Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco and Maghnes Akliouche
Thursday

Paris Saint-Germain have agreed an improved €50m fee with Monaco for France winger Maghnes Akliouche. The 24-year-old travelled to Paris for a medical and is expected to sign a long-term contract running until June 2031.

Monaco rejected PSG’s opening €45m proposal before accepting the improved offer. Akliouche is being added to Luis Enrique’s attacking rotation this summer and could help cover Bradley Barcola’s possible departure amid strong transfer interest from Liverpool.

Racing Santander, Barcelona and Jorge Salinas
Thursday

Racing Santander have told Barcelona they must pay Jorge Salinas’ full €16m release clause after receiving a proposal near €6m during negotiations. The 19-year-old defender is a Barcelona target because he can play left-back or centre-back.

Sporting director Chema Aragon said Racing want to strengthen rather than lose important academy players and will not negotiate a discounted price. Barcelona therefore face a €10m valuation gap unless they increase their offer or activate the clause.

AC Milan, Galatasaray and Rafael Leao
Thursday

AC Milan have rejected Galatasaray’s first official €35m bid for Portugal winger Rafael Leao during summer transfer talks. The Turkish champions proposed a permanent transfer, but Milan value the 27-year-old at approximately €50m and refused the opening offer.

Galatasaray are expected to return with an improved proposal near €40m after receiving encouragement from Leao. The forward previously rejected Fenerbahce because of concerns about their project, leaving Galatasaray as the only active bidder described in the report.

Rodri, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona
Thursday

Real Madrid’s talks to sign Rodri have stalled over personal terms and the clubs’ differing valuations. Barcelona are monitoring the situation and could enter the race, while the Manchester City midfielder remains interested in returning to Spain this summer.

Madrid are considering one final attempt after Rodri expressed concerns about their offer and Jose Mourinho’s initial doubts. City want between €65m and €75m, while Barcelona have made no formal bid and still prioritise a centre-forward.

Brighton, Manchester United Women and Gabby George
Thursday

Brighton have completed the signing of versatile defender Gabby George from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee believed to be six figures. The 29-year-old leaves after three seasons and more than 50 appearances for United.

George wanted more regular playing time and joins a Brighton squad already strengthened by Lia Walti and Emilie Joramo. Manager Dario Vidosic highlighted her defensive versatility, technical quality, leadership and extensive Women’s Super League experience.

Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Yan Diomande
Thursday

Real Madrid and RB Leipzig have reached an agreement for Yan Diomande, with the Ivory Coast winger leaving Leipzig’s training camp to undergo a medical in Spain. The guaranteed transfer fee is reported at €125m.

Performance-related bonuses could increase the package to €140m, potentially making Diomande Madrid’s most expensive signing. The 19-year-old is expected to sign through 2031 after producing 12 goals and eight assists during his breakthrough Bundesliga season.

RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim and Fisnik Asllani
Thursday

Hoffenheim forward Fisnik Asllani is close to joining RB Leipzig and was scheduled to undergo a medical before signing a five-year contract. The proposed transfer is valued between €25m and €30m, according to the uploaded report.

Barcelona had considered the 23-year-old as an attacking option while pursuing Julian Alvarez, but Leipzig moved ahead. Barring an unexpected setback during the final formalities, Asllani will remain in the Bundesliga rather than pursue a move to Spain.

Al-Fateh, Al-Nassr and Nawaf Al-Aqidi
Thursday

Al-Fateh and Al-Nassr have reached a full summer transfer agreement for goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi after lengthy negotiations. The deal includes a cash payment, right-back Saeed Baatiyah, goalkeeper Abdulhadi Al-Alwan and a future sell-on percentage for Al-Nassr.

Al-Aqidi chose to leave after coach Ange Postecoglou could not guarantee him the starting position. The agreement prevents Al-Nassr from losing the Saudi international for nothing as he approached the final months of his contract.

Cardiff City, Lincoln City and Jack Moylan
Wednesday

Cardiff City have signed Republic of Ireland midfielder Jack Moylan from Championship rivals Lincoln City on a four-year contract. The 24-year-old scored 11 goals and supplied six assists as Lincoln won promotion and finished above Cardiff last season.

Moylan reunites with fellow Irishman Brian Barry-Murphy and becomes Cardiff’s second summer signing. His ability to operate centrally or from the left adds versatility before the Bluebirds begin their league campaign against Welsh rivals Wrexham.

Everton, Arsenal and Christian Norgaard
Wednesday

Everton have signed Denmark midfielder Christian Norgaard from Arsenal on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee, reportedly around £7m. The 32-year-old leaves after one season in north London, where he made 20 appearances during Arsenal’s title-winning campaign.

David Moyes wanted experienced leadership after the departures of Seamus Coleman and Idrissa Gueye, while James Garner will miss the season’s opening period after surgery. Norgaard brings 196 Brentford appearances and extensive Premier League experience into Everton’s midfield.
