The parties have already reached a verbal agreement and are now ironing out the final details of the deal, so the iconic "here we go" could be announced very soon.

It’s worth noting that Ørjan Nyland has already played for RB Leipzig during the 2022/23 season. After his contract with Sevilla ended, the 35-year-old goalkeeper is currently a free agent.

Nyland also emerged as one of Norway’s standout heroes at the 2026 World Cup. He particularly shone in the round of 16 clash against Brazil, saving a penalty from Bruno Guimarães and making several crucial saves to help Norway sensationally reach the tournament quarter-finals.

The forward has also put a possible transfer to Beşiktaş on hold. The Turkish club made him an attractive financial offer, but the player remains convinced that he still has a real chance to continue his career at Barcelona.

However, there is still no final agreement between the parties. Vlahović's representatives have already been in touch with the Catalan club, but Barcelona has yet to take concrete steps to seal the deal.

After the Spaniard’s strong showing at the World Cup, where he formed a rock-solid partnership with Pau Cubarsí, Athletic took a hardline stance: any potential buyers will have to pay the full asking price.

The Red Devils’ representatives have already reached out to the Brazilian forward’s entourage to gauge his stance and the terms of a possible deal. Talks are still at an early stage.

• Also read: A new Iraola era set to continue with a win: prediction for Liverpool vs Leeds United.

Manchester United’s current transfer priorities remain a central midfielder and a left-back. That’s why the club hasn’t yet moved into an active phase of negotiations for the forward.

The deal for Igor Thiago could also directly depend on the future of Joshua Zirkzee. If the Dutchman leaves, the Red Devils would have an extra spot in their attacking line and could accelerate their pursuit of the Brazilian striker.

However, the transfer of the French goalkeeper is not a priority for Giovanni Carnevali and Frederic Massara. Moreover, at this stage, Chevalier is not considered the main target for the Turin club's goalkeeper position.

Thus, despite earlier reports of Juventus's interest, negotiations regarding a potential move have not advanced for the player.

The decision was made internally by the Turin club several days ago, and now the Italians have officially confirmed their stance to Aston Villa’s representatives.

The main reason for the refusal was the high total cost of the operation. Juventus considered that the transfer fee, the player's salary, and related expenses would make the deal financially unfeasible.

Earlier, the Turin club had identified Martínez as their top target for the goalkeeper position and even sent the Argentine an initial contract offer. However, the parties were unable to come close to a final agreement.

However, Galatasaray are not yet ready to accept the English side's offer. The Turkish champions are holding out for a fee close to £65 million for their star striker.

Tottenham, though, are far from the only club in the hunt for Osimhen. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid are also keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding the prolific forward.

Arsenal would prefer to keep their academy product. Lewis-Skelly delivered a powerful finish to last season and even started in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, playing a key role in the Londoners’ success.

However, the landscape might shift if the Gunners complete the anticipated signings of Bruno Guimarães and Vinícius Júnior. The arrival of these stars could impact the young Englishman’s role in the squad and force him to reconsider his future.

That said, Arsenal have not yet added Lewis-Skelly to the list of players they are actively trying to sell. Manchester United also remain hopeful of landing Lewis Hall, though it’s clear the club faces a major task to pull off either deal.

Reminder: Man United preparing £60m bid for Premier League star in summer's priciest transfer.

Romano reports that the 20-year-old left-back is highly rated by United’s sporting department, who see him as the perfect reinforcement for the squad. Meanwhile, Newcastle are determined to keep hold of their player and are keen to retain him in the team.

Despite Newcastle's stance, the Red Devils continue to explore the possibility of a transfer and maintain ongoing contact to assess the chances of a deal. The first official bid for Hall is expected to be tabled in the near future.

• See also: Prediction for the Sivulele vs TS Galaxy match: battle for the first three points of the season - 02.08.2026

Earlier, TEAMtalk journalist Graeme Bailey reported that Newcastle value their defender at £60 million. Should the transfer go through on those terms, Hall would become United’s most expensive signing of the current transfer window, surpassing the fee for Andrey Santos, who joined the club for £50 million including bonuses.

