Transfer news LIVE!
Welcome to the most dramatic summer transfer window in history, with both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on the move as speculation surrounds more of the top players in world football.
Messi leaving Barcelona for PSG looked like the story of the summer... but Ronaldo is rejoining Manchester United in a sensational deal.
Man City had looked favourites to sign Ronaldo from Juventus after Tottenham refused to entertain selling Harry Kane, but United have now confirmed a deal for their former No7 to return to Old Trafford.
The fun doesn’t stop there though, as another superstar - Kylian Mbappe - could also be on the move from PSG. Real Madrid have lodged a second bid, worth €170m, after the Parisians accused Real of an “illegal” approach... but if Real get their man, that could also see PSG turn to Erling Haaland, Richarlison or Gabriel Jesus. What a summer!
Chelsea have sold Kurt Zouma to West Ham and now want to move for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde, while Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez could join on loan - though United are also reportedly interested. Tottenham, meanwhile, have signed Metz wonderkid Pape Sarr and are talking to Wolves about signing Adama Traore as they also target Barcelona’s Emerson Royal.
Arsenal have spent more than any other top European team, with the signings of Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale, while Liverpool have made a quiet transfer window and look to miss out on former targets Saul and Mbappe amid new contract plans for Mohamed Salah, with a move for Brighton’s Yves Bissouma seemingly not in the offing.
West Ham, meanwhile, are closing in on another signing in the shape of CSKA Moscow and Croatia star Nikola Vlasic, while Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi could join Dortmund on loan.
