With Euro 2020 out of the way and the new Premier League season not starting for another month, expect transfer silly season to get into full swing.
Bookies Ladbrokes have been in touch to let us know their tips for ten high-profile moves that could be on the cards this summer based on current odds.
A lot of the usual suspects are in there, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea possibly set to get very busy in the weeks ahead.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “There’s plenty of business still to be done this summer and the odds suggest a handful of mega-money moves are on the cards.”
Read on for odds on the ten deals Ladbrokes are keeping a close eye on this summer…
Hector Bellerin to Inter Milan – 1/5
It looks like they’re very confident about this one happening, with Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin now odds-on to leave for Inter Milan, who could definitely do with a new signing in that position after losing Achraf Hakimi to Paris Saint-Germain.
Raphael Varane to Man United – 1/3
Raphael Varane has been a key player for Real Madrid but is now in the final year of his contract, so it makes sense that a move could be on the cards this summer, with Ladbrokes having him at 1/3 to join Manchester United, who certainly need to sign a top centre-back as an upgrade on Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly.
Jack Grealish to Man City – 4/9
One of the stars of last season’s Premier League, Jack Grealish might well feel that it’s time to leave Aston Villa for a bigger club, not least because it might boost his England chances in the future after he was surprisingly overlooked by Gareth Southgate a few times at Euro 2020 this summer.
Paul Pogba to PSG – 1/2
It wouldn’t be a proper summer without transfer rumours about Paul Pogba flowing in, and Ladbrokes are seemingly pretty confident that PSG could be his next move, with odds of 1/2 that he’ll swap Old Trafford for the Parc des Princes ahead of next season.
Robert Lewandowski to Real Madrid – 1/2
Undoubtedly one of the best players in the world at the moment, Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski would be the ultimate ‘Galactico’ purchase for Real Madrid, and an ideal long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
Harry Kane to Man City – 4/6
Another of the world’s best finishers, Harry Kane has surely earned himself the chance of a big move after spending his entire career at Tottenham, with no trophies to show for it. Manchester City need a replacement for the departing Sergio Aguero, so it’s not too surprising that Kane is being strongly tipped to move to the Etihad Stadium.
Declan Rice to Chelsea – 4/5
Declan Rice is one of the top players outside of the big six at the moment, and it might be that he’s not outside of the big six for that much longer, with Ladbrokes having him at 4/5 to move to Chelsea, where the England international also had a spell earlier in his career. The Blues may have overlooked his qualities when he was in their academy, but they’d do well to bring him back now as a possible upgrade on Mateo Kovacic.
Kalidou Koulibaly to Everton – EVS
You can get even odds on Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly making the move to Everton, in what could be an absolutely superb signing. The Senegal international has been a star performer for the Naples outfit in recent times and could help the Toffees climb the table next season.
Erling Haaland to Man City – 5/4
Another big-name striker who could be on the way to Manchester City is Borussia Dortmund goal machine Erling Haaland, who is 5/4 to link up with Pep Guardiola’s side in this transfer window. As mentioned already, Kane is seen as more likely by Ladbrokes to move to City, but it may definitely be worth keeping an eye on Haaland as well.
Cristiano Ronaldo to PSG – 6/4
This would be quite something, with Cristiano Ronaldo still one of the biggest names in world football even at the age of 36. The Juventus superstar may well feel he’s achieved enough in Italy and look for another new challenge before his career is done.
