Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
August 2025
Manchester United are prepared to match Newcastle’s €80 million bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, intensifying the transfer race between the two Premier League clubs. Leipzig rejected Newcastle’s bid over payment structure, while United have shown willingness to meet terms. Talks remain ongoing with both clubs hopeful of securing one of Europe’s top young forwards before a bidding war erupts.
Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal)
August 2025
Jakub Kiwior is considering a move away from Arsenal due to limited game time prospects this season. The 25-year-old centre-back is seeking more consistent starts and could depart before the window closes. Kiwior made 30 appearances last season, filling in for Gabriel, but new signing Cristhian Mosquera has increased competition. Despite Arteta’s desire to keep him, interest remains strong and the final decision rests with the player.
Lionel Messi (Inter Miami)
August 2025
Inter Miami advanced in the Leagues Cup after a 5-4 shootout win over Necaxa, but Lionel Messi’s early exit after 11 minutes with a suspected hamstring injury overshadowed the result. Manager Javier Mascherano said Messi wasn’t in pain but felt something in his hamstring and will undergo tests. Jordi Alba scored a late equalizer in a dramatic 2-2 draw before Miami secured the shootout win.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
August 2025
Newcastle United have submitted a bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko that falls short of the club’s €75 million valuation, with add-ons and a sell-on clause expected to push the deal past €80m. Newcastle view Sesko as a top replacement option should Alexander Isak depart. Manchester United are also in the race for the 21-year-old, who remains one of Europe’s most coveted young forwards this window.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Besiktas)
July 2025
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly facing the sack at Besiktas just months after taking charge in January, with internal pressure growing due to recent inconsistent performances and poor results. After a strong start, including a derby win over Fenerbahce, results have dipped. A 4-2 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League qualifiers has intensified doubts about his future as the club reconsiders direction.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
July 2025
Newcastle have turned down Liverpool’s £120 million bid for Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker is pushing to leave, but manager Eddie Howe hopes to keep him at the club. Speaking during the club’s tour in South Korea, Howe confirmed the rejected offer and praised Isak’s professionalism. The Magpies remain firm on their valuation, with talks ongoing and speculation continuing.
Gianluigi Donnarumma (Paris Saint-Germain)
July 2025
PSG are close to signing Lucas Chevalier from Lille, creating uncertainty around Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future. The Italian is reportedly unhappy after being informed of the club’s decision. Donnarumma played a key role in PSG’s Champions League triumph but could now be pushed aside. With his contract ending in 2026, clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United are expected to monitor his status closely.
Federico Chiesa (Liverpool)
July 2025
Celtic have joined Fulham and Atalanta in the pursuit of Federico Chiesa, who is expected to leave Liverpool this summer in search of regular minutes after a quiet debut season. Chiesa, limited to six league appearances, is unlikely to feature often under Arne Slot. Celtic and Fulham scouted him recently, and Liverpool may sanction a loan despite seeing him as part of their long-term vision.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
July 2025
Saudi club Al-Nassr have formally approached Manchester United for Bruno Fernandes, aiming to reunite him with Cristiano Ronaldo and new manager Jorge Jesus, who coached him at Sporting CP. Fernandes previously rejected a £200m offer from Al-Hilal but hasn’t ruled out a move. With Jesus pushing directly and United open to change, Al-Nassr hope Ronaldo’s influence will seal the deal for the Portuguese playmaker.
Armando Broja (Chelsea)
July 2025
Burnley have reached a deal with Chelsea for the permanent signing of Armando Broja, with the Albanian striker set to undergo a medical before completing the move. Broja, 22, has struggled with major injuries and failed to impress during loan spells at Fulham and Everton. After a promising stint at Southampton, Burnley will offer him a fresh start in the Premier League.
