Medical expected on Sunday, June 9, 2025
Manchester City have agreed a €55 million (£46.3m) deal to sign Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan on a five-year contract. The Dutch midfielder scored 15 goals last season in Serie A.
Reijnders emerged as Milan’s top-performing midfielder amid a poor team campaign. With Kevin De Bruyne departing, he will add fresh firepower to Guardiola’s midfield.
Rafael Leão (AC Milan)
June 8, 2025
Rafael Leão has informed AC Milan of his desire to leave this summer. The club has set a minimum transfer fee of €70 million for the Portuguese winger.
Bayern Munich have made initial contact but no formal offer has been submitted yet. The 25-year-old is on their shortlist, though talks remain at an early stage.
Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)
June 8, 2025
Liverpool have submitted a new £113m offer for Florian Wirtz, including £100m upfront and £13m in add-ons, still short of Leverkusen’s £126m asking price.

June 8, 2025

Federico Chiesa (Liverpool)
June 7, 2025
AC Milan are targeting a loan move for Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa, who made only 14 appearances last season after his transfer from Juventus. The Italian is open to returning to Serie A amid limited game time in England.
Chiesa struggled to settle at Liverpool despite the team winning the Premier League. AC Milan view him as a valuable attacking option, and his preference for a Serie A return makes a loan move a viable short-term solution.
Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal)
June 7, 2025
Arsenal centre-back Gabriel has signed a new four-year contract extending his stay at the club until 2029. The Brazilian defender joined in 2020 for £27m and has become a core player under Mikel Arteta.
