Summer 2025 is giving us one of the busiest transfer markets in recent years. Europe’s top clubs have opened their checkbooks and spared no expense to reinforce their squads for the upcoming season. Here are the 10 most significant transfers so far, plus some rumors that could give the football landscape an unexpected twist.
🔟 The Most Relevant Transfers of the Summer (So Far)
1. Florian Wirtz → Liverpool (£100–116m)
The Bayer Leverkusen prodigy has become the most expensive signing in Liverpool’s history. At just 22, Wirtz arrives as Arne Slot’s new creative force, seen by many as a statement of intent: the Reds want to return to the top of Europe.
2. Matheus Cunha → Manchester United (£62.5m)
The Brazilian striker leaves Wolves to lead United’s attack. Ruben Amorim needs goals and mobility, and Cunha promises both. It’s early days, but many already see him as the heir to the legendary “No. 7” shirt.
3. João Pedro → Chelsea (£55–60m)
João Pedro has surprised everyone with his performances at Brighton and now faces the challenge of shining in Maresca’s Chelsea. Could he be the missing piece to reignite the Blues?
4. Martín Zubimendi → Arsenal (£60m)
The Spanish midfielder was one of Mikel Arteta’s top targets, and he finally got his man. Zubimendi will bring tactical intelligence, distribution, and defensive solidity to an Arsenal side dreaming of the Premier League title.
5. Dean Huijsen → Real Madrid (£50m)
The young Dutch defender joins from Bournemouth after a breakout season. At just 20, Huijsen promises to be the future of Madrid’s backline. Many are already comparing him to Rüdiger – but with better ball distribution.
6. Tijjani Reijnders → Manchester City (£46–59m)
Guardiola continues to bet on technical midfielders. Reijnders, signed from Milan, arrives as a generational replacement with high expectations of adapting to City’s “positional play.”
7. Milos Kerkez → Liverpool (£40m)
The Hungarian left-back comes off a great season at Bournemouth. His pace and aggressiveness convinced Liverpool, who needed young blood on that flank.
8. Jeremie Frimpong → Liverpool (£29.5m)
Another full-back for Anfield! Frimpong, electric and attack-minded, will strongly compete for a starting spot. With him and Kerkez, Liverpool has modernized their defense.
9. Rayan Aït-Nouri → Manchester City (£31–36m)
One of the Premier League’s most technically gifted full-backs changes shirts but stays in the league. Guardiola sees him as the answer to City’s issues on the left. Aït-Nouri isn’t just attacking flair; he’s solid defensively as well.
10. Liam Delap → Chelsea (£30m)
After shining with Ipswich, Delap joins Chelsea as a bet for the future. The young English striker boasts power, instinct, and personality. Could he be the next Tammy Abraham?
🔍 Rumors Making Headlines…
🧨 Hugo Ekitiké → Liverpool (imminent)
According to English sources, Liverpool and the French striker already have a verbal agreement. Only Eintracht Frankfurt’s approval is missing. Reports suggest a €75–80m fee. Newcastle were also interested, but Ekitiké only wants Anfield.
🔴 Viktor Gyökeres → Arsenal
Sporting CP’s Swedish striker is one step away from the Emirates. Personal terms have been agreed, and Arteta wants him NOW. Only Sporting’s green light is needed. A new Haaland in London?
🧠 Eberechi Eze → Arsenal or Bayern
Crystal Palace’s jewel is on the radar of two giants. Arsenal want him for extra creativity, while Bayern have entered the race. The price is high – but so is the talent.
🇨🇴 Luis Díaz → Barcelona? Bayern?
Liverpool have set the Colombian winger’s price tag at around €80m. No official offers yet, but both Barça and Bayern have made inquiries. If the right bid arrives, Díaz could leave.
🟡 Roma Strengthening Plans
Roma are chasing Richard Rios (Palmeiras), Wesley (Flamengo), and Evan Ferguson (Brighton). Budget constraints make deals tricky, but fans are hopeful for good news.
