Overview
- Tottenham has opened the summer aggressively, completing Sandro Tonali's reported £100m move and spending about €267m in total this window to quickly reshape Roberto De Zerbi's squad.
- Newcastle have countered major departures by signing youth, confirming 18-year-old Sean Steur from Ajax on a five-year deal for a fee that could reach €27m and adding other young recruits such as Bazoumana Touré and Ewen Jaouen.
- Bruno Guimarães is at the centre of an active saga with multiple outlets reporting he has agreed personal terms with Arsenal while Newcastle publicly insist he is not for sale, leaving the clubs to negotiate a possible transfer fee.
- Manchester United have accelerated midfield business as Andrey Santos reportedly passed a medical and will sign, Ederson is undergoing further medical checks before completion, and Karl Darlow is expected to join as goalkeeping cover.
- The World Cup timetable and a spate of record or near‑record fees are inflating asking prices and guaranteed demands, which is prompting quicker decisions, staged medicals and a shift toward replacing big sales with lower‑cost, younger signings.
