As the European summer transfer window gains momentum, several high-profile moves are unfolding across top leagues, with Premier League and Bundesliga clubs leading the charge.
Newcastle United Near Trafford Signing
Newcastle United are finalising a deal for Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, with transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reporting that only minor details remain. The agreement is described as “almost complete,” and the Magpies are expected to confirm the transfer shortly. Trafford’s arrival would bolster Newcastle’s goalkeeping options ahead of the new campaign.
Leverkusen Seal Deal for Tillman
Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen have secured the services of U.S. midfielder Malik Tillman in a deal reportedly worth between €35 and €40 million. According to Romano, the player has signed a long-term contract, while Bayern Munich retain a buy-back clause. The move adds depth to Leverkusen’s midfield as they prepare to defend their domestic crown and compete in the Champions League.
United Secure Future Star Ngwashi
In youth development news, Manchester United have tied down one of their top academy prospects, 16-year-old Jayden Ngwashi, on a new four-year contract. Despite interest from clubs across England and Europe, Ngwashi has opted to remain at Old Trafford, committing to the Red Devils’ long-term project.
Partey Departs Arsenal
Ghana international Thomas Partey has officially left Arsenal following the expiration of his contract. His departure had been anticipated for over a week. Arsenal are reportedly eyeing Brentford’s Christian Nørgaard as a replacement, with negotiations advancing between the two London clubs.
Fenerbahçe Push for Durán Deal
Turkish giants Fenerbahçe are closing in on a deal for Aston Villa striker Jhon Durán. Talks between both clubs intensified over the weekend, and Romano suggests the agreement is nearing completion. The Colombian forward had been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr, but Fenerbahçe now appear to be in pole position.
Managerial Overhaul at Al Nassr
Meanwhile, Al Nassr are set for major structural changes, with former Fenerbahçe and Benfica coach Jorge Jesus expected to take over managerial duties. A new management team is also expected to be announced as the club initiates what insiders have described as a full-scale “revolution” ahead of the new Saudi Pro League season.
