Here’s your quickfire roundup of the latest key developments in the summer transfer market:
Luka Modrić is set to join AC Milan after the Club World Cup. The Croatian captain will undergo a medical and complete the move following his final appearance for Real Madrid in the June tournament.
Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has confirmed that winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens missed out on a move to Chelsea due to differing valuations of the player.
Liverpool has shown interest in PSG starlet Bradley Barcola, who could be on the move this summer. Chelsea were also keen, but failed to reach a deal with PSG before the Club World Cup. They are expected to try again afterward.
Jack Grealish is likely to leave Manchester City this summer after being excluded from the club’s FIFA Club World Cup squad.
Justin Kluivert has hinted that Milos Kerkez, his teammate at Bournemouth, will “probably” join Liverpool. The Hungarian left-back is one of the Premier League champions’ top defensive targets. A verbal agreement is in place, with talks between the clubs entering the final stages.
Marseille has completed the signing of Angel Gomes from Lille on a free transfer. The English midfielder adds creativity to the French club’s midfield ranks.
Aston Villa have joined Tottenham and Newcastle in the race to sign Jadon Sancho, as the Manchester United winger looks to revive his career with a move away from Old Trafford.
Darwin Nunez has made it clear that he does not want to move to Saudi Arabia, and if he leaves Liverpool, he prefers to stay in Europe.
Viktor Gyökeres is frustrated with Sporting CP over their handling of his potential transfer. A prior agreement for an exit worth around €65 million plus add-ons has been overturned by club president Frederico Varandas, who is now demanding a higher fee following the departure of sporting director Hugo Viana. While the fee remains below his €100 million release clause, the situation has complicated negotiations. Manchester United and Arsenal are leading the race for the Swedish forward.
Franco Mastantuono has passed his medical examination and signed a contract with Real Madrid, which will run until 2031. The Argentine wonderkid will join the Spanish giants in August after representing River Plate at the Club World Cup.
Leroy Sané has agreed to join Galatasaray on a three-year deal after rejecting a contract extension at Bayern Munich. The German winger will leave on a free transfer.
