Latest transfer rumors from across the media

Two Southampton stars and one has already stated his desire to leave the Hampshire club

Lots of big names (and Kieran Richardson) in today's transfer rumour round-up..

Liverpool have already started with their summer spending spree ahead of a Champions League campaign next year with the capture of Rickie Lambert, but that is seemingly just the start after Sevilla president Jose Castro confirmed the Reds have made their interest known in left-back Alberto Moreno.

There have already been a number of clubs reportedly interested in Moreno's services with Liverpool perhaps now the first to make official contact with the Spanish club.

What is good news for Brendan Rodgers is the fact that Sevilla will not stand in the way of any player who wishes to leave, including skipper Ivan Rakitic, but Castro insists that a move will only be sanctioned if suitors meet their valuations of a player, something which Liverpool have seemingly not done so far.

However, it certainly seems like this story has legs as Sevilla have already been linked with a replacement and will try to capitalise on Fulham's relegation to the Championship by taking Kieran Richardson off their hands.

Castro also admitted his frustration at the fact Rakitic still has not signed the deal that had been agreed upon, possible music to the ears of both Barcelona and Real, as well as Atletico Madrid, who have all made offers for the Croatia star.

Los Rojiblancos insist that they can afford increased terms for their star man but the lure of a Champions League or La Liga challenge may prove too much for Rakitic.

Southampton's hopes of keeping hold of captain Adam Lallana have taken a hit after the England midfielder reportedly told the club he wants to leave.

Liverpool have made a 25m offer for the 27-year-old and it looks as though Lallana is trying to set the wheels in motion and follow Lambert to Anfield.

And finally, there is sure to be plenty of transfer activity at Old Trafford this summer with Manchester United set to offer 25m for Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria,
according to the Metro.

The Red Devils will face competition from both Arsenal and Manchester City, while Juventus are also attempting to lure him away from the Bernabeu.

However, in potentially the biggest move of the summer, Chelsea are reportedly looking to beat United, as well as Barcelona, to the signature of Atletico star Koke.

The Times claims that formal negotiations have already begun, with Jose Mourinho looking to find a successor to Blues legend Frank Lampard and land his man for 48m.
