We analyze the situation of some teams.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premier League<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liverpool<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Arrivals:<\/b> Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen, \u00a3100m); Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth, \u00a340m); Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen, \u00a329.5m); Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia, \u00a329m); \u00c1rmin P\u00e9csi (Puskas Akademia, unconfirmed)<br>\n<b>Departures:<\/b> Trent Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid, \u00a310m); Caoimh\u00edn Kelleher (Brentford, \u00a318m); Nat Phillips (West Brom, \u00a33m); Vitezslav Jaros (Ajax, loan)\n\nLiverpool, the current Premier League champion, has had an impressive start in the market, signing Frimpong, Wirtz, and Kerkez. They have invested over \u00a3170 million, after spending a modest amount in the previous two transfer windows.\n\nThe priority now is to reinforce the central defense. The arrival of Jarell Quansah from Leverkusen is expected. With Ibrahima Konat\u00e9&#8217;s contract nearing its end and Joe Gomez&#8217;s injury problems, Liverpool is looking for reinforcements, including Marc Gu\u00e9hi from Crystal Palace.\n\nArne Slot&#8217;s team is also looking for a center forward, but they will wait for the right options to arise.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0626%2Fdm_250626_COM_SOC_Analysis_Is_NC3B8rgaard_the_perfect_replacement_for_Partey_at_Arsenal3F__GLOBAL_2025%2D06%2D26%2Fdm_250626_COM_SOC_Analysis_Is_NC3B8rgaard_the_perfect_replacement_for_Partey_at_Arsenal3F__GLOBAL_2025%2D06%2D26.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>An\u00e1lisis sobre si N\u00f8rgaard es el reemplazo ideal para Partey en el Arsenal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arsenal<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Arrivals:<\/b> None<br>\n<b>Departures:<\/b> Nuno Tavares (Lazio, not confirmed); Marquinhos (Cruzeiro, not confirmed); Jorginho (Flamengo, free); Kieran Tierney (Celtic, free)\n\nAn imminent transfer activity is expected for Arsenal, with the possible arrival of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mart\u00edn Zubimendi and Christian N\u00f8rgaard to address specific needs in the squad. Negotiations continue for Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia. However, the two most obvious needs have not yet been resolved: the incorporation of a striker and a winger.\n\nBenjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig was the primary target for months, although Viktor Gy\u00f6keres from Sporting CP is also under consideration. The valuations of both players are high. Arsenal has also shown interest in Nico Williams from Athletic Club, but his preference for Barcelona has led the &#8216;Gunners&#8217; to intensify their interest in Rodrygo from Real Madrid, although the player will have to force his departure.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Arrivals:<\/b> Tijjani Reijnders (AC Milan, \u00a346.3m); Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolves, \u00a336.3m); Rayan Cherki (Lyon, \u00a334m); Marcus Bettinelli (Chelsea, not confirmed)<br>\n<b>Departures:<\/b> Jacob Wright (Norwich, not confirmed); Kevin De Bruyne (Napoli, free); Scott Carson (released)\n\nManchester City has already made most of its moves, but does not rule out more signings before the market closes. The priority is to facilitate the departures of Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish and Kalvin Phillips. James McAtee could also leave depending on the offers.\n\nThe area to be reinforced is the right flank. Walker is not in Pep Guardiola&#8217;s plans, leaving Rico Lewis as the only option, with Matheus Nunes, Manuel Akanji and Abdukodir Khusanov as possible alternatives. There is interest in Andrea Cambiaso from Juventus and Tino Livramento from Newcastle. In addition, there is uncertainty about Ederson&#8217;s future.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newcastle United<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Arrivals:<\/b> Antonio Cordero (M\u00e1laga, free)<br>\n<b>Departures:<\/b> Lloyd Kelly (Juventus, \u00a315m); Jamal Lewis (released)\n\nNewcastle&#8217;s priority is to secure the contract renewal of Alexander Isak to prevent his departure. Liverpool and Arsenal have shown interest in the Swedish striker. The signings have been slow.\n\nProgress is being made on the signing of James Trafford from Burnley, but there is still no agreement. An offer of \u00a345 million for Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest was rejected. Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth is another possible target.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0626%2Fdm_250626_COM_SOC_Analysis_Why_a_move_for_Jamie_Gi571%2Fdm_250626_COM_SOC_Analysis_Why_a_move_for_Jamie_Gi571.