Manchester United, Chelsea and Andrey Santos
Wednesday

Manchester United have agreed a £50m deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos, with £48m guaranteed and £2m in achievable add-ons. Chelsea have also secured a 10% sell-on clause for the 22-year-old Brazilian talent this week.

United moved quickly after missing other midfield targets and losing depth through Casemiro’s exit and Manuel Ugarte’s knee injury. Santos has Premier League experience, while Chelsea make a major profit on their original £16m investment.

Chelsea, Sporting CP and Geovany Quenda
Wednesday

Chelsea have announced the £40m signing of Sporting CP winger Geovany Quenda on an eight-year contract this summer. The 19-year-old Portugal Under-21 international becomes the second arrival confirmed under new manager Xabi Alonso after Marco Palestra.

Quenda had agreed the move as early as March 2025, during Enzo Maresca’s time at Chelsea. His versatility across winger, attacking midfield and wing-back roles gives Alonso another flexible young option as the squad rebuild continues.

Paris Saint-Germain and Fabian Ruiz
Wednesday

Fabian Ruiz has reportedly signed a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain, rejecting interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. The Spain midfielder had been approaching the final year of his previous PSG deal this summer.

PSG moved to protect a key Luis Enrique midfielder after consecutive domestic and European success. Reports say Ruiz agreed a one-year extension with an option for another season, limiting rival clubs’ hopes of a cut-price move.

Leeds United and Harry Wilson
Wednesday

Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Wales attacker Harry Wilson on a four-year contract this summer. The 29-year-old joins as a free agent after leaving Fulham, where he scored 10 Premier League goals last season.

Wilson becomes Leeds’ first summer signing and brings experience from Liverpool, Fulham and 69 Wales caps. He said Leeds showed the strongest interest after his contract expired, while the club continues looking at further midfield reinforcements.

Angus Gunn and San Jose Earthquakes
Wednesday

Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn has signed for San Jose Earthquakes after leaving Nottingham Forest. The 30-year-old has agreed a contract through the 2030 MLS season and joins a side chasing the Western Conference lead this year.

Gunn played all three of Scotland’s World Cup group games before his move to California. Bruce Arena called him a quality goalkeeper with Premier League and World Cup experience, adding competition for Daniel and Earl William Edwards Jr.

Bruno Guimaraes, Newcastle United and Arsenal
Wednesday

Bruno Guimaraes has asked to leave Newcastle United, with Arsenal accelerating interest in the Brazil midfielder. A fee around £60m was initially discussed with his representatives, although Newcastle have not received direct contact from Arsenal yet.

Newcastle do not want to lose their captain after already selling Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon this summer. Arsenal are weighing midfield options, but Guimaraes’ age, price and Newcastle’s rebuild make any deal politically and financially delicate.

Fenerbahce, Marseille and Mason Greenwood
Wednesday

Fenerbahce are increasingly confident of signing Mason Greenwood from Marseille in a deal worth around €45m. The Turkish club have been advancing talks for the 24-year-old former Manchester United forward after a strong Ligue 1 season.

Marseille are open to selling, while Fenerbahce believe a lucrative package can beat rival interest from Roma and Atletico Madrid. Manchester United are set to benefit from a sizeable sell-on clause inserted when Greenwood left Old Trafford.
