arsenal gave forward Leandro Trossard a wage increase last summer but with no extension, so he now has one year remaining. -- James Olley play2:09How do Man City move forward after Pep Guardiola?MANCHESTER CITY Budget: It could be as much as £300 million depending on valuations of targets. What does the team need? City got a head start on their transfer business by signing winger Antoine Semenyo and center back Marc Guéhi for a combined £80 million in January. They still need a midfielder to replace Bernardo Silva and there's also interest in right backs and right wingers. Links with Newcastle defender Tino Livramento have been knocked down by the club, but they could look at other options to provide competition for Matheus Nunes. Who are the major targets? Elliot Anderson at Nottingham Forest is a key midfield target. There's already been contact between City bosses and Anderson's representatives, but Forest's valuation is proving problematic; Forest want a fee of around £120 million, while City see the 23-year-old's transfer in the £80 million-£90 million range. City have also been linked with Chelsea's Enzo Fernández, although speculation about the Argentina international has been played down by the club. Though Fernandez, who has also been linked with Real Madrid, knows incoming City boss Enzo Maresca well after their time together at Stamford Bridge. Who could be leaving? Nico González hasn't had many opportunities and is open to moving on. After scoring the winner in the FA Cup semifinal against Southampton, he wasn't even included in the squad for the final against Chelsea. Defender Rico Lewis had the chance to leave last summer and could look to move on after a frustrating season on the sidelines. Tottenham are expected to re-ignite their interest in winger Savinho. Backup goalkeeper James Trafford doesn't want another campaign sat on the bench behind Gianluigi Donnarumma, while defender Nathan Aké has interest from Italy, particularly Juventus and AC Milan. Any new contracts? Phil Foden's new deal is expected to be announced before the season begins. City are also keen to reach an agreement with key midfielder Rodri, who will enter the last year of his contract this summer and has seen interest from Real Madrid. -- Rob Dawson play1:25Laurens: Éderson joining Manchester United would be a very good first signing for CarrickMANCHESTER UNITED Budget: Around £200 million, plus whatever they can raise through exits.