The source reports that negotiations over a contract extension between Torres and Barcelona have come to a complete standstill, significantly increasing the likelihood of his departure in the current transfer window.

It’s noted that PSG does not anticipate any issues in agreeing personal terms with the player. Now, the French and Spanish clubs are preparing to open direct negotiations, during which they plan to discuss the potential transfer fee.

According to Moretto, Barcelona’s management is well aware that Ferran Torres could leave the team this summer and is therefore not ruling out a sale should a suitable offer arrive.

Talks between the clubs are expected to begin in the coming days, and the deal could accelerate if both parties quickly reach an agreement on financial terms.

Ferran Torres has been playing for Barcelona since January 2022, when he joined from Manchester City. During this time, the Spanish forward has won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup with the Catalans, establishing himself as a key figure in the team’s attacking lineup.

Reports indicate that the clubs have already settled the main terms of the transfer, but Romero himself still needs to negotiate personal terms with the Milan side.

The 28-year-old has been with Tottenham since 2021, and last summer, following Son Heung-min’s departure, he was handed the captain's armband. Even before the transfer window opened, Romero had made it clear to the club’s management that he was interested in a new challenge. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were previously linked with the Argentine, but Inter have emerged as the frontrunners to secure his signature. Should the deal go through, Cristian Romero would become one of Inter’s marquee signings this summer.

This off-season, Tottenham have already bolstered their defense by signing Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senemi, which could make it easier for the club to part ways with one of their key players.

Desire joined the Parisian club in the summer of 2024, transferring from Rennes for €50 million. Since then, the winger has become one of Luis Enrique's key players, and now PSG wants to unite the brothers on the same team. According to the source, 23-year-old Gela Doué is being viewed as a potential competitor for Achraf Hakimi on the right flank of the defense.

The defender currently plays for Strasbourg, where he is under contract until the summer of 2029, and his market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €20 million.

The potential transfer fee has not yet been revealed, but PSG's interest in the defender underlines the club's determination to add depth to their squad ahead of the new season. On August 12, Luis Enrique's side will face Aston Villa in Salzburg in the UEFA Super Cup.

According to Football Insider, the Brazilian has made renewing his contract with Real Madrid his top priority. Journalist Pete O'Rourke claims the 25-year-old wants to continue his career at the Bernabéu, and talks over a new deal could pick up pace in the coming weeks.

Earlier, it was reported that the Gunners had supposedly agreed personal terms with Vinicius for a potential contract. However, this information has yet to be confirmed by more credible sources.

• See also: Londoners to test their squad depth: prediction for Girona vs Arsenal

Meanwhile, TEAMtalk reports that Real Madrid’s management is unwilling to take any chances and let one of the team’s key players enter the final year of his contract without an extension in place. If both sides fail to reach an agreement, Los Blancos are more likely to consider selling the player this summer than risk losing him for free when his contract expires.

The London side has already reached agreements to bring in Gonzalo García and César Palacios from the Madrid giants. Now, the "Cottagers" boss wants to see Thiago Pitarch in his lineup as well. It was under Arbeloa's guidance that the young midfielder made his debut for Real’s senior team. He already has 16 appearances and two assists for the main squad.

According to Transfermarkt, Pitarch's market value is 20 million euros. His contract with Real Madrid runs until next summer. The player is currently recovering from a muscle injury.

Recall that Arbeloa took charge of Fulham this summer after finishing his spell in the Real Madrid system, where he briefly coached the first team. Fulham will kick off their new Premier League campaign on August 24 with a home clash against Chelsea, who are now managed by another former Real Madrid boss, Xabi Alonso.

The Gunners are reportedly set to pay £70 million in guaranteed payments for the 28-year-old midfielder. An additional £10 million is included as performance-related bonuses, bringing the total value of the deal to a possible £80 million.

Guimarães is expected to arrive in London as early as this weekend to undergo a medical and sign a long-term contract with the reigning Premier League champions.

According to sources, the player's own desire to join Arsenal played a crucial role in finalizing the negotiations. Furthermore, Newcastle were willing to accommodate the transfer after the team failed to qualify for the 2026/27 Champions League.

