Some big names, including Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland could be on the move in the coming few months, and we're here to keep you posted on the latest transfer rumours.

With that, here are the top transfer rumours of the day.

Ronaldo wanted Man City move

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wanted to move to Manchester City before Manchester United came calling, according to COPE.

The Spanish publication quote European football journalist Guillem Ballague who claims the 36-year-old was set to join the Premier League champions, but missed out on the move after Pep Guardiola's side failed to sell a player to make room for Ronaldo.

Guardiola wants Modric

Pep Guardiola reportedly wants to bring Luka Modric to the Etihad Stadium, according to El Nacional.

The 36-year-old is currently on a one-year contract at Real Madrid that expires in the summer of 2022, and the Spaniard coach wants to bring the talented Croatian back to the Premier League.

Tottenham target Rudiger

Tottenham are reportedly plotting a move for Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, according to the Express.

The German is out of contract at the end of the season, and while Thomas Tuchel is eager to keep him at Stamford Bridge, Spurs are looking to make a bid for him as they look to strengthen their defence.

Liverpool keen on Pedri

Liverpool are reportedly keen on Barcelona youngster Pedri, and are willing to spend big to lure him to Anfield next summer.

That's according to TMW, who claim that Jurgen Klopp is still looking to replace Georginio Wijnaldum, who joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer earlier this summer.
