Wrexham, Sunderland and Anthony Patterson
Tuesday

Wrexham have completed the signing of goalkeeper Anthony Patterson from Sunderland for a significant undisclosed fee. Add-ons could push the total beyond the club’s existing transfer record, with the 26-year-old available for the Championship opener against Cardiff.

Patterson reunites with Phil Parkinson, who gave him his Sunderland debut, after losing his starting place and spending part of last season at Millwall. His arrival strengthens Wrexham’s promotion push and could reshape their longer-term goalkeeping hierarchy.

Sheffield United, Manchester City and Kalvin Phillips
Tuesday

Sheffield United have re-signed Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips on a season-long loan. The 30-year-old spent the second half of last season at Bramall Lane but managed only three appearances after suffering a knee injury.

Both clubs maintained contact throughout the summer and Phillips made clear that returning was his preferred move. Sheffield United gain an experienced midfielder determined to restart after injury, while Manchester City move on another player outside their immediate plans.

Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Ferran Torres
Tuesday

Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have reached a preliminary agreement for Ferran Torres after PSG improved their rejected opening offer. The reported package is €50m guaranteed plus €5m in variables, with an official announcement expected before the weekend.

PSG increased the fixed portion after Barcelona refused €40m plus €10m in add-ons. Torres already has terms for a five-season contract, leaving the clubs to convert their verbal understanding into signed documents before completing the transfer.

Roma, Porto and Rodrigo Mora
Tuesday

Roma have reached the outline of a verbal agreement with Porto for teenage attacker Rodrigo Mora. The proposed structure is an initial paid loan with a purchase option that can become mandatory through appearance targets and Champions League qualification.

Reports place Mora’s overall valuation around €50m, with roughly €7m to €8m due for the loan and another €42m to €43m potentially following. The development materially advances negotiations that had previously remained at exploratory club-to-club talks.

Coventry City, Sheffield United and Gustavo Hamer
Tuesday

Coventry City have re-signed midfielder Gustavo Hamer from Sheffield United on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee. The 29-year-old returns three years after leaving the Sky Blues, where he previously scored 19 goals across 132 appearances.

Hamer chose a return after making 123 appearances for Sheffield United and contributing 22 goals and 29 assists. Coventry bring back a proven creator with Premier League experience as they strengthen a squad already boosted by record signing Caleb Yirenkyi.

River Plate, Atletico Madrid and Thiago Almada
Tuesday

Thiago Almada has officially joined River Plate from Atletico Madrid in a major return to Argentine football. River reportedly committed about €20m to secure the World Cup winner, who rejected other interest including a lucrative approach from Flamengo.

Almada said conversations with coach Eduardo Coudet, Nicolas Otamendi and Angel Di Maria heavily influenced his decision. River are making him a marquee part of their rebuild as they seek improved results and greater competitiveness against South America’s strongest clubs.
