Transfer Centre LIVE! Football Transfers, News, Updates and Rumours
The summer transfer window is beginning to heat up, and clubs across Europe are busy preparing their squads for the 2025/26 season. From Premier League giants to continental heavyweights, the rumour mill is in full swing with confirmations, negotiations, and surprise links keeping fans glued to the latest updates.
Here’s your latest roundup of the biggest transfer news and speculation, updated from around the football world.
Manchester United Chase Star Striker
Manchester United are reportedly making moves to secure a marquee striker signing as they aim to bolster their attacking options. After a mixed campaign in 2024/25, Erik ten Hag is said to be keen on bringing in a proven goal scorer to complement Rasmus Højlund.
Among the top targets is Napoli forward Victor Osimhen, though United may face competition from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. Osimhen, 26, has been prolific in Serie A and would command a fee in excess of £90 million. However, sources suggest United may be exploring a structured deal including add-ons and potential player swaps.
Talks are said to be at a preliminary stage, but United’s intent is clear: they want a striker capable of transforming their front line.
Liverpool Eye Midfield Reinforcements
Liverpool, under new head coach Arne Slot, are targeting reinforcements in midfield. While last summer saw the arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch, the club is now monitoring Sporting CP’s Morten Hjulmand as a potential addition.
The 24-year-old Danish international has impressed with his defensive discipline and ball progression, fitting the profile of a modern holding midfielder. With Wataru Endo aging and Thiago Alcântara leaving the club, Liverpool are keen to future-proof their midfield.
Sporting are believed to value Hjulmand at around €40 million, and Liverpool scouts have reportedly been tracking him closely over the past six months.
Real Madrid Closing in on Mbappé
One of the longest-running sagas in football may finally be nearing its conclusion. Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid is all but official, with the French superstar expected to be unveiled shortly after the Champions League final.
Mbappé, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires this summer, has long expressed his admiration for Real Madrid and is expected to join on a free transfer, with a hefty signing-on bonus and wages reportedly exceeding €30 million per year.
Los Blancos are already planning commercial campaigns around his arrival, and he is seen as the heir to the club’s next Galáctico era alongside Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Jr.
Chelsea Offload Continues
Chelsea’s squad overhaul under manager Enzo Maresca is set to continue, with several fringe players expected to leave Stamford Bridge. Among them, Trevoh Chalobah and Malang Sarr are attracting interest from clubs in Italy and Germany.
Meanwhile, Conor Gallagher’s future remains uncertain. Tottenham Hotspur are said to be long-term admirers, and could move for the England international if Chelsea are willing to reduce their asking price below £40 million.
Chelsea are also eyeing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, though they’ll face competition from Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
Quickfire Round-Up
Arsenal are monitoring RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško as a potential forward signing. The Gunners are looking to add depth and physical presence up top.
Bayern Munich** have held internal discussions over Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, though no formal approach has been made.
– Barcelona** are working on a deal to bring back João Cancelo and João Félix for another loan spell after productive 2024/25 campaigns.
Final Word
As the days count down toward the official opening of the summer transfer window, expect speculation to grow and negotiations to intensify. Clubs are eager to finalize key deals early to give new signings ample time to integrate into their squads during pre-season.
