Transfer window is now open
Transfer news around top European football clubs

Liverpool is making a bold play with a £100m offer for Anthony Gordon. Arne Slot wants pace, flexibility, and flair, and Gordon fits the role.

The Reds aim to strengthen their title defense and keep their grip on the Premier League, while also eyeing Europe.

Arsenal are pushing on several fronts. They want Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, but Napoli’s €50m offer is causing trouble.

The Gunners are also in a midfield tussle with Manchester United for Lucien Agoumé of Sevilla. Agoumé looks like a Thomas Partey replacement, with strength and control to match.

Arsenal also dropped Rodrygo interest and now chase Brahim Díaz for €50m. They’re playing it smart by boosting their quality without draining the bank.

PSG are locking down Ousmane Dembélé. They’re doubling his salary and extending his deal till 2030 to fend off Chelsea and Liverpool.

Dembélé stays key in their attack, and PSG don’t want to lose firepower. They’ve shown their cards early, blocking any late bids.

Chelsea made a €35m bid for Lazio’s Mario Gila, but Lazio weren’t having it. They want more for the rising defender.

The Blues are clearly after defensive depth, but might need to up the offer to stay in the race.

Manchester City has a Jack Grealish puzzle to solve. No club has tabled a permanent deal yet.

Now, a loan move could be on the cards. City might see him as a less central figure next season. It’s a tough call.

In Turkey, Mourinho is cooking something real. He wants to reunite with Son Heung-min at Fenerbahçe and is ready to pay €30m.

Saudi clubs are also circling, so we might see a bidding war. Mourinho’s pull adds spice, and the history between him and Son could seal it.

United are juggling transfer hopes and headaches. They want Justin Kluivert, but Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso wants him too. It’s a close race.

United also have their eyes on Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP. The media says he’s not interested, but the player hasn’t closed the door. United might still sneak in if they make a serious offer.

Barcelona is plotting an attacking rebuild. Julián Alvarez and Nico Williams are on their list. With Lamine Yamal already shining, adding those two could make a deadly front three.

But the wallet’s tight. Before moving for Liverpool’s Luis Díaz, they need to offload one high earner. Balancing talent with finances remains their challenge.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, want to tie Thibaut Courtois down long-term. Talks kick off in July.

He remains key to their backline, and locking him down brings calm amid a window full of changes.

Europe’s top clubs are on the move. Some chase fresh legs; others secure their stars. Liverpool and Arsenal go hard, PSG hold tight, and Barça rebuilds with care.

The transfer window is a game of timing, guts, and smart plays.
