Bayern Munich are really muscling in over Declan Rice and Sergio Ramos is joining Lionel Messi in exiting PSG.
West Ham captain Rice remains Arsenal's priority target, with Manchester United and now Liverpool also interested.
But there's serious talk the England anchorman is ready to consider joining Thomas Tuchel's German champions.
Meanwhile, 37-year-old legend Ramos is the latest huge name to be tipped for a move to Saudi Arabia.
It comes after the four-time Champions League winner announced today's season finale at home to Clermont will be his last game for Ligue 1 PSG.
Barcelona legend Messi is rated odds-on to move to the Saudi Pro League.
But fellow 35-year-old and Real Madrid hero Karim Benzema is downplaying speculation he'll switch to the middle east country.
Erik ten Hag's United are said to be still negotiating over Chelsea playmaker Mason Mount.
And Arsenal are reportedly eying Red Devils' strike target Rasmus Hojlund.

Everton keen on Tammy
Everton want Roma striker Tammy Abraham to solve their scoring problems.
The Toffees are trying to clinch a £27million deal for the former Chelsea striker.
Abraham cost Roma £34million when he joined them from Chelsea two years ago and still has another three years to run on his contract at the Stadio Olimpico.
But the Serie A giants are in danger of breaching Italy’s strict FFP regulations and are ready to listen to offers for the 25-year-old.
Chelsea have the option to trigger a buy-back clause for the England international this summer for an agreed fee of £68million.
But that would be twice what they sold him for and they have no plans to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.

James Maddison has been linked with Prem rivals – but is still focused on the "devastation" of Leicester's relegation.
Newcastle and Tottenham have been tipped to target the twice-capped England midfielder.
But Maddison, 26, made no mention of a possible exit in an emotional Instagram post.
He wrote: "Absolutely devastated to be relegated…
" I’ve took a bit of time to reflect… and to be honest it doesn’t make it any easier at all.
"This will hurt for a very long time and probably stick with us all forever. But that’s life & it’s about how you bounce back from setbacks & failure and unfortunately that’s exactly what this season was.. a failure.
"We should never have been in the position we were, with the players we have. But we take responsibility for that & the negativity that comes with it & continue to stick together."

Sorry to be Wout of here
Wout Weghorst has conceded that he is unhappy with just the two goals he’s scored for Man Utd since his January loan arrival.
Weghorst said: “I’ve really tried to give my all in every match I’ve played, in every minute I’ve had.
“It doesn’t matter which position it is. I always give my best.
“Of course, for me as a striker, only two goals is not enough. It’s not good.
“That’s just the only thing for me that’s disappointing, because I know I’m capable to do it.
I scored a lot in the past, but all the other parts of the football contribution, in helping with the team pressure and work ethic, link-up play.
“I think I’ve developed myself there again and I could help the team and be important for them.
“Let’s keep the goal for Saturday. Let’s do it that way.”

Rice & Kane the difference
Sam Allardyce thinks that if Man Utd buy Harry Kane and Arsenal target Declan Rice they will win the Premier League.
The ex-Prem boss told William Hill: “I saw Declan Rice first hand at West Ham away this season. It’s rare that you see a player who has been brought up as a centre-half evolve into a central-midfield player as well as he has.
“He’s the all-action midfield player, he’s not just a sitting anchor man, he’s everything. H
“e’s a passer and he’s box-to-box, and people might say he doesn’t score enough to be worth £100m, but what he can bring to the team would evolve Manchester United through the middle.
“If Harry Kane and Declan Rice were both through the middle for United then they’d be fighting for spots one and two in the league.”

Granit close to Leverkusen deal
Arsenal star Granit Xhaka is set to join Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
And Johan Djourou thinks he will be a big miss next season, telling MyBettingSites.co.uk:”Throughout the season Granit was really strong. He was consistent, he was often involved in the decisive moments.
“I don’t know if the Arsenal officials have already found his successor, but because of his great experience, positional play and mentality, his departure will certainly hurt.
“He has established himself at Arsenal with a lot of professionalism. I really liked him as a player.”
