Jordan Henderson (Ajax)
July 2025
Jordan Henderson has terminated his contract with Ajax at his own request, ending his stay in Amsterdam one year early. His deal was originally set to run until June 2026.

Mohammed Kudus (West Ham > Tottenham Hotspur)
July 2025
Tottenham have reached a £55 million agreement with West Ham to sign midfielder Mohammed Kudus. The Ghanaian has agreed a six-year contract and is set to undergo a medical within 48 hours.
Despite a higher £85m release clause, West Ham accepted Spurs’ improved offer. Kudus had interest from Chelsea and Newcastle, but Spurs moved fastest to secure Thomas Frank’s top midfield target.
Simon Adingra (Brighton > Sunderland)
July 2025
Sunderland have agreed a deal worth £18 million plus £2.5 million in add-ons for Brighton winger Simon Adingra. The 23-year-old is undergoing a medical and has already agreed personal terms with the club.
Sunderland revived talks after a failed January attempt involving a swap deal. Adingra flew in by private jet to finalise the move, becoming their fifth signing of the summer and pushing spending beyond £100 million.
Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City Thunder)
July 2025
Chet Holmgren has signed a fully guaranteed five-year rookie max extension with the Thunder worth up to $250 million. The 2025 NBA champion and defensive anchor is now locked in long-term with OKC’s core.
Despite a mid-season hip injury, Holmgren returned in February to lead the Thunder to their first NBA title. He starred defensively in the playoffs and joins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in OKC’s long-term plans with no options included.
Jordan Henderson (Ajax)
July 2025
Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will leave Ajax after deciding not to trigger an extension clause. He will become a free agent when his current deal expires this summer.
The 34-year-old spent only half a season in the Eredivisie after leaving Saudi Arabia. Henderson now seeks new opportunities, with interest likely from both Europe and MLS clubs.
Cristhian Mosquera (Valencia)
July 2025
Arsenal are still keen on Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera, who has just one year left on his contract. Valencia want €25m, but Arsenal’s initial €15m bid was rejected.
Mosquera has not signed a contract extension and reportedly prefers a move to Arsenal. The Gunners are expected to return with an improved offer as they look to reinforce their backline.
James McAtee (Manchester City)
July 2025
Manchester City are open to selling James McAtee this summer for a fee between £20m and £25m. The England U21 captain is attracting interest from Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A clubs.
Atalanta are among those closely monitoring McAtee’s situation. With limited first-team opportunities at City, the midfielder could seek a move where regular playing time and development are more likely this season.
Victor Osimhen (Napoli)
July 2025
Galatasaray are finalizing a £64.7 million deal to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli after their initial £47.3 million bid was rejected. Both clubs are negotiating the payment structure of the deal.
Osimhen, who scored 37 goals in 41 games last season, has just one year left on his Napoli contract. Galatasaray are moving decisively to secure a top-tier striker before European qualifiers begin.
Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)
July 2025
Marcus Rashford has returned to Manchester United’s Carrington training base for individual work despite being granted time to find a move. He has been stripped of the No. 10 shirt, now given to Matheus Cunha.
Rashford is reportedly not in United’s long-term plans, with Barcelona his preferred destination. His presence at training shows professionalism but signals limited future under the current regime following a poor 2024/25 campaign.
