The big spenders will be out in force again this summer, with Real Madrid looking to back new boss Xabi Alonso, Chelsea keen to improve again after securing Champions League qualification, and Manchester United desperate to reclaim some kind of success after a disastrous season that saw them finish just three places above the relegation zone in the Premier League.

The Red Devils have signed Matheus Cunha, with Man City also flexing their financial power to sign Tijani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Rayan Cherki.

Some big deals happened earlier than usual due to the Club World Cup and the deadline for participation in that tournament is now over, though the window remains open.

The biggest deal so far this summer saw Florian Wirtz complete a blockbuster transfer to Liverpool from Leverkusen.

Some questions that will hang over the transfer window this season:

  • Will Viktor Gyokeres leave Sporting CP?
  • Who will sign Victor Osimhen?
  • How much can Barcelona spend?
  • Will top players want to join Man Utd?
  • Will Arsenal sign a world-class striker?

Amorim and Rashford haven't spoke in months

There has been no contact between Marcus Rashford and Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim in months.

Midway through last season, Rashford was dropped from the United squad allegedly due to his performances in training and he subsequently joined Aston Villa on loan for six months.

Villa won't sign him permanently so he will return to United pre-season on Monday, with Barcelona and Bayern Munich monitoring his situation. (Chris Wheeler)

Barcelona to move on from Williams

Despite agreeing terms with Barcelona, Nico Williams has agreed to a lucrative contract extension with Athletic Club until 2030.

The Blaugrana will move on and press ahead with interest in Liverpool's Luis Diaz, according to Fabrizio Romano.

"Barcelona are planning new approach for Luis Diaz in the next days/weeks after Nico deal off," he said via X.

"Liverpool already closed doors to both Barca and FC Bayern in the recent weeks; it's not an easy one."

Arsenal could be set for huge windfall

Arsenal could be set for a huge transfer windfall as Gabriel Martinelli is a target for Al-Nassr.

It is no secret that Mikel Arteta wants to add a left winger to his ranks this summer, with Rodrygo and Nico Williams the primary targets. Should a new winger be signed, Martinelli will drop down the pecking order and Al-Nassr want to take advantage of that by proposing a switch to the Saudi Pro League.

The Brazilian has an Estimated Transfer Value of €63.7 million. (GiveMeSport)

Asensio suitors

Marco Asensio won't be short of options this summer.

The Spaniard spent last season on loan at Aston Villa from Paris Saint-Germain and will likely leave the Champions League winners on a permanent basis in this transfer window.

Fenerbahce have already bid €15 million, but Asensio is waiting to see if interest from Milan and Villarreal develops. (L'Equipe)

Newcastle on verge of Elanga signing

Newcastle have made an improved bid of £55 million (€63 million) for Anthony Elanga.

So far, Nottingham Forest have knocked back all approaches for their winger, but that new bid is probably going to be accepted.

Eddie Howe is keen to add a new winger to his ranks this summer. (Mail)
