Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Adam Wharton
Friday

Crystal Palace have rejected an approach from Manchester City for England midfielder Adam Wharton and told suitors he is not for sale. City made the enquiry while rebuilding midfield following Rodri’s departure, but Palace immediately shut down the possibility.

New Palace manager Pierre Sage publicly backed the 22-year-old to remain at Selhurst Park for another season. Wharton is contracted until 2029, giving Palace a strong negotiating position while City continue examining several alternatives before the transfer deadline.

Inter Milan, Brentford and Aleksandar Stankovic
Friday

Inter Milan have reportedly rejected a Brentford offer worth €40m plus €5m in bonuses for midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic. The Italian champions have decided the player is not for sale, while Stankovic has also made clear he wants to stay.

Inter considered possible loan options but have now closed that route as Stankovic pushes for a first-team role. Rejecting a package potentially worth €45m underlines the club’s valuation of the midfielder and its intention to keep him through at least January.

Aston Villa, West Ham United and Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Friday

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham on a season-long loan containing a conditional obligation to buy. The 28-year-old DR Congo international returns to the Premier League after West Ham’s relegation last season.

The completion follows Villa’s earlier agreement for the right-back and adds another experienced defender during a major squad rebuild. Wan-Bissaka made 65 appearances for West Ham and started all four of DR Congo’s matches at the 2026 World Cup.

Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Yan Diomande
Friday

Real Madrid have officially signed Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig for a reported €125m base fee, with bonuses potentially taking the deal to €140m. The winger has signed a long-term contract running through 2033.

Diomande leaves Leipzig after one season in which he produced 15 goals and 11 assists across 46 competitive matches. The €125m guaranteed fee makes him one of the most expensive Bundesliga departures ever and a major addition to Jose Mourinho’s Madrid rebuild.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Savinho
Friday

Tottenham have agreed a deal with Manchester City to sign Brazil winger Savinho for £75m plus up to £10m in add-ons. The 22-year-old will undergo a medical before signing a long-term contract, taking Spurs’ summer spending beyond £300m.

Spurs failed to sign Savinho last summer, but limited game time under Pep Guardiola reopened the move. Roberto De Zerbi wants more attacking width, while City are already pursuing Palmeiras winger Allan Elias as part of their ongoing squad overhaul.

Ronaldinho and Ravenna
Thursday

Brazil legend Ronaldinho has returned to professional football at age 46 with Italian third-tier club Ravenna, more than a decade after retiring. The former Barcelona star was unveiled before thousands of supporters and will also become a shareholder in the club.

Ronaldinho last played professionally for Fluminense in 2015 and says he hopes to score his 300th career goal. Ravenna’s president insists the move is not merely promotional, although the Brazilian will not feature in Monday’s Serie C opener.

PSV Eindhoven, RB Leipzig and Lutsharel Geertruida
Thursday

PSV have completed the signing of Netherlands defender Lutsharel Geertruida from RB Leipzig on a season-long loan. PSV will reportedly pay around €6m for the loan package and hold an option to make the transfer permanent for €12.5m.

Leipzig’s supervisory board has approved the move after Tuesday’s agreement in principle, allowing Geertruida to complete his medical and join PSV. The Dutch champions see him as their preferred solution after Jerdy Schouten suffered a serious knee injury.

Liverpool, Brighton and Yankuba Minteh
Thursday

Brighton have rejected a £50m offer from Liverpool for Gambia winger Yankuba Minteh. The 22-year-old is one of Liverpool’s leading wide-attacking targets as Andoni Iraola looks to strengthen after Mohamed Salah’s departure from Anfield this summer.

Brighton are reluctant to sell despite Minteh being open to the move, while Liverpool continue assessing alternatives including PSG’s Bradley Barcola. Minteh is currently recovering from leg surgery and is expected to remain sidelined for at least eight weeks.

Manchester City, Palmeiras and Allan Elias
Thursday

Manchester City are in talks with Palmeiras over winger Allan Elias as they prepare for further attacking changes. The 22-year-old Brazilian is being considered as a potential Savinho replacement while Tottenham continue negotiations for the City forward.

Palmeiras maintain Allan is not for sale and sources indicate interested clubs may need to trigger his €100m release clause. City are nevertheless pursuing the deal as Enzo Maresca reshapes a squad already hit by several high-profile departures.

Troy Parrott, Real Betis and AZ Alkmaar
Thursday

Republic of Ireland striker Troy Parrott has completed a permanent transfer from AZ Alkmaar to Real Betis. The move takes the former Tottenham forward into La Liga after two seasons in the Netherlands that helped rebuild his career.

Parrott joined AZ from Tottenham for around €4m in 2024 and developed into an important player in Alkmaar. AZ confirmed his departure and praised his progress, while the transfer gives the 24-year-old his first permanent opportunity in Spanish football.