Bruno Guimarães has been with the Magpies since January 2022 and, during this time, has established himself as one of the team's key leaders and one of the Premier League's top central midfielders.

Details: According to Fabrizio Romano, the club is in the final stages of negotiations with Chelsea over the transfer of centre-back Trevoh Chalobah.

The reported fee is set at €30 million. Both clubs remain confident the deal will be completed, as the player himself agreed on all personal terms with Como several days ago.

All that remains is the final green light from Chelsea, after which the transfer will become official. If there are no unexpected obstacles, Chalobah will soon become the newest addition to the Italian club.

For Como, this transfer could be one of the most prestigious in the club’s history. Bringing in a defender with Chelsea experience would be a major boost ahead of the new season and underlines the club’s ambition to establish themselves among Serie A’s elite.

Chalobah’s market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €40 million, and his contract with Chelsea runs until 2028.

Details: According to the latest information from Santi Aouna, Trabzonspor has reached the final stage of negotiations with Mohamed Salah and is close to reaching a full agreement with the player.

It is reported that the club has made significant progress in talks with the player's agent and is now considered the leading contender to sign him. Against this backdrop, Beşiktaş has been forced to officially suspend negotiations, despite having previously reached a verbal agreement with Salah's camp.

According to the source, the Istanbul club offered Salah a 1+1 contract with a net salary of 10 million euros per season, plus 2 million euros in bonuses. However, Trabzonspor's rapid progress has put the deal in serious jeopardy.

Now, the club from Trabzon is just one step away from pulling off a blockbuster transfer. If the parties finalize the last details, Trabzonspor will be able to hijack the player at the very last moment, leaving Beşiktaş without one of the top signings of this summer.

Details: According to the latest from The Touchline, Los Blancos are closely monitoring the progress of 17-year-old Mexican midfielder Gilberto Mora, who has made a name for himself with Tijuana and the Mexican national team.

The rapid rise of the young midfielder hasn't gone unnoticed. Real Madrid's scouts have been impressed by Mora's performances, submitting glowing reports to the club's management. Thanks to his displays, the youngster is already considered one of the brightest prospects in Mexican football.

Despite their strong interest, Madrid isn't rushing things. The club's management is taking a patient approach, believing it's more important for Mora to continue his development and gain regular playing time rather than making an early move to a European giant.

As a result, no official negotiations are expected in the immediate future. However, Real's interest remains very much alive, and if the young Mexican keeps progressing, a transfer to one of the world's top clubs could just be a matter of time.

Gilberto Mora's market value is currently estimated at €25 million by Transfermarkt.

Details: According to journalist Christian Falk, the German giants are closely monitoring Manchester United striker Benjamin Šeško and consider the Slovenian one of the main candidates to strengthen their attacking line.

At this stage, it’s just interest from the German champions. No negotiations between the clubs have started yet, and there’s no information about a possible transfer fee or personal contract terms.

The 23-year-old Šeško is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising centre-forwards. Thanks to his physical attributes, speed, and impressive scoring record, he has long been on the radar of leading European clubs.

Even though Harry Kane remains a key figure in Bayern’s attack, the club’s management is proactively exploring future options. Should their interest in Šeško develop into concrete negotiations, this transfer could become one of the most high-profile moves of the upcoming windows.

Benjamin Šeško’s market value is estimated at €75 million by Transfermarkt.

The Parisian club has reached an agreement with Monaco for the 24-year-old's transfer for €50 million. After a breakthrough in club-to-club negotiations, both parties have also ironed out the final details with the player himself, who has given his green light to the move.

Now, Akliouche just needs to complete his medical, which is scheduled for next week. After that, the Frenchman will sign a long-term contract with PSG, tying him to the club until June 2031.

For the reigning French champions, this is one of the marquee reinforcements of the current transfer window. Akliouche is regarded as one of Ligue 1's brightest young stars, and his arrival is set to significantly boost Luis Enrique's attacking options ahead of the new season.

