Thursday is here and with it brings a round-up of all the latest news and rumours as we kickstart the week with a closer look at the world of transfers.

Transfer story of the day 📰

Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal are already setting their sights on signing Robert Lewandowski in 2024.

That’s according to a story in Mundo Deportivo on Thursday which claims that the Pro League side will move for the Poland international next summer.

Lewandowski has two years left on his current deal at Camp Nou and Al Hilal believe they will have the chance to land the Blaugrana hotshot in 12 months time.

Lewandowski has no interest in going to Saudi Arabia this season as he feels he has unfinished business at Barça, especially in the Champions League.

Several reports overnight say that the World Cup has rejected Al Hilal mind-boggling contract offer as he looks to move to Real Madrid this summer.
