This wasn't an easy decision. My time in South Korea has been unbelievable -- the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top-class. The love, support and the appreciation you have shown towards me for these last 2 years has been truly amazing.
Strasbourg and Chelsea are owned by the same organisation, BlueCo, and that could give Chelsea an advantage in the transfer race. It will be interesting to see if they can beat Atletico to his signature. Meanwhile, Diego Simeone has already informed the Atletico Madrid hierarchy that he wants to sign the 23-year-old. He believes that the Argentine forward could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
The deal will see Toronto pay Norwich a fee of $22 million, which could rise to $27 million if certain incentives are met. Sargent traveled to Toronto to complete his medical Friday. The fee currently ranks in the top five that an MLS side has ever paid for an incoming transfer. The highest-ever fee is believed to be the $26m that LAFC paid for Son Heung-Min last summer, which the Sargent move will eclipse if all the incentives are reached.
The 24-year-old defender is currently on loan at Lens, and he has done quite well for them. Newcastle scouted him in action recently, as per TEAMtalk, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an option to sign him at the end of the season. The French outfit is also interested in making the move permanent, and they have an option to do so. It remains to be seen where the 24-year-old ends up.
Chelsea have been able to welcome their summer signing from Sporting CP ahead of schedule, but the early union isn't the result of happy circumstances. The Blues confirmed the signing of Portuguese winger Geovany Quenda from Sporting in March 2025, with the 18-year-old slated to leave the Lisbon club for London in the summer of this year. But the teenager has been spending time at Chelsea's Cobham training centre before the move, according to BBC Sport reporter Nizaar Kinsella.
Manchester United are 'in talks' over a transfer for the 18-year-old, who has been an incredibly rare bright spot for Wolves in a dismal Premier League season. The Portugal-born England Under-18 international made his first Premier League start between Christmas and New Year, scoring his first senior goal in an excellent individual performance in Wolves' win against West Ham United, their only maximum of the season.
According to a report via TEAMtalk, they are preparing to sign the Athletic Club Bilbao attacker in a big-money deal. He has a 83 million release clause in his contract, and Liverpool would be prepared to pay it to secure his signature. Williams has 4 goals and 6 assists this season. It is no secret that they need more quality on the flanks. They need someone who will add raw pace and flair to the attacking unit.
It is for good reason that Arteta rates one of his more recent signings so highly. Zubimendi has been justifying his manager's comments since signing from boyhood club Real Sociedad in July 2025. The 27-year-old has played the most minutes of any of Arsenal's outfield players and has been chipping in with goals too. And that goal return may have come as a surprise, with Zubimendi signed primarily as a defensive midfielder but now having scored six times in 34 appearances - the most he has registered during any campaign in his career.
Konate has rarely let Liverpool down since joining them from RB Leipzig back in 2021, and he could have a key role for their future as he's still only 26 years of age. That means he's arguably yet to even reach his peak, and he could have a fair few years left ahead of him to replace Virgil van Dijk as the experienced head in this LFC side.
It's been a turbulent few weeks at Crystal Palace, to say the least. Not only has Oliver Glasner announced that he will leave the club this summer, and their former captain, Marc Guehi, has left to join Manchester City, but their headline striker, Jean-Philippe Mateta, has also made his desire to depart clear. With Premier League games coming thick and fast, there have been more than a few headaches at Selhurst Park.
I believe there were several short circuits regarding Mateta. I tend to believe and I think, and I'm also quite convinced, that Milan, like other clubs that negotiated with Mateta, were unaware of the problem. Also because I can tell you that up until a few hours before the end of the transfer window, this problem was initially denied by people close to Mateta's entourage and then downplayed. Evidently, then, there was something that went wrong in Mateta's management. I think on everyone's part.
Speaking to the media after the game, Dro claimed PSG manager Luis Enrique was a key reason for him to make the switch and claimed that Paris was the best place for him, with his statement being a dig at Barcelona. "Luis Enrique is an incredible manager. Everyone told me he was an incredible manager, and that's one of the reasons I signed here. He has a lot of faith in young players," he said, taking a subtle swipe at Flick.
Arsenal are looking to sign a complete forward who will add creativity and goals to the team. On the other hand, Chelsea are looking for someone who can lead the line for them and score goals consistently. Chelsea are reportedly willing to pay around 90 million in order to sign this South American. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official offer in the coming months. Alvarez has played in the Premier League with Manchester City in the past and he knows the league well. He should be able to adapt quickly and make an immediate impact.
Yeah, look, I'm sure there will be further interest in Nicolas Raskin come the summer transfer window. He will just have one year left on his contract at Rangers and if there's no new deal agreed, Rangers might be forced into cashing in on Raskin. They won't want to risk him running down his contract and potentially leaving on a free transfer.
Barcelona want to sign Bernardo Silva in the summer of 2026, according to Sports Boom. Silva is out of contract at Manchester City at the end of the season, and last season's La Liga champions, Barcelona, are keen on snapping up his services on a free transfer thereafter. However, Barcelona are not the only club that are interested in a bargain deal for Silva.
According to iNews, Ronaldo could leave for 43m, the value of his release clause with Al Nassr, with a return to Sporting Lisbon looking a genuine possibility. Another of Ronaldo's former clubs, Manchester United, are not currently looking to re-sign the Portugal international, however. Cristiano Ronaldo transfer situation explained by sources The report from iNews quotes Saudi sources as sounding relaxed about the Ronaldo situation, as other big names could be targeted in this summer's transfer window.
Chelsea are interested in signing the Nottingham Forest defender Murillo, and they will face competition from Manchester United. According to a report from Fichajes, both clubs are keen on the 23-year-old Brazilian defender, and he is certainly ready for the next step.
James is a player whose quality, vision, and experience at the highest levels of the game are unquestioned. We're excited to add his creativity and football intelligence to our group. At the same time, this move is about collective strength -- not about putting everything on one individual,
