Callum Doyle, Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney
26 May 2026

Wrexham face a new transfer challenge as interest grows in Callum Doyle after their strong Championship season. The Manchester City defender became central to Phil Parkinson’s back line and could now attract bigger offers.

Wrexham have built momentum under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, but holding key players is becoming harder at Championship level. Doyle’s future may test whether the club can retain promotion-quality talent while still strengthening.

Joe Gomez, Liverpool, Aston Villa, AC Milan, Besiktas
26 May 2026

Joe Gomez is attracting interest from Aston Villa, AC Milan and Besiktas as Liverpool prepare for a summer transition. The defender could become available if the club reshape options after a difficult campaign under Arne Slot.

Gomez’s ability to cover centre-back and full-back makes him useful to clubs needing experienced defensive depth. Liverpool’s final decision may depend on incoming signings, squad exits and how much Slot wants to change his back line.

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.
