Liverpool agreed to sign Cologne defender Sara Agrez on a free transfer, with the centre-back set to join on 1 July. The move adds defensive cover after Gemma Bonner and Gemma Evans were confirmed as summer departures.

Agrez started 23 of Cologne’s 26 league matches last season and brings experience from Slovenia, Germany and international football. Liverpool moved early to refresh their back line before the new Women’s Super League campaign after two defensive exits.

Barcelona have reportedly agreed personal terms with Marcus Rashford as they look to turn his loan from Manchester United into a permanent move. The clubs still have not agreed a transfer fee for the forward.

Barcelona’s progress with Rashford depends on negotiations with United, who must decide whether to lower their demands or wait for rival interest. The deal remains active but incomplete ahead of the summer window.

20 May 2026

Rodri is again being linked with Real Madrid as Pep Guardiola’s expected Manchester City exit changes the picture around his future. Madrid have long admired the midfielder and may see this summer as a possible opening.

Guardiola’s departure would remove one major reason for Rodri to stay at City, although any transfer would still be complex and expensive. Real Madrid are expected to monitor whether the player becomes open to leaving.

John Stones, Bayern Munich, Manchester City
20 May 2026

Bayern Munich are reportedly considering a summer move for John Stones as the defender prepares to leave Manchester City. The transfer would reunite him with Vincent Kompany and add another experienced English player to Bayern’s squad.

Stones is expected to become available after a decade at City, making him attractive to Bayern as they look to strengthen their defence. Kompany’s presence and Harry Kane’s role in Bavaria could help any approach.

Alisson, Liverpool, Juventus
20 May 2026

Alisson has reportedly given Juventus approval to pursue a summer transfer from Liverpool, even if the Italian club miss out on Champions League football. The goalkeeper is prepared to accept Europa League involvement as he seeks a Serie A move.

Juventus still need to agree terms and navigate their uncertain European qualification position before advancing. Liverpool would also need to decide whether to sanction the departure of their senior goalkeeper during a major summer reshuffle.

20 May 2026

Casemiro is closing in on a move to Inter Miami after choosing the MLS club as his preferred destination following his Manchester United exit. The midfielder is expected to become a free agent when his contract ends.

Inter Miami must still resolve MLS discovery rights held by LA Galaxy before completing the deal. Casemiro would join a squad already featuring Lionel Messi, Rodrigo De Paul and Germán Berterame, though not as a Designated Player.

Mijnans confirmed several clubs have shown interest but said discussions remain at an early stage before the summer window. Dortmund are looking at attacking midfield options after Julian Brandt’s free-transfer exit created a gap in the squad.

Deniz Undav, VfB Stuttgart
20 May 2026

VfB Stuttgart have reportedly offered Deniz Undav a club-record contract extension after his strong season as their leading forward. The forward has received a written proposal running until 2029, with an option for another year based on performance.

The new deal would raise Undav’s salary and include a major signing bonus, making him Stuttgart’s top earner by some distance. The club wants to secure him early before interest grows after another productive campaign.

Rodri, Manchester City, Real Madrid
20 May 2026

Rodri is reportedly keen on joining Real Madrid as Manchester City prepare for life after Pep Guardiola. The midfielder has long been admired by Madrid, and Guardiola’s expected departure has reopened questions around his future.

Reports say Guardiola’s exit weakens one of the strongest reasons for Rodri to remain at City beyond this season. Real Madrid now see an opportunity to test the situation, although any move would still require major negotiations.
