Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's Daily Transfer Roundup. We are still a few months away from the opening of the summer transfer window. Since all the teams have had ample time to assess their strengths and weakness over the course of the season, they are all getting to work on the transfer front right now.
With several European giants like Real Madrid and Manchester United expected to go all out in order to strengthen their squads, we expect the chips to start falling as soon as the window opens.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the top transfer news, rumours and updates that made headlines on 27 March 2019.
It will take an astronomical fee to prise Callum Hudson-Odoi out of Chelsea
Having been handed a transfer ban, Chelsea will tread with caution when the summer transfer window rolls up. According to a report, Bayern Munich will not be able to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi for £36 million as they had expected as the youngster's price has risen further following his international outing this past week.
Chelsea will consider selling the youngster only at an astronomical amount and as such are willing to close all doors to ensure that their top players and prospects stay put at Stamford Bridge as the club goes through a difficult phase.
Callum Hudson-Odoi was guaranteed a first-team spot by the Bundesliga champions when they came for him in the winter transfer window and placed a bid upwards of £35 million. This had prompted Odoi to hand in a transfer request at Chelsea. He is also constantly being overlooked by Maurizio Sarri.
It doesn't look like Bayern Munich or the player will get their wish as Chelsea have now resolved to play hardball.

Manchester City handed blow in race for Tanguy Ndombele
As per reports, Zinedine Zidane's plans to revitalize the Real Madrid team has thrown a spanner in Manchester City's works. The Real Madrid manager wishes to bring the Lyon midfielder to the Santiago Bernabeu and this will now complicated Pep Guardiola's plans of roping in Ndombele in the summer.
With Gundogan's future remaining unresolved and Fernandinho not getting any younger, Pep and co. are expected to splash the cash in order to reinforce their midfield and 22-year-old Tanguy Ndombele has been rumoured to be on top of the list.
Ndombele impressed greatly as Manchester City took on Olympique Lyon in the UEFA Champions League and the Cityzens have been keeping tabs on him ever since. Recently, Ndombele mooted claims that City had made a move for him last summer.
Now it looks as though Manchester City will need to enter a bidding war to have any chance of signing the youngster.
Real Madrid in constant talks with Kylian Mbappe's father and agent
As per latest reports, Los Blancos will leave no stone unturned in revitalizing their squad in the summer and are now holding talks with Kylian Mbappe's father and agent Wilfriend Mbappe.
The report claims that discussion of a move to Real Madrid had started last summer though no understanding was reached between any of the parties. However, following Paris Saint-Germain's early exit from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Manchester United has caused a significant change in the situation.
Real Madrid have struggled with goalscoring following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer and have struggled to replace the ridiculous amount of goals that the Portuguese would score season in and season out.
They look at Kylian Mbappe as a long-term solution to all the issues plaguing their frontline at the moment.
Barcelona to offer Philippe Coutinho in exchange for Marcus Rashford
Barcelona are reportedly all set to call it a day on the Philippe Coutinho experiment. According to reports, Barcelona will offer Philippe Coutinho to Manchester United in the hopes that they can convince the Red Devils to send Marcus Rashford to the Camp Nou.
The report suggests that Malcom is also another player that Barcelona will use to tempt the Old Trafford outfit. Coutinho arrived at the Camp Nou in January 2018 amid huge fanfare. After initially impressing everyone with his heroics, the Brazilian's form has faded and he has fallen down the pecking order.
Coutinho, who now struggles to find a spot in the starting XI, is reportedly being watched by Manchester United who are keen on bolstering their attacking artillery. Marcus Rashford, Manc born and bred, is hugely admired in the red half of Manchester and is looked at as one of the few players Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to build his team around.
