Fisnik Asllani, Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim
9 June 2026

Borussia Dortmund have resumed contact over Hoffenheim attacker Fisnik Asllani, who is reportedly open to the move. The 23-year-old remains on Dortmund’s shortlist as they prepare for possible attacking changes this summer.

Dortmund are not expected to move unless a current forward leaves, with Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi’s futures affecting the plan. RB Leipzig are also interested, while Asllani’s release clause could reach €30 million for Champions League clubs.

Stephen Welsh, Swansea City, Celtic, Vitor Matos
8 June 2026

Stephen Welsh is poised to become Swansea City’s first summer signing as Vitor Matos looks to strengthen his defence. The Celtic centre-back spent last season on loan at Motherwell and has made 70 appearances for his parent club.

Swansea need more depth behind Ben Cabango and Cameron Burgess after last season’s defensive options thinned out. Welsh brings Championship-ready experience from loan spells and gives Matos an early piece for his back-line rebuild.

Savinho, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Roberto De Zerbi
8 June 2026

Tottenham are advancing talks to sign Savinho from Manchester City in a deal worth around £60 million. Spurs believe the winger wants the move and are working on the structure of an agreement with City.

City’s stance has softened after rejecting Tottenham’s interest last summer, with a sale now offering strong profit. Roberto De Zerbi wants attacking reinforcements after Spurs narrowly avoided relegation and started reshaping his squad.

Ewen Jaouen, Newcastle United, Reims, Eddie Howe
8 June 2026

Newcastle United are close to signing Reims goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen in a deal worth around £18.65 million. The 20-year-old is expected to travel for medical checks before becoming Newcastle’s first summer arrival.

Newcastle negotiated the fee below earlier £24 million suggestions as they target younger high-upside players. Jaouen is viewed as a long-term project rather than an immediate starter, with questions still around Nick Pope and James Trafford.

Elise Hughes, Crystal Palace, Wales
8 June 2026

Elise Hughes has left Crystal Palace just over a month after helping the club return to the Women’s Super League. The forward announced her departure while preparing with Wales for a key World Cup qualifier against Czech Republic.

Hughes spent four years at Palace, winning two promotions and a league trophy during her spell. She has not revealed her next club, leaving her future open before Wales’ decisive qualifier in Cardiff.

Olivier Giroud, Lille, Davide Ancelotti
8 June 2026

Olivier Giroud has agreed a one-year contract extension with Lille, keeping him in top-flight football into his 40s. The veteran striker will continue under new manager Davide Ancelotti after a productive season in France.

Giroud played 44 matches last season and scored 11 goals across all competitions, including key Europa League strikes. Lille believe his experience and dressing-room presence can support Ancelotti’s first major managerial project.

Bastien Meupiyou, Borussia Dortmund, FC Alverca, Wolves
8 June 2026

Borussia Dortmund have reportedly submitted an opening package worth up to €17 million for FC Alverca defender Bastien Meupiyou. The 20-year-old impressed in Portugal after leaving Wolves on loan following limited first-team chances.

Dortmund have tracked Meupiyou since January and see him as a left-footed centre-back prospect. Wolves may prefer cashing in through a sell-on clause after relegation, while Jorge Mendes is involved in the talks.

Alexia Putellas, London City Lionesses, Barcelona
8 June 2026

Alexia Putellas has reportedly agreed personal terms with London City Lionesses after leaving Barcelona. The two-time Ballon d’Or winner is moving closer to a Women’s Super League switch after ending her long spell with her childhood club.

Putellas rejected interest from clubs likely to become direct Champions League rivals for Barcelona, making London City a cleaner option. The move would give the newly promoted side a marquee signing and reshape attention around their WSL project.

Alexander Sorloth, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Dusan Vlahovic
8 June 2026

Juventus have reportedly identified Alexander Sorloth as their preferred replacement for Dusan Vlahovic. The Atletico Madrid striker is under contract until 2028, so the clubs still need to agree a transfer fee.

Juventus are planning for Vlahovic’s exit after contract talks collapsed, while Jonathan David and Lois Openda failed to solve their scoring problem. Sorloth’s strong record in Spain gives them a proven centre-forward option.

Curtis Jones, Inter Milan, Liverpool
7 June 2026

Inter Milan have reportedly submitted an offer for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, but the bid is currently below the Reds’ valuation. The 25-year-old has emerged as a Serie A target during Liverpool’s summer reset.

Liverpool are assessing their squad under Andoni Iraola and may need midfield decisions before the window fully accelerates. Inter’s opening move creates a live negotiation point, but the gap in valuation means no quick agreement is expected.
