Veteran winger Leroy Sané is on the verge of joining Galatasaray, reportedly turning down an improved offer from Bayern Munich to accept a lucrative €200,000‑per‑week deal in Turkey. Despite interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Spurs, Turkish champions appear to have won the race.
Liverpool are poised to smash their transfer record with a €150 million deal to sign German playmaker Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, according to Fabrizio Romano. A medical is imminent.
After a glittering decade at Manchester City, De Bruyne (33) has confirmed a free transfer to Napoli. The deal is all but finalised, pending medical and signatures on a two‑year contract.
Manchester City have completed two major signings ahead of the Club World Cup:
Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for ~€55 million on a five-year deal.
Rayan Cherki from Lyon for £30.5 million
Chelsea’s bid for Hugo Ekitike collapsed as Frankfurt demanded a hefty €100 million fee. Liverpool remain potential suitors, with interest expected to continue.
Liverpool are preparing to sell Darwin Núñez after rejecting a €70 million bid from Al Nassr in January. Clubs in Saudi Arabia and top European teams like Atletico Madrid are tracking the 25‑year‑old Uruguayan striker, currently valued at a minimum of £59 million.
Stay tuned as the main summer window reopens mid‑June and deadline day approaches on 1 September.
