Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Everton, West Ham United
26 May 2026

Everton are reportedly targeting Aaron Wan-Bissaka in a £10 million move after West Ham United’s relegation from the Premier League. Tottenham, Newcastle United, Fulham and Sunderland are also said to be monitoring the full-back.

West Ham’s drop could force sales, making Wan-Bissaka a realistic target for clubs seeking defensive reliability. Everton appear to be moving early, but wider Premier League interest may push up competition before talks advance.

Said El Mala, Brentford, Cologne
26 May 2026

Brentford have reportedly submitted a €45 million bid for Cologne winger Said El Mala. The move would be a major attacking investment as the club looks to strengthen after narrowly missing out on European qualification.

El Mala fits Brentford’s pattern of targeting younger players with resale value before bigger rivals move. Cologne must now decide whether to accept a sizeable offer or hold firm for a larger fee in the summer market.

Uli Hoeneß, Lothar Matthäus, Nick Woltemade, Bayern Munich
26 May 2026

Uli Hoeneß accused Lothar Matthäus of helping derail Bayern Munich’s move for Nick Woltemade by publicly raising the forward’s valuation. Hoeneß claimed Bayern were close to signing him before Stuttgart’s price expectations changed.

Woltemade eventually joined Newcastle United for €75 million, but his uneven season has already sparked exit talk. Bayern still want a versatile forward to support Harry Kane, meaning the collapsed deal could return to the agenda.

Savinho, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Roberto De Zerbi
26 May 2026

Tottenham have reopened talks to sign Manchester City winger Savinho, with a £60 million move being explored. Roberto De Zerbi wants more wide options after injuries and January departures left Spurs short on attacking depth.

City blocked a deal last summer, but Savinho’s limited starts this season have reopened the door. Tottenham are moving early, while Newcastle are also monitoring the winger as City weigh squad changes after Guardiola’s exit.

Josh Windass, Rangers, Wrexham, Danny Rohl
26 May 2026

Rangers have launched another attempt to sign Wrexham forward Josh Windass as Danny Rohl targets attacking reinforcements. Windass was Wrexham’s top scorer and player of the season, but remains under contract until 2028.

Rangers tried to sign Windass in January and are now formalising interest before the summer window. Wrexham hold strong leverage after promotion, while Windass has publicly said he wants to stay and chase another step forward.

Khadija Shaw, Manchester City, Chelsea
25 May 2026

Khadija Shaw signed a new four-year Manchester City contract until 2030, reversing expectations that she would leave the Women’s Super League champions. Chelsea had been favourites after renewal talks broke down, but Shaw announced her stay during City’s celebrations.

The striker had just finished as WSL top scorer for a third straight season and won major individual awards. City pushed late to keep their record scorer, with Shaw saying the club still felt like home.

Diego Simeone, Julian Alvarez, Atletico Madrid
25 May 2026

Diego Simeone has fuelled uncertainty over Julian Alvarez’s future by saying the striker has already made his decision. Alvarez continues to be linked with Barcelona, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain before the summer window opens.

Simeone refused to give firm guarantees after Atletico Madrid’s 5-1 defeat to Villarreal, saying the question belonged to Alvarez. His answer added pressure around a player who has attracted interest from several major European clubs.

Wilfried Zaha, Charlotte FC, Galatasaray
24 May 2026

Wilfried Zaha has left Charlotte FC and will return to parent club Galatasaray during Major League Soccer’s World Cup break. His loan had been extended to June 30, but Charlotte are inactive until mid-July.

Zaha scored 13 goals and added 14 assists in 46 appearances, but never fully established himself in MLS. His exit also follows his omission from the World Cup squad, leaving his club future back with Galatasaray.

Lawrence Shankland, Rangers, Hearts
24 May 2026

Rangers are pushing to sign Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland, with reports claiming advanced talks are under way. A deal could be completed quickly as the forward prepares to join Scotland’s World Cup squad.

Rangers want the move settled before Shankland turns full focus to international duty. Hearts face the prospect of losing their captain and main forward, while Ibrox officials appear keen to move early in the market.

Thiago Silva, Chelsea, AC Milan, Porto
24 May 2026

Chelsea reportedly want Thiago Silva to return to the club in a coaching role after his Porto exit, but AC Milan have offered him a one-year playing contract. The defender now has two different career paths.

Chelsea’s interest would bring Silva back to Stamford Bridge as part of the staff setup, while Milan’s offer gives him a chance to continue playing. His decision will show whether he wants one final season or a coaching start.
