Premier League clubs already active, with Liverpool landing Wirtz in a record deal
As expected, the Premier League has hit the ground running. Liverpool have caused a stir after sealing a record-breaking £116 million move for Florian Wirtz, the star behind Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga triumph. The 22-year-old joins on a five-year deal and is tipped to be the new creative force in Arne Slot’s side.
That’s not all — the Reds are also eyeing Milos Kerkez, a left-back from Bournemouth, in a move worth £40 million. A medical is expected in days.
At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have submitted a third bid for Dortmund’s 19-year-old winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, a player reportedly eager to join the London club. Dortmund, however, are standing firm.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are quietly making moves. The club has raised its offer for Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford, now reportedly past the £60 million mark. They’re also keeping close tabs on Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, who had an injury-plagued debut season.
Spain Still Silent, But Eyes on Key Targets
La Liga hasn’t made much noise yet, but the rumours are beginning to swirl. Barcelona are exploring a loan option for Marcus Rashford, as the Man United attacker faces an uncertain future.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have their eyes on Nico Williams, the Bilbao winger who has caught attention across Europe following an impressive season.
Serie A Bold with Big Names on Radar
Over in Italy, Napoli are making headlines with interest in Darwin Núñez. The Liverpool striker has reportedly shown private interest in joining the Italian giants. Negotiations are underway, though Atlético Madrid and clubs from Saudi Arabia are also watching closely. Napoli are believed to value him around €50 million.
Ligue 1 Welcomes Back Pogba
France is buzzing with the return of Paul Pogba. The midfielder, now 32, is set to sign with AS Monaco on a deal running until 2027. After injury troubles and a doping suspension, Pogba is hoping to turn a new chapter.
Earlier in the year, PSG secured Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli, a transfer that continues to pay off as the Georgian winger shines in Ligue 1.
It’s been a quiet start in Germany, aside from Wirtz’s departure. Bayern Munich, now under Vincent Kompany, are taking a more watchful approach — scouting young talent and reshaping slowly. They’re also linked to potential exits, including Joshua Kimmich, whose future remains up in the air.
With international tournaments like Euro 2025 and the Copa América wrapping up soon, clubs are bracing for a flurry of last-minute activity. Players will return with fresh price tags and new interest.
Big questions still linger: Will Victor Osimhen stay at Napoli? Will Kimmich leave Bayern? One thing is clear — the window is wide open and the drama is far from over.
