The transfer window is officially open throughout Europe, and the rumor mill is in overdrive. Check in every day for all the latest buzz from across the soccer world.

Top story: Ronaldo's team eyes Pulisic

American winger Christian Pulisic is potentially on the move to Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr have identified the AC Milan standout as someone who could strengthen an attack that already features Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. Colombian striker Jhon Duran, who cost Al-Nassr around €77 million to sign from Aston Villa in January, recently joined Turkish Super Lig club Fenerbahce on a season-long loan.