Ajax had hoped to keep one of the club’s most promising young talents, but in Amsterdam, there’s now an awareness that PSG has already entered preliminary talks for the Belgian’s potential transfer. This move could have a major impact on the youngster’s future.

Godts is widely regarded as one of the most talented young wingers in Europe. His pace, technical ability, and knack for creating danger have attracted interest from several top clubs, but it’s PSG who have made the first concrete move.

The transfer fee is set at €8 million, but Real Madrid have included important clauses in the agreement. The Spanish giants retain 50% of any future transfer fee, as well as the right to influence the player's next move if offers come in from other clubs.

For Valdepeñas, the move to Fiorentina marks a new chapter in his career and a chance to gain more first-team experience at a high level. In Florence, the club hopes the young player will quickly adapt to Serie A and unlock his full potential.

Details: The move of veteran goalkeeper Vozinha to Chilean giants Colo-Colo has suddenly been thrown into serious doubt. According to Zarici Sosa (TUDN), the deal is at risk of collapsing due to financial disagreements between the player and the club.

Reports indicate that the keeper has yet to receive the promised financial guarantees stipulated in his contract. This uncertainty has cast a shadow over a transfer that just days ago seemed all but sealed.

This opening has been seized by Mexican side Querétaro. Sources say the club has already offered the 40-year-old shot-stopper a contract worth $1 million per season, along with additional bonuses. The Mexican club's management is trying to convince Vozinha to accept their offer before he heads to Chile to sign with Colo-Colo.

Now, the future of one of the most talked-about transfers of recent days hangs in the balance. If the parties fail to resolve the financial issues, Vozinha could make a last-minute U-turn and continue his career in the Mexican league.

However, Atletico’s chances of sealing the deal are practically nonexistent. The Madrid club’s representatives have been told that Rodri’s sole objective is a move to Real. The midfielder wants to continue his career at the Santiago Bernabeu and is not considering a return to Diego Simeone’s squad.

As a result, Atletico find themselves in the same situation as PSG and Bayern: other European giants are not ready to enter the transfer battle, as the player’s priority is crystal clear.

Howe took charge of Newcastle in November 2021 and, over several seasons, transformed the Magpies from relegation battlers into regular European contenders. Under the guidance of the English manager, Newcastle returned to the Champions League and once again began challenging for the highest honours in English football.

Howe's crowning achievement came with victory in the 2025 EFL Cup. In the final, Newcastle defeated Liverpool to claim their first domestic trophy in 70 years, after which the coach was awarded the honorary Freedom of Newcastle for his contribution to the history of both the club and the city.

Now it's up to the Napoli management to decide whether to agree to the sale of the player. The transfer fee remains undisclosed for now.

Bayer views Gutierrez as a direct replacement for Alejandro Grimaldo. Previous reports of the German club's interest in the player have also come from BILD and journalist Guillermo Rai.

The next move is up to Napoli—Leverkusen are awaiting an official response to their offer.

Details: According to AS, the Catalan club’s management has added Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis to their list of attacking reinforcements. The Greek forward is being considered as a backup option in case Barcelona fails to land their primary target—Julián Álvarez.

• Also read: Birmingham - Barcelona: Prediction, facts, betting tips and H2H - July 31, 2026.

However, a potential move for Pavlidis will depend not only on the negotiations for Álvarez. The Catalans will only turn to the Greek striker if Ferran Torres leaves the club.

Striking a deal with Benfica won’t be easy. The Portuguese side is counting on their star marksman and has no intention of letting him go easily after the start of the new season.

Barcelona’s interest intensified following Pavlidis’s outstanding performance in the Europa League qualifiers. The Greek netted four goals against St. Gallen, helping Benfica overturn a 1–2 deficit from the first leg.

• Also read: Debut of a new era. Prediction for Manchester City vs Inter match.

Real Madrid has not included the 18-year-old in the squad for the upcoming match. This move is directly linked to preparations for his temporary departure—Franco is set to gain regular playing time at another club.

The priority option for Madrid remains a loan within Europe. A potential return for Mastantuono to River Plate does not appeal to Real’s management, who want the player to continue adapting to European football. The specific club has not yet been chosen.

