Manchester City, Lille and Ayyoub Bouaddi
Saturday

Manchester City are reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Lille for 18-year-old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi after negotiations moved into their final stages. Discussions over personal terms are still continuing, but the club-to-club portion is described as nearly complete.

City see Bouaddi as a major long-term midfield project after his rapid development in France attracted interest from several leading European clubs. The pursuit has added significance because Rodri could leave City during the same summer transfer window.

Middlesbrough, Manchester United and Radek Vitek
Saturday

Middlesbrough have completed the signing of Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek in a deal worth up to £14m. The 22-year-old becomes the seventh summer arrival at Boro and sets a reported transfer record for a goalkeeper joining a second-tier club.

United retain a 35% sell-on clause, matching rights and a buy-back option as part of the agreement. Vitek chose a permanent move after several loans, including a strong Bristol City spell where he recorded 12 clean sheets last season.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Savinho
Saturday

Tottenham are closing in on a deal worth around £60m for Manchester City winger Savinho, with negotiations progressing and all parties reportedly confident. The Brazilian remains Roberto de Zerbi’s leading attacking target as Spurs continue an unusually expensive summer rebuild.

City have delayed final approval while searching for a suitable replacement, leaving Tottenham dependent on that process before completing the transfer. If finalised, Savinho would push Spurs’ summer spending close to £300m and add another major attacking option.

Friday

Inter striker Pio Esposito is moving closer to a new contract despite late interest from Arsenal and Manchester United. The uploaded report says a verbal agreement on fresh terms is already in place and the 21-year-old prefers to continue at Inter.

Both Premier League clubs have contacted parties close to Esposito to test his willingness to move. Unless his position changes, Inter are expected to retain the academy graduate after a season in which he contributed nine goals and five assists.

Friday

LA Galaxy have completed the loan signing of Hirving Lozano from San Diego FC for the remainder of the 2026 season. The former Mexico winger becomes a Designated Player, with the deal containing an option for a permanent move.

San Diego will continue paying a substantial portion of Lozano’s salary while the Galaxy give him a route back to regular football. He had not played since November 2025 after falling outside San Diego’s plans and training away from the team.

Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Bradley Barcola
Friday

Liverpool are reportedly preparing an offer worth around €115m for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. PSG are expected to reject that figure, with reports placing their required base fee near €150m before additional potential bonuses.

Barcola is said to be open to leaving after rejecting an early contract extension, while Liverpool want a marquee winger following Mohamed Salah’s departure. The gap remains substantial, with PSG potentially seeking a total package approaching €170m.

Real Sociedad, Marseille and Nayef Aguerd
Friday

Real Sociedad and Marseille have reached an initial agreement for Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd to return to the Spanish club on loan. The arrangement includes a financial fee and an option allowing Sociedad to purchase him later.

Aguerd has also attracted Gulf interest, including from Al-Sadd, but reportedly agreed to return to Sociedad after his previous successful loan spell. Europa League football and familiarity with the club helped push the 30-year-old toward the Basque side.

Arsenal, Newcastle United and Bruno Guimaraes
Friday

Bruno Guimaraes’ £75m move from Newcastle to Arsenal has reportedly been delayed by administrative issues despite the midfielder already training with Mikel Arteta’s squad. The transfer fee has been agreed and the remaining hold-up is described as procedural.

Guimaraes previously left Newcastle’s training camp, travelled to London and completed the steps around his medical after requesting the move. Arsenal are still expected to announce the transfer once the paperwork is resolved, with no sporting setback reported.
