The 2026 summer transfer window is officially open and deals are happening left, right and centre across Europe.

With the World Cup having come to a close, clubs are now accelerating their transfer plans ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Tottenham Hotspur have raced out of the traps this summer, backing manager Roberto De Zerbi with €269 million worth of talent.

Jan Paul van Hecke (€61m), Sandro Tonali (€108m) and Mateus Fernandes (€99m) have joined Spurs for big fees, while Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka have arrived on free transfers.

Alongside Santos, Man Utd have signed Youri Tielemans (€41m) and Karl Darlow (free transfer) ahead of their first full season under manager Michael Carrick.

Manchester City meanwhile have captured Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for €136m, in addition to the signings of Mathys Detourbet (€25m) and Jeremy Monga (€14.1m).
