Middlesbrough have completed the signing of Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek in a deal worth up to £14m. The 22-year-old becomes the seventh summer arrival at Boro and sets a reported transfer record for a goalkeeper joining a second-tier club.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Savinho
Saturday

Tottenham are closing in on a deal worth around £60m for Manchester City winger Savinho, with negotiations progressing and all parties reportedly confident. The Brazilian remains Roberto de Zerbi’s leading attacking target as Spurs continue an unusually expensive summer rebuild.

City have delayed final approval while searching for a suitable replacement, leaving Tottenham dependent on that process before completing the transfer. If finalised, Savinho would push Spurs’ summer spending close to £300m and add another major attacking option.

Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Bradley Barcola
Friday

Liverpool are reportedly preparing an offer worth around €115m for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. PSG are expected to reject that figure, with reports placing their required base fee near €150m before additional potential bonuses.

Barcola is said to be open to leaving after rejecting an early contract extension, while Liverpool want a marquee winger following Mohamed Salah’s departure. The gap remains substantial, with PSG potentially seeking a total package approaching €170m.

Real Sociedad, Marseille and Nayef Aguerd
Friday

Real Sociedad and Marseille have reached an initial agreement for Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd to return to the Spanish club on loan. The arrangement includes a financial fee and an option allowing Sociedad to purchase him later.

Aguerd has also attracted Gulf interest, including from Al-Sadd, but reportedly agreed to return to Sociedad after his previous successful loan spell. Europa League football and familiarity with the club helped push the 30-year-old toward the Basque side.

Arsenal, Newcastle United and Bruno Guimaraes
Friday

Bruno Guimaraes’ £75m move from Newcastle to Arsenal has reportedly been delayed by administrative issues despite the midfielder already training with Mikel Arteta’s squad. The transfer fee has been agreed and the remaining hold-up is described as procedural.

Guimaraes previously left Newcastle’s training camp, travelled to London and completed the steps around his medical after requesting the move. Arsenal are still expected to announce the transfer once the paperwork is resolved, with no sporting setback reported.

Liverpool, Barcelona and Ronald Araujo
Friday

Liverpool are set to sign Barcelona captain Ronald Araujo on a season-long loan that includes an option for a permanent transfer. The Uruguay defender is expected to join the squad this weekend after accepting Liverpool’s proposal for more playing time.

Liverpool moved for Araujo after Ibrahima Konate left for Real Madrid and several defenders entered preseason carrying injuries. His ability to play at centre-back or right-back gives Andoni Iraola experienced cover across a defence currently short of established options.

Holstein Kiel, Excelsior and Gyan de Regt
Friday

Holstein Kiel and Excelsior have reached a full agreement for winger Gyan de Regt in a transfer worth around €2m. The 22-year-old still needs to settle personal terms and complete a medical before the move becomes official.

De Regt joined Excelsior for free from Vitesse only a year ago, making the proposed fee one of the Rotterdam club’s biggest outgoing transfers. He played in Friday’s 4-0 win over Cambuur and is expected to continue his career in Germany.