Details: According to The Athletic, the London club has reached a verbal agreement with Newcastle for the transfer of Brazil international midfielder Bruno Guimarães.

Reports say the Gunners have tabled a €90 million bid for the 28-year-old midfielder, and Newcastle are expected to accept the offer. The deal is now in its final stages, with only minor formalities left before it becomes official.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Guimarães is set to undergo his medical this Saturday and will then sign his contract with Arsenal.

For Mikel Arteta’s side, the arrival of the Brazilian could prove to be one of the most pivotal reinforcements ahead of the new campaign. Guimarães is regarded as one of the Premier League’s top central midfielders thanks to his versatility, playmaking vision, and relentless engine in the heart of the pitch.

If the deal goes through, Arsenal will secure one of the most expensive transfers of the current summer window and significantly bolster their title ambitions for the upcoming season.

Guimarães’ market value is currently estimated at €40 million by Transfermarkt.

Details: Today, Milan's Inter officially announced the signing of English defender John Stones on their official X social media page.

The 32-year-old defender joins the Nerazzurri as a free agent after his contract with Manchester City expired.

The Italian giants have secured the experienced center-back on a long-term deal running through the summer of 2028. All necessary paperwork has been signed, and Stones has been officially unveiled as Inter's newest player.

The acquisition of Stones stands out as one of the most high-profile free transfers of this summer. The Englishman brings a wealth of experience at the highest level, including domestic league titles, European trophies, and a successful run with the England national team.

At Inter, there's hope that Stones' experience and leadership will fortify the defense ahead of the new season. The defender now faces the challenge of adapting to Italian football and embarking on a new chapter of his career in Serie A.

Details: Roma are actively working to strengthen their squad and are considering signing Argentine winger Franco Mastantuono. According to renowned and reputable journalist and insider Ekrem Konur, the Roman club is interested in a loan deal for the player with no option to buy.

Reports suggest that the potential deal directly depends on the future of Matías Soulé. If the Argentine leaves Roma this summer, the club intends to accelerate negotiations for Mastantuono to quickly fill the vacant position.

According to sources, after a conversation with Real Madrid’s head coach José Mourinho, the young midfielder is hoping for more playing time and is therefore open to a temporary move to another club. This could prove to be a decisive factor in the talks.

However, Roma are not the only contenders for the talented Argentine. Fiorentina and Milan are also showing interest in Mastantuono, promising a fierce battle for one of Argentina’s most promising footballers.

Franco Mastantuono’s market value is estimated at €45 million by Transfermarkt.

Details: Manchester United are actively exploring options to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer window. According to journalist Nicolò Schira, the English club has requested information about Juventus winger Francisco Conceição, who could be on the move this summer.

The club’s management is reportedly keeping a close eye on the Portuguese player’s situation, considering him as a candidate to bolster the attacking line. Conceição’s future at the Turin club remains uncertain, which could pave the way for a potential transfer.

At this stage, United are only gathering information, and no official negotiations between the clubs have been confirmed yet. Nevertheless, Manchester United’s interest is believed to be genuine, and developments could come soon if the English side decides to take concrete action.

Conceição is under contract with Juventus until 2030, and his market value is estimated at €30 million by Transfermarkt.

Details: The move of veteran goalkeeper Vozinha to Chilean side Colo Colo has unexpectedly been thrown into doubt. According to BioBio, the shot-stopper failed to board his scheduled flight from Portugal to Chile, despite being expected to arrive on Thursday to complete final formalities and sign his contract.

Sources indicate that the player's absence is not due to personal reasons. Instead, Moroccan club Renaissance Sportive Berkane, recently taken over by former Cape Verde national team coach Bubista, has suddenly entered the race for the 40-year-old goalkeeper. Reports suggest that the club has made a fresh offer to Vozinha, aiming to hijack the deal just before its completion with Colo Colo.

As a result, the experienced keeper's future remains uncertain. A decision regarding the next step in his career could be made in the coming days.

Notably, earlier this month, Vozinha emphasized that joining a club that truly values him as a player is his top priority.

