23 May 2026

Arsenal confirmed goalkeeper Karl Hein will join Werder Bremen permanently in July, making him their second confirmed transfer exit of the summer. The move follows Jakub Kiwior’s permanent switch to Porto earlier this month.

Hein joined Arsenal’s academy in 2018 but struggled to earn senior chances, spending last season on loan in Germany. Arsenal thanked him for his contribution, while the transfer gives the goalkeeper a clearer route to regular football.

Julien Duranville, Borussia Dortmund, FC Basel
23 May 2026

Julien Duranville is reportedly set to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer despite being under contract until 2028. The winger has struggled to meet expectations since arriving as a highly rated teenager from Anderlecht in 2023.

Repeated muscle injuries disrupted Duranville’s progress and limited his impact at Dortmund. A loan spell at FC Basel also failed to restart his momentum, leaving both club and player ready to separate before next season.

Liverpool, Yan Diomande, RB Leipzig, Mohamed Salah
23 May 2026

Liverpool are reportedly in a strong position to sign RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande as they plan for life after Mohamed Salah. The teenager is viewed as a leading transfer target after a breakout season in Germany.

Diomande produced 13 goals and 10 assists, drawing serious attention from elite clubs. Leipzig are expected to demand more than €100 million, meaning Liverpool would need a major package before formal talks can progress.

David Alaba, Real Madrid, Florentino Perez
23 May 2026

Real Madrid confirmed David Alaba will leave as a free agent when his contract expires this summer. The defender ends a five-year spell after winning nine trophies, including two La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns.

Alaba’s final seasons were heavily affected by knee injuries and limited minutes, pushing him down the defensive order. Florentino Perez praised his dedication and legacy, while the player now looks for a new challenge elsewhere.

Manchester City, Enzo Fernandez, Enzo Maresca, Chelsea
23 May 2026

Manchester City have reportedly opened talks over a move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez as they prepare for life after Pep Guardiola. Incoming boss Enzo Maresca is said to be driving interest in his former Stamford Bridge player.

City want midfield reinforcements and view Fernandez as a leading target to shape Maresca’s new team. The move would be difficult because Chelsea still hold a long contract, but early talks have started behind the scenes.

Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Victor Munoz, Osasuna
23 May 2026

Newcastle United have joined Aston Villa in the race for Osasuna winger Victor Munoz, with the player viewed as a possible replacement if Anthony Gordon leaves. The rumour adds another name to the summer wide-forward market.

Gordon’s possible Bayern Munich move appears to be the trigger for Newcastle’s interest, while Villa are also tracking attacking reinforcements. Munoz gives both clubs a younger option who could arrive before larger market moves develop.

Joao Gomes, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Wolves
23 May 2026

Atletico Madrid reportedly prefer Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes after Ederson moved closer to Manchester United, while United also remain interested in Gomes. The situation creates a second midfield race around both clubs’ summer plans.

Atletico’s focus could shift fully to Gomes if Ederson heads to Old Trafford, but United’s continued interest may complicate the market. Wolves would likely demand a strong fee because the midfielder remains central to their squad.
