Manchester United, Leeds United and Karl Darlow
Tuesday

Manchester United have signed goalkeeper Karl Darlow on a free transfer after his Leeds contract expired. The 35-year-old Wales international has agreed a two-year deal, with an option to extend for a further season.

Darlow is expected to provide cover for Senne Lammens and could feature during pre-season while Belgium’s World Cup players rest. His arrival may also push Altay Bayindir closer to leaving Old Trafford this summer.

Brighton, Tottenham and Luka Vuskovic
Tuesday

Brighton have signed Croatia defender Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham for a club-record £46m fee. The 19-year-old has agreed a five-year contract, with an option for another season, and the final package could rise to £50m.

Vuskovic replaces Jan Paul van Hecke, who has moved the other way to Tottenham for £52m. Brighton had two bids rejected before completing the deal, giving Fabian Hurzeler another highly rated young defender for next season.

Fenerbahce, Marseille and Mason Greenwood
Tuesday

Fenerbahce have reportedly agreed a €42m package with Marseille to sign Mason Greenwood. The former Manchester United forward is set to sign a four-year deal in Turkey after choosing Fenerbahce over Saudi interest and other European options.

The fee includes €40m fixed plus €2m in add-ons, making it a major sale for Marseille during their cost-cutting push. Greenwood’s move also continues Fenerbahce’s aggressive summer recruitment under their current sporting project.

New England Revolution, Lyon and Matt Turner
Monday

New England Revolution have extended Matt Turner’s loan from Lyon through the end of 2026. The MLS club also hold an option to extend the deal into 2027 and then buy the USMNT goalkeeper outright.

Turner returned to New England on loan last August and reclaimed the starting role after spells with Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Lyon. The agreement keeps a 55-cap international in MLS through the next cycle.

Barcelona, LDU Quito and Josue Caicedo
Monday

Barcelona have confirmed the signing of Ecuadorian teenager Josue Caicedo on an initial loan from LDU Quito. The 18-year-old left-back will join Barca Atletic for the 2026-27 season, with an option to buy included in the deal.

The move strengthens Juliano Belletti’s reserve squad and continues Barcelona’s push into South American youth recruitment. Caicedo is described as an attacking full-back with physical power, explosive pace and versatility on the left side long term.

Paris Saint-Germain, Aston Villa and Lucas Digne
Monday

Paris Saint-Germain have agreed a deal to bring Lucas Digne back from Aston Villa by triggering his £10m release clause. The 32-year-old France defender has already agreed personal terms and is set to sign for three years.

Digne will provide experienced cover for Nuno Mendes under Luis Enrique, while Villa can free funds during a tight financial window. The move also fits PSG’s need for defensive depth after their latest European success.

Manchester United, Aston Villa and Youri Tielemans
Monday

Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans and are set to trigger his £35m release clause. ESPN sources say the Belgian has indicated he wants the chance to move to Old Trafford.

Tielemans would join Andrey Santos in United’s midfield rebuild, while their move for Atalanta’s Ederson has stalled. Villa want to keep him but face pressure after Amadou Onana’s knee injury and growing midfield uncertainty now.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Khiara Keating
Monday

Liverpool have signed England goalkeeper Khiara Keating on a three-year deal after her Manchester City contract expired. The 22-year-old reunites with manager Gareth Taylor, who previously gave her a major platform and WSL breakthrough at City.

Keating rejected a City extension amid Liverpool interest and wants regular WSL football before next year’s Women’s World Cup. She becomes Liverpool’s fourth summer signing after Jennifer Falk’s loan ended without a permanent deal this summer.

Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Johan Manzambi
Sunday after Switzerland’s World Cup exit

Aston Villa are finalising a move for Freiburg midfielder Johan Manzambi, hijacking a deal Newcastle had previously agreed with the German club. The 20-year-old Switzerland international is reportedly favouring Villa Park after delaying his decision until his World Cup campaign ended.

Villa accelerated after Amadou Onana suffered a knee ligament injury with Belgium, while Champions League football appears to have shifted the player’s preference. Newcastle held talks with Freiburg and Manzambi’s camp, but now risk missing another major summer target.

Chelsea and Alejandro Garnacho
Saturday

Chelsea are prioritising a permanent exit for Alejandro Garnacho after the winger did not report for pre-season training. ESPN sources say the club want €50m for the former Manchester United attacker, who wants regular first-team football.

Garnacho joined Chelsea last summer for £40m but started only 22 matches, scoring eight goals and assisting four. Clubs in the Premier League, Serie A and Saudi Pro League have shown interest, with progress expected within two weeks.