"I want to find a team that genuinely wants me as a footballer, not just for marketing purposes," the goalkeeper stated.

Details: Today, on their official X social media page, Real Madrid officially announced the signing of Levante's Spanish striker Carlos Espí.

The young forward becomes a new member of Los Blancos after the club activated his release clause with Levante.

Reports indicate that the transfer fee amounted to €25 million. All the formalities of the deal have been completed, and the player has already joined the team, signing a long-term contract that runs until the summer of 2031.

Espí’s move is another step in Real’s ongoing strategy to rejuvenate the squad. The Madrid club expects the talented Spanish forward to fulfill his potential and eventually become a key part of the team’s attacking line.

In the coming days, Carlos Espí will start training with his new teammates and will be looking to impress the coaching staff and earn his chance to make an official debut for Los Merengues.

Last season, Espí played 27 matches for Levante, scoring 13 goals, and his market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt at €20 million.

Details: Chelsea is maintaining an active presence in the transfer market and is closely monitoring the situation surrounding Newcastle's 21-year-old left-back, Lewis Hall.

According to renowned insider Ekrem Konur, the English defender remains one of the main candidates to bolster the Blues' left flank.

Reports indicate that Manchester United had previously shown interest in Hall, but the Red Devils failed to make significant progress in negotiations. Against this backdrop, Chelsea's position appears much more promising.

The London club's management views Lewis Hall as nearly the perfect option to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season. His candidacy continues to be actively discussed within the club, and a transfer remains one of the possible scenarios for this summer.

While no official negotiations between the clubs have been confirmed yet, Chelsea's interest in the defender is serious. Should the Londoners decide to make a concrete move, the battle for one of England's most promising defenders could become a major storyline of the current transfer window.

Lewis Hall's market value is estimated at €40 million by Transfermarkt, and his contract with Newcastle runs until 2030.

As reported by Marca, the English club has reached a full agreement with both Real Madrid and Cesar Palacios himself, and the deal is now considered closed.

According to the source, the transfer fee will amount to €10 million. At the same time, the Madrid club has secured a 30% sell-on clause, allowing Los Blancos to benefit further should Palacios’s value rise significantly in the future.

According to journalist Nicolo Schira, the English club has made enquiries about Portuguese winger Rafael Leão, who could leave Milan during the current transfer window.

Reports suggest that Leão is no longer seen as a key figure in the Italian club’s long-term plans, making a summer exit a realistic prospect. Manchester United are aiming to capitalize on this, having already begun to explore the terms of a potential deal.

At this stage, United’s interest is at an early stage and the club is gathering information, but the situation could develop rapidly in the coming weeks. Should negotiations accelerate, a move for the Portuguese star could become one of the most talked-about transfers of the summer.

Leão is under contract with Milan until 2028, with his market value rated at €50 million by Transfermarkt.

One of the main stumbling blocks in negotiations remains the player's financial demands. According to Alvarez, Real cannot afford to pay Vinicius a signing bonus of €80 million, nor grant him 80% of his image rights.

Thus, the Madrid club is not looking to offload the Brazilian at any cost, but under Mourinho, his status as an untouchable player is no longer guaranteed. If a truly advantageous offer arrives, the management is prepared to consider selling the winger.

A Bola reports that Sporting will receive at least €40 million as a fixed fee for the defender. The total transfer fee could rise to €45 million with bonuses, and the Lisbon club will also retain a 10% sell-on clause for any future sale of the centre-back.

The real shock is that, in recent weeks, another Diomande—winger Jan Diomande—had been at the center of transfer rumors. However, Nottingham Forest has instead opted to pursue his Ivorian namesake from Sporting.

Both clubs are aiming to finalize the deal before the friendly match between Nottingham Forest and Sporting, set for Friday at the Algarve Stadium.

Reports indicate that the Blues have already held preliminary talks with the player's representatives, discussing the possible terms of a personal contract. While negotiations are still at an early stage, Chelsea's interest in the defender is considered genuine.

The club's hierarchy view Hernandez as one of their priority targets to reinforce the left side of the defense ahead of the new season. The French international has long established himself as one of the finest players in his position thanks to his pace, attacking runs, and consistent defensive performances.

