Fulham, Real Madrid, Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios
Monday

Fulham have completed the permanent signings of Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios from Real Madrid. Both players signed five-year contracts through 2031, with options for another season, while Garcia’s reported transfer fee is around £34m.

Garcia reunites with manager Alvaro Arbeloa after scoring eight goals in 39 Madrid appearances last season. Palacios arrives as a highly rated attacking midfielder with limited senior experience, giving Fulham two young Spanish additions for their long-term rebuild.

Schalke, Edin Dzeko, Jesper Lindstrom and Napoli
Monday

Schalke have extended Edin Dzeko’s contract through 2027, but their proposed move for Napoli midfielder Jesper Lindstrom collapsed at the final stage. Reports said disagreements emerged after Napoli failed to maintain previously discussed verbal terms for the transfer.

The Lindstrom dispute centred on whether the loan would include an option or an obligation to buy. Dzeko is fully fit after a shoulder problem and will remain for Schalke’s Bundesliga campaign following their promotion last season.

Sassuolo, Juventus and Vasilije Adzic
Monday

Sassuolo have reached an agreement with Juventus to sign Montenegro talent Vasilije Adzic, moving ahead of Cagliari late in negotiations. The midfielder is set to join on loan with an option to buy and a Juventus buy-back clause.

The clubs finalised the remaining details after Sassuolo accelerated talks within 24 hours. Adzic made ten appearances and scored once last season, and the move is intended to provide regular playing time under manager Alberto Aquilani.

Newcastle United, Braga and Lukas Hornicek
Monday

Newcastle United have completed the £25.7m signing of Czech Republic goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek from Braga. The 24-year-old signed a five-year contract after Newcastle activated his release clause and joined the club’s training camp in Spain.

Hornicek arrives after keeping seven clean sheets during Braga’s Europa League semi-final run and ranking highly for passing among Portuguese top-flight goalkeepers. Newcastle identified a new first-choice keeper as a priority after conceding 55 league goals last season.

Manchester City, Lille and Ayyoub Bouaddi
Monday

Ayyoub Bouaddi has reportedly reached a full verbal agreement with Manchester City covering his salary, contract length and personal terms. Lille have acknowledged receiving official offers but insist none meets their valuation for the Morocco international midfielder.

Club negotiations remain unresolved, with Lille president Olivier Letang saying only a small number of teams can afford Bouaddi and indicating a price above €100m. City remain closest to a deal but have not secured Lille’s approval.

Chelsea, Strasbourg and Valentin Barco
Monday

Chelsea have completed the signing of Argentina international Valentin Barco from Strasbourg on a seven-year contract. The versatile 21-year-old becomes their sixth summer addition and will join the remainder of the club’s pre-season tour before the new campaign.

Barco developed at Boca Juniors before spells with Brighton and Strasbourg, where he rebuilt his career after a successful loan. His transfer becomes the 13th deal between Chelsea and Strasbourg since last season under their shared ownership structure.

Al-Nassr, Real Mallorca and Samu Costa
Monday

Portugal midfielder Samu Costa is travelling to Riyadh for a medical after reaching a complete agreement to join Al-Nassr from Real Mallorca. The player said the contract terms, financial package and additional clauses have all been settled.

Only the medical examination, paperwork and formal announcement remain before the transfer is completed. Costa has made 108 appearances for Mallorca and is expected to become Al-Nassr’s first signing of the summer window within the next 48 hours.

Newcastle United, Arsenal and Bruno Guimaraes
Monday

Newcastle United have rejected Arsenal’s opening offer for captain Bruno Guimaraes despite the midfielder’s reported desire to move to London. Arsenal are considering an improved bid as they attempt to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s midfield before the new season.

Guimaraes travelled to Newcastle’s Spanish camp intending to discuss his future and reportedly submit a transfer request. Newcastle remain determined to keep him, while the anticipated appointment of Matthias Jaissle has added urgency to resolving the captain’s position.

Moussa Diaby, Inter Milan and Al-Ittihad
Monday

Moussa Diaby has told Inter Milan that he wants to join the club and return to European football from Al-Ittihad. The France winger has contacted Inter officials directly while the two clubs conduct negotiations over a possible summer transfer.

Diaby views Inter’s Champions League project as his preferred next step and no longer plans to remain in Saudi Arabia. His position strengthens Inter’s negotiating leverage, but the deal still depends on reaching a financial agreement with Al-Ittihad.

Paris Saint-Germain, Parma and Zion Suzuki
Sunday

Paris Saint-Germain have submitted an official €33m offer to Parma for Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. The French champions now lead Juventus in the race, while Parma are prepared to advance negotiations and the player has received PSG’s proposal.

The move would further reshape PSG’s goalkeeping department after Lucas Chevalier and Matvey Safonov shared duties last season. Formal talks are progressing, although the uploaded report does not state that Parma or Suzuki have accepted the offer.
