The special transfer window has opened temporarily until June 10th, allowing clubs to sign players ahead of the Club World Cup. Major European powerhouses and teams across the continent are already strategizing for the upcoming season. Clubs are tirelessly working behind the scenes to identify potential targets and evaluate their budgets.
Managers are constantly assessing their squads, and sporting directors along with recruitment staff are meticulously scanning the market for potential deals. As summer approaches, a plethora of players will become available, offering clubs more financial freedom compared to the stringent restrictions of financial fair play rules during the regular season. The transfer rumour mill is gaining momentum, and we’ve compiled some of the most significant transfer stories currently circulating.
Today’s Biggest Transfer Stories
Galatasaray has initiated discussions about signing Victor Osimhen on a permanent basis. The Nigerian international, who had been on the verge of joining Al-Hilal, now finds himself reconsidering his options as the Saudi club struggles to come to terms with Osimhen. With Napoli set to cash in on the prolific striker, who is entering the last year of his contract, a return to Galatasaray seems increasingly likely.
Real Madrid appears to be closing in on a deal for River Plate’s rising star Franco Mastantuono. Reports indicate that the Spanish giants are prepared to pay around €45 million for the 17-year-old talent, outbidding notable competitors like Chelsea and PSG.
On the flip side, it seems that one player who may depart Madrid this summer is Rodrygo. The Brazilian winger is reportedly unhappy with his situation at the Santiago Bernabeu, opening the door for Arsenal to make a move for him. The Gunners are keen to bolster their attacking lineup and have also been linked with Aston Villa’s promising talent Morgan Rogers.
