Celtic, Real Oviedo and Haitham Hassan
Thursday

Celtic have reportedly reached a complete agreement to sign Egypt winger Haitham Hassan from Real Oviedo on a four-year contract. The clubs are still finalising bonus terms, with the overall fee expected between €6m and €7m.

Hassan accepted Celtic’s offer after attracting wider interest following his World Cup performances. The proposed contract includes additional payments to both the player and Oviedo if Celtic successfully qualify for the Champions League league phase.

Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco and Maghnes Akliouche
Thursday

Paris Saint-Germain have agreed an improved €50m fee with Monaco for France winger Maghnes Akliouche. The 24-year-old travelled to Paris for a medical and is expected to sign a long-term contract running until June 2031.

Monaco rejected PSG’s opening €45m proposal before accepting the improved offer. Akliouche is being added to Luis Enrique’s attacking rotation this summer and could help cover Bradley Barcola’s possible departure amid strong transfer interest from Liverpool.

Racing Santander, Barcelona and Jorge Salinas
Thursday

Racing Santander have told Barcelona they must pay Jorge Salinas’ full €16m release clause after receiving a proposal near €6m during negotiations. The 19-year-old defender is a Barcelona target because he can play left-back or centre-back.

Sporting director Chema Aragon said Racing want to strengthen rather than lose important academy players and will not negotiate a discounted price. Barcelona therefore face a €10m valuation gap unless they increase their offer or activate the clause.

AC Milan, Galatasaray and Rafael Leao
Thursday

AC Milan have rejected Galatasaray’s first official €35m bid for Portugal winger Rafael Leao during summer transfer talks. The Turkish champions proposed a permanent transfer, but Milan value the 27-year-old at approximately €50m and refused the opening offer.

Galatasaray are expected to return with an improved proposal near €40m after receiving encouragement from Leao. The forward previously rejected Fenerbahce because of concerns about their project, leaving Galatasaray as the only active bidder described in the report.

Rodri, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona
Thursday

Real Madrid’s talks to sign Rodri have stalled over personal terms and the clubs’ differing valuations. Barcelona are monitoring the situation and could enter the race, while the Manchester City midfielder remains interested in returning to Spain this summer.

Madrid are considering one final attempt after Rodri expressed concerns about their offer and Jose Mourinho’s initial doubts. City want between €65m and €75m, while Barcelona have made no formal bid and still prioritise a centre-forward.

Brighton, Manchester United Women and Gabby George
Thursday

Brighton have completed the signing of versatile defender Gabby George from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee believed to be six figures. The 29-year-old leaves after three seasons and more than 50 appearances for United.

George wanted more regular playing time and joins a Brighton squad already strengthened by Lia Walti and Emilie Joramo. Manager Dario Vidosic highlighted her defensive versatility, technical quality, leadership and extensive Women’s Super League experience.
