Summer Transfer Window Reopens: Major Moves Expected

Summer Transfer Window Reopens – Who Could Be On the Move?

Just six days after closing, the summer transfer window has reopened, with Premier League, EFL, and Scottish Premiership clubs now free to buy and sell until 19:00 BST on Monday, 1 September.

Premier League clubs already spent £400m in the early window (1–10 June), and the total is likely to surpass last summer’s £1.96bn as the market heats up.

Why Two Transfer Windows?

FIFA allowed an early June window to give Club World Cup participants the chance to reinforce squads. But with FIFA’s 16-week annual transfer window limit, the market was paused briefly before resuming on 11 June.

Deals Already Done

Manchester City – Spent £116.2m on Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli
Man Utd – Signed Wolves striker Matheus Cunha for £62.5m
Liverpool – Bought Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen for £29.5m, now agree £116m deal for Florian Wirtz
Chelsea – Signed Liam Delap from Ipswich for £30m
Brighton – Acquired Charalampos Kostoulas for £29.78m from Olympiakos
Real Madrid – Signed Dean Huijsen (£50m, Bournemouth) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.4m, Liverpool)
Borussia Dortmund – Snatched Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland for £27m