Hernandez is under contract with Al Hilal until 2028, while his market value is estimated at €20 million by Transfermarkt.

Details: Manchester City midfielder Rodri has made his preference clear should he return to La Liga. According to journalist Matteo Moretto, several Barcelona players—who share the national team dressing room with the Spaniard—attempted to persuade him to make the switch to Camp Nou.

Despite the efforts of the Catalan club's stars, Rodri has made his final decision in favor of Real Madrid. According to the source, it is the Galacticos who are the midfielder's top choice for the next step in his career.

At this stage, there is no agreement between clubs, but the player's position is already known. If Real Madrid make a concrete move to sign one of the world's best midfielders, the Madrid side will have the upper hand in the transfer battle.

Rodri continues to attract interest from several European powerhouses, but the player's own preference could prove decisive in how the situation unfolds.

Rodri's market value is estimated at €55 million by Transfermarkt, and his contract with City runs until the summer of 2027.

Over the coming days, the 32-year-old Argentine will undergo a medical examination. If all goes well, he will officially become a Leeds United player. The English club is expected to announce the signing as soon as all formalities are complete.

If the transfer goes through, it will be one of Leeds' most high-profile signings in recent years.

Paulo Dybala's transfer value is currently estimated at 5 million euros by Transfermarkt.

Details: Fulham are on the verge of signing one of the most promising young footballers from Real Madrid's system. The London club is close to reaching a final agreement for the transfer of 21-year-old attacking midfielder Cesar Palacios, with both sides now ironing out the final details of the deal.

According to Fabrizio Romano on his X social media page, negotiations have entered a decisive phase, but Real Madrid want to maintain control over the player's future. That's why the Spanish giants are insisting on including special clauses in the agreement that would allow them to influence Palacios' next steps. This could involve a buy-back option or a percentage of any future sale.

If the parties can settle the remaining legal details, the transfer will be completed soon. For Fulham, this move fits into their strategy of strengthening the squad with young, high-potential players, while Real Madrid will continue to keep a close eye on the development of their academy graduate.

According to Transfermarkt, Palacios is valued at €7.5 million. Should the move go through, it will be the first transfer of his professional career.

Details: Juventus is on the verge of completing one of this summer’s most high-profile signings. The Turin side has reached a fundamental agreement with Bayer 04 for the transfer of 18-year-old Bosnian prodigy Kerim Alajbegovic.

According to renowned and highly respected journalist Patrick Berger, the fixed fee for the deal will be €33 million, with the German club potentially earning up to €40 million including bonuses.

Chelsea was initially considered the frontrunner for the young winger and had been negotiating with Bayer, but at the decisive moment, Juventus managed to outpace the English club and also beat out Napoli in the race.

Now, only the final formalities remain: the player must undergo a medical and sign a contract with the Turin side. Once those steps are completed, the transfer will be officially announced.

Alajbegovic is regarded as one of Europe's most promising young players. He spent last season at Red Bull Salzburg, after which Bayer activated their buy-back clause.

According to Transfermarkt, Alajbegovic’s market value is estimated at €25 million.

One of the contenders for the 23-year-old Englishman is Leeds United, who are actively seeking to bolster their attacking line ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season.

The Leeds management is already aware of the financial terms of a possible deal and sees Delap as one of the main candidates to strengthen their front line. At the same time, the club is also working on other options, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, aiming to create serious competition for a starting spot.

Chelsea has not yet made a final decision regarding the player's future, but the likelihood of his departure this summer remains high.

Details: Juventus has finalized one of the most anticipated transfers of the window. According to Nicolo Schira, the Turin club has reached a full agreement for the transfer of striker Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain.

The transfer fee will amount to €38 million plus additional bonuses. The player himself will sign a long-term contract running until summer 2031, with a salary of €5 million per season.

According to the source, the French forward's medical examination is scheduled for the near future, after which the deal will be officially announced.

For Juventus, landing Kolo Muani is a major boost to their attacking line. The club's management expects the Frenchman to become one of the team's leaders and help the Bianconeri compete for trophies both in Serie A and on the European stage.

