Nico Paz (Como)
August 2025
Tottenham raised their bid to €50m for Nico Paz after missing out on Eberechi Eze. With James Maddison sidelined, Spurs are pushing for creativity in midfield, though Como value Paz closer to €70m. Spurs’ urgency to find a playmaker has intensified, but no agreement has been reached with Como or Paz himself. Tottenham’s failed Eze chase and Maddison’s injury leave them scrambling late in the window.
Antony (Manchester United)
August 2025
Real Betis will make a fresh bid for Antony within 24 hours after United rejected an earlier loan proposal. The £85m signing has been exiled under Amorim and faces uncertainty with the deadline looming. Antony enjoyed a strong Betis loan last season but is stuck in Amorim’s “bomb squad” at United. Betis are pressing for a permanent deal, while United weigh recovering a transfer fee for one of their costliest flops.
Gio Reyna (Borussia Monchengladbach)
August 2025
Gio Reyna confirmed his €7m switch from Dortmund to Gladbach with an emotional social media message. The 22-year-old thanked staff, teammates, and fans, reflecting on his six years at BVB and achievements like the DFB-Pokal win. Reyna’s farewell emphasised personal and professional growth, recalling his debut, key moments, and support from fans. Despite leaving for rivals, he pledged Dortmund will always hold a special place in his heart as he begins a new chapter.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
August 2025
Saudi champions Al-Ittihad are preparing a massive offer to lure Bruno Fernandes, reportedly worth £33m annually. United boss Ruben Amorim is reluctant to sanction an exit, with Fernandes having already turned down Al-Hilal earlier this summer. Fernandes has met with Saudi representatives, but his loyalty to United remains under scrutiny amid speculation. With the window nearing closure, Amorim must decide whether to cash in or resist an aggressive push from the Pro League.
Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United)
August 2025
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim praised £74m signing Benjamin Sesko, calling him better than expected and predicting he will lead the line for years. Sesko debuted against Arsenal, while Rasmus Hojlund was omitted from the squad. Amorim’s comments highlight Sesko’s immediate impact but further cloud Hojlund’s future. The Dane, who scored four league goals last season, insists he will fight for his place, though Napoli and AC Milan are monitoring him as a potential signing.
Georginio Wijnaldum (ex-Liverpool/Newcastle)
August 2025
Georginio Wijnaldum has refused to be drawn into the heated Alexander Isak saga as the striker pushes for a Liverpool move. Isak’s stand-off has become the transfer window’s biggest talking point after Newcastle rejected a £110m bid. Wijnaldum, reminded of his 2016 switch from Newcastle to Liverpool, reiterated he never forced his exit and expressed displeasure at comparisons. Isak’s saga rumbles on, with accusations of “broken promises” and Newcastle resisting Anfield’s advances.
Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)
August 2025
Pep Guardiola may have hinted at departures with Ilkay Gundogan and Manuel Akanji missing from City’s squad to face Tottenham, while Ederson remained benched amid Galatasaray talks and Savinho sat out injured. Squad trimming appears imminent. Guardiola previously warned he’d leave if City’s squad grew too large. Following heavy spending, he is now open to fringe exits, potentially sanctioning moves for Gundogan, Akanji, and Ederson as the club looks to streamline depth before deadline day.
Claudio Echeverri (Bayer Leverkusen)
August 2025
Bayer Leverkusen coach Erik ten Hag praised Claudio Echeverri after signing him on loan from Manchester City. The Argentine wonderkid could debut on Saturday as Leverkusen rebuild following Florian Wirtz’s record move to Liverpool. Echeverri, signed without a buy clause, was described by Ten Hag as “born with the ball at his feet.” City want him to develop in the Bundesliga, and his move attracted interest from Roma, Girona, and Dortmund before Leverkusen won the race.
Tyler Dibling (Southampton)
August 2025
Everton are set to sign Tyler Dibling after Southampton accepted a new offer. The winger was one of few positives in the Saints’ poor campaign last season, scoring twice in 33 Premier League appearances. Southampton rejected two earlier bids but agreed after adding a 20% sell-on clause. Tottenham and Newcastle tracked the 20-year-old, but Everton persisted and are now finalizing the move for their key summer attacking target.
Savinho (Manchester City)
August 2025
Tottenham are readying a €70m-plus bid for Manchester City’s Savinho after missing out on Eberechi Eze. Spurs are determined to sign the Brazilian winger, despite City blocking every approach during the past 10 days of negotiations. Spurs manager Thomas Frank remains desperate for reinforcements following injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Guardiola confirmed Savinho will miss the weekend clash with Spurs due to fitness, but City still resist selling him as Frank pushes for a breakthrough.
