Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign Colombian teenager Samuel Martinez from Atletico Nacional. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has travelled to Merseyside for final formalities, with the fee reported to be around £750,000.

Martinez is expected to remain with Atletico Nacional for another season before joining Liverpool next summer. The structure lets the club guide his development while keeping him in familiar surroundings for the next 12 months.

Tottenham Close Savinho Deal

Tottenham are reportedly closing in on a £65m move for Manchester City winger Savinho. The Brazil international has been a long-term Spurs target as Roberto De Zerbi continues a major rebuild after last season’s poor league finish.

Savinho scored only one Premier League goal last season, but Tottenham believe he can become an important wide option. City are reportedly exploring replacements, while Spurs have already spent heavily in the summer window.

Arsenal Agree Upson Switch

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign 18-year-old Tottenham defender Elijah Upson on a free transfer. The centre-back rejected a new Spurs contract and is set to join Mikel Arteta’s long-term project across north London.

Upson’s route at Tottenham became harder after defensive signings and senior competition, while Arsenal’s academy pathway helped attract him. The move adds another rivalry edge to Arsenal’s busy summer of youth and first-team recruitment.

Villa Complete Manzambi Record Deal

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Switzerland midfielder Johan Manzambi from Freiburg for a club-record fee of just over £50m. The 20-year-old joins after a breakout season and strong World Cup, where Switzerland reached the quarter-finals.

Villa moved quickly after Newcastle had been close to a deal, with Manzambi preferring Villa Park. He strengthens Unai Emery’s midfield after Youri Tielemans joined Manchester United and Amadou Onana suffered a serious World Cup knee injury.

Iheanacho Leaves Celtic for Bursaspor

Kelechi Iheanacho has rejected a new Celtic contract and joined Turkish second-tier side Bursaspor. The Nigeria striker leaves after helping Celtic win a domestic double during an injury-hit season in Scotland.

Celtic wanted to keep Iheanacho, who scored nine goals last season, but Bursaspor completed the move and unveiled him in their colours. On the same day, defender Maik Nawrocki left Celtic for Ligue 1 side Lens.

Leeds Complete Muharemovic Signing

Leeds United have signed Bosnia-Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo for £34.1m. The 23-year-old has agreed a five-year contract at Elland Road and becomes Leeds’ second summer signing after Harry Wilson.

Muharemovic replaces Pascal Struijk, who joined Brighton in June, and adds World Cup experience after featuring three times for Bosnia-Herzegovina. Juventus are reportedly due half the fee because of a clause from his Sassuolo sale.

Ederson Extends After United Collapse

Brazil midfielder Ederson has signed a contract extension with Atalanta after his proposed Manchester United move collapsed. United had agreed a £35m fee, but the transfer fell apart after medical checks raised concerns.

Ederson’s World Cup call-up delayed his planned medical, and further tests after Brazil’s last-16 exit led United to withdraw. His Atalanta extension ends any immediate revival of the deal, with United already adding new midfielders.

Rashford Exit Clause Expires

Marcus Rashford’s £40m Manchester United exit clause has expired after the forward rejected several transfer proposals. Any club now interested in signing the 28-year-old must negotiate directly with United rather than trigger the fixed clause.

Rashford remains under contract until 2028 but has not played for United since December 2024. Barcelona declined a permanent option after his loan, leaving his future unresolved while United assess fresh approaches this summer.

Cascarino Makes West Ham Move Permanent

West Ham have signed France defender Estelle Cascarino permanently after her initial six-month loan spell. The 29-year-old has agreed a three-year contract after helping the club move off the bottom and secure WSL survival.

Cascarino joined from Juventus, where she won league and cup honours, and said West Ham quickly felt like home. Manager Rita Guarino called her experience and quality crucial as the club tries to progress.

Arsenal Linked With Misa Rodriguez

Arsenal are being heavily linked with Spain goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez after her Real Madrid departure. The 26-year-old left Madrid in June after making a club-record 215 appearances across six seasons with Las Blancas.

Arsenal already have Daphne van Domselaar and Anneke Borbe, but need depth after Manuela Zinsberger’s ACL injury and Barbora Votikova’s loan exit. A move for Misa would add proven international and Champions League experience.