Kolo Muani's transfer wraps up a lengthy negotiation process between the clubs, and the striker is now ready to begin a new chapter of his career in Turin.

Last season, Muani played for Tottenham on loan, but returned to Paris after his loan spell ended. He managed to make 41 appearances for the Spurs, scoring 5 goals and providing 4 assists.

His market value is currently estimated at €20 million by Transfermarkt.

Details: The experienced Bosnian striker Edin Džeko will continue his career at Schalke. According to Florian Plettenberg, the 40-year-old forward has fully agreed terms with Schalke 04, and the deal is now in its final stages of completion.

All key details have already been settled. This coming Sunday and Monday, Džeko will receive clearance for his medical examination, after which he'll put pen to paper on a contract running until the summer of 2027.

It's reported that the main driving force behind Džeko's new contract was Schalke head coach Miron Muslic, who personally insisted on keeping the veteran goalscorer on the roster. The coach is convinced that Džeko's leadership, vast international experience, and clinical finishing will be vital for the team's success in the upcoming Bundesliga campaign.

For the forward himself, this marks yet another challenge in a storied career spanning top European leagues. Despite his age, Džeko remains a sought-after striker, and Schalke are counting on his experience to be decisive in their pursuit of top positions.

Last season, Džeko featured in 11 matches for Schalke, netting 6 goals and providing 3 assists. According to Transfermarkt, his market value stands at 1 million euros.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are keen to keep the player and are planning to offer him a new contract in September. Previously, PSG representatives had already made contact regarding a possible move, although no official bid has been submitted to the Catalan club so far.

The pursuit of Álvarez remains an extremely challenging task: Atlético are holding a firm stance and have no intention of letting go of their leader easily, despite Arsenal’s interest and a potentially sizeable offer.

He especially stood out in the draw against Brazil—registering 86 touches and completing over 90% of his passes, making him one of the tournament's breakout stars.

Last season, Bouaddi firmly established himself in Lille's starting lineup. Across all competitions, the 18-year-old midfielder played 42 matches and provided one assist, racking up over 2,300 minutes in Ligue 1 alone. His consistency and maturity in the heart of midfield have caught the attention of several top European clubs.

In Madrid, they are also considering the option of loaning the young Argentine out in order to give him more playing time. However, it’s unclear whether Real’s management sees a return to South America as the best route for his development.

For Mastantuono himself, a return to River Plate could be a chance to get regular minutes again, regain confidence, and continue his growth in familiar surroundings.

• Also read: Match prediction: Slovan vs Iberia – the hosts should confidently seal this tie – 29.07.2026.

For Lyon, signing Openda is a significant boost to their attacking options. The Belgian can operate as a central striker or drift wide, making the most of his pace and ability to run in behind defenders.

This move should also help the player regain his confidence and secure more playing time. Openda's stint at Juventus was far from what was expected: last season, he made 34 appearances across all competitions but managed to score just two goals.

Previously, Lens, Rennes, and Coventry were also interested in the Belgian. However, it was Lyon who managed to outpace the competition and reach an agreement with the Turin club for the striker's loan.

For Juventus, this deal provides an opportunity to lighten the squad and find game time for a player who has lost his key role in the team. Lyon, meanwhile, gets an experienced and motivated forward without having to immediately pay a hefty fee for a permanent transfer.

Now, Openda's main task will be to adapt as quickly as possible to the demands of the new coaching staff and prove that he can still be a prolific striker at the highest level.

Eduardo Camavinga is not considered untouchable either. After an inconsistent season, Real may consider a major offer from a Premier League club, using the funds to rebuild their central line.

Meanwhile, Mourinho wants to keep Gonzalo García, seeing him as a special option in attack. Franco Mastantuono, on the other hand, could go out on loan to gain regular playing time.

Badiashile is under contract with the English club until 2031, so the final decision rests with the Blues' management. Despite the differences in conditions, both parties continue to discuss possible scenarios for the deal.

Talks are still at an early stage, and the coming days could prove decisive for the French defender's future.