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>An\u00e1lisis sobre la posible llegada de Jamie Gittens al Chelsea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chelsea<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Arrivals:<\/b> Liam Delap (Ipswich, \u00a330m); Est\u00eav\u00e3o (Palmeiras, \u00a329.1m); D\u00e1rio Essugo (Sporting, \u00a317m); Mamadou Sarr (Strasbourg, unconfirmed)<br>\n<b>Departures:<\/b> Bashir Humphreys (Burnley, unconfirmed); Marcus Bettinelli (Manchester City, unconfirmed)\n\nChelsea have closed a \u00a360 million deal with Borussia Dortmund for Jamie Gittens. In addition, they will look for more wingers. Despite the arrival of Liam Delap, they have also agreed a signing for \u00a355 million plus add-ons to sign Jo\u00e3o Pedro from Brighton.\n\nMorgan Rogers from Aston Villa has been considered as an option for the midfield. Although a deal was not finalized, the interest in Mike Maignan from AC Milan suggests that they could sign another goalkeeper.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester United<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Ins:<\/b> Matheus Cunha (Wolves, \u00a362.5m)<br>\n<b>Outs:<\/b> Christian Eriksen (released); Jonny Evans (released); Victor Lindel\u00f6f (released)\n\nManchester United are close to closing a \u00a365 million deal for Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, their priority. Matheus Cunha has already arrived, but they are still looking for another offensive player, including Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. They have also been offered Christopher Nkunku, who wants to leave Chelsea.\n\nThe United&#8217;s ability to strengthen will depend on player departures. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, and Casemiro are available, but their contracts and salaries complicate their exits. If they can increase their budget with sales, they could sign a midfielder like Ederson from Atalanta or Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Arrivals:<\/b> Mathys Tel (Bayern Munich, \u00a329.8m); Kevin Danso (Lens, \u00a321m); Luka Vuskovic (Hajduk Split, not confirmed)<br>\n<b>Departures:<\/b> Pierre-Emile H\u00f8jbjerg (Marseille, \u00a317m); Fraser Forster (released); Sergio Reguil\u00f3n (released); Alfie Whiteman (released)\n\nThe Spurs, after the arrival of Thomas Frank as coach, must focus on the market. A central midfielder is a priority, and the interest in Mbeumo suggests they are looking for a winger. Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace is a target, but Jonathan David is not, despite being available.\n\nThe club also faces the challenge of retaining Cristian Romero, with Atletico Madrid interested. There could be an important decision if interest resurfaces for Son Heung-Min from Saudi Arabia, who turns 33 in July and has one more year on his contract.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2025%2F0624%2Fdm_250624_Marcotti_unsure_if_Nico_Williams_should_be_Barcelonas_priority%2Fdm_250624_Marcotti_unsure_if_Nico_Williams_should_be_Barcelonas_priority.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Gab Marcotti analiza si Nico Williams deber\u00eda ser la prioridad del Barcelona.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barcelona<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Arrivals:<\/b> Joan Garc\u00eda (Espanyol, \u20ac25m)<br>\n<b>Departures:<\/b> \u00c1lex Valle (Como, \u20ac6m); Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet (Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid, free)\n\nBarcelona, after signing Joan Garc\u00eda and possibly Nico Williams, is limited by LaLiga&#8217;s salary cap. Following the departure of Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet and Ansu Fati, several more players are expected to leave the club, although they will not generate significant revenue.\n\nDepending on the departures, more signings could arrive. The arrival of Marcus Rashford is still a possibility, as is that of the young Roony Bardghji. Reinforcing the full-backs is also being considered.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Signings:<\/b> Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth, \u20ac62.5m); Franco Mastantuono (River Plate, \u20ac45m); Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool, \u20ac12m)<br>\n<b>Departures:<\/b> Luka Modric (released); Lucas V\u00e1zquez (released); Jes\u00fas Vallejo (released)\n\nReal Madrid has been active in the market, signing Huijsen and Alexander-Arnold. They have also agreed to the arrival of Mastantuono. However, they are still looking for a left-back, and the arrival of a midfielder is expected. The future of Rodrygo and the renewal of Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior must also be resolved.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/h2>\n\n\n<b>Signings:<\/b> Juan Musso (Atalanta, \u20ac3m); Cl\u00e9ment Lenglet (Barcelona, free)","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The summer transfer market this year has particularities due to the FIFA Club World Cup, but international movements will be officialized from July 1 in the main European leagues such as the English Premier League, the German Bundesliga, the French Ligue 1, the Spanish LaLiga and the Italian Serie A.
