Overview
- Tottenham have made a major outlay this window, signing Sandro Tonali from Newcastle for a reported €108 million and spending heavily across multiple arrivals to remould Roberto De Zerbi’s squad.
- Newcastle have converted big sales into reinvestment by signing Ajax teenager Sean Steur and Hoffenheim winger Bazoumana Touré and pursuing World Cup breakout Johan Manzambi as they pivot toward younger talent.
- Bruno Guimaraes remains a live, contested story with reports that he has agreed personal terms with Arsenal while Newcastle insist the Brazil midfielder is not for sale.
- Manchester United are close to completing deals for Chelsea’s Andrey Santos—reports say he has passed a medical—and goalkeeper Karl Darlow, with Atalanta’s Ederson undergoing further medical checks before his move is finalised.
- The market is being reshaped by World Cup call‑ups, late medicals and rising demands for guaranteed fees, which are speeding decisions, inflating prices and pushing clubs to prioritise younger, lower‑cost prospects.
