The Unofficial 2025 Summer Transfer Rumors/Done Deals Thread
 

It's about that time again! A little weird with summer with the Premier League getting an early opening, closing in two weeks and then opening again! Rumors are swirling!

[B][U]Top 10 Transfer Fees[/U][/B]
Alexander Isak (Newcastle United > Liverpool): $176m
Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen > Liverpool): $143.5m
Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt > Liverpool): $106m

Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP > Arsenal): $85m
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton > Manchester United): $84m
Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad > Arsenal): $83m
Joao Pedro (Brighton > Chelsea): $73m

United sign Cunha and looks like closing in on Mbuemo. Apparently Sancho being sent back from Chelsea too

Liverpool continue to be linked to Wirtz. Insane money discussed.

Chelsea sign Delap and in the mix for Gittens from Dortmund

Essugo - £18m -----> Chelsea
Delap - £30m ----> Chelsea
Sucic - £14m -----> Inter
Le Fee - £20m ----> Sunderland
Kelleher - £12m ----> Brentford
Flekken - £8m ------> Leverkusen
Valle - £5m -----> Como

With Bruno staying and no European football, where are Man United getting the money from to sign Cunha and Mbeumo while avoiding getting into PSR trouble?

Anthony, Rashford, Garnatcho, Sancho, Hoijlund, Mainoo Erikson, Dalot...

I fully expect Fernandes to leave. He's only not gone there because of his family.

See what the window brings after the corruption cup in a few weeks.

Mamadou Sarr - £undisclosed -----------> Chelsea

Ait Nouri to Manchester city is done. Good signing in a relatively problem position for them.

aye it's a very, very good signing for them.

I've got a trove of his rated rookies from 2020 Chronicles in a box somewhere. might be able to finally shift them lol

Jobe Bellingham ---------- Dortmund.

Sunderland have had Dortmunds pants down here. I've seen Bellingham number two three times in the flesh, and he's an average holding midfielder with licence.

20 this year.

They obviously see something.

Looks like Wirtz is done for around 150M

Junior Firpo ------------> Real Betis
Kevin De Bryune -------> Napoli
Leroy Sane ------------> Galatasaray
Cunha - £65m ----------------> Man Utd

Not exaclty news but t Real Madrid addressing two significant needs with TAA and Dean Huijsen who I hadn't watched until the Nation's League and looked like an absolute stud. Now they just need a left back.

I am liking the move of guys like Modric and De Bryune to Italy when they both likely could have cashed in and went to Saudi Arabia.

Wirtz - £100m ------------------> Liverpool

Mastantuono - £38m ---------------> Real Madrid

Lukas Nmecha ------------> Leeds United

When sports ownership groups move their chips around across sports:

Interesting article related to the Wirtz signing and liverpool owners FSG:

While I do enjoy baseball, I get a little giddy with the fact that some baseball die-hards might be triggered by their team selling a star player so the owners soccer team can afford a SOCCER player.

Joan Garcia - £25m --------------> Barcelona

Kerkez - £40m --------------------> Liverpool

Jaka Bijol - £20m -------------------------> Leeds United

Former pumped wonderboy Moukoko on a five year deal at FC Copenhagen.

Liverpool were able to make their big moves by:

1. Only spending 12M in the previous two transfer windows
2. Getting 181.5 for winning the Premier League (from multiple avenues, not just the league)
3. Not re-signing TAA plus 10M for early release
4. Possibly the trade of Rafael Devers - LOL!

Malik Tillman to Bayern Leverkusen! Could be a good move for him but I worry about him playing under ETH.

Ansu Fati [loan to buy] ---------------> Monaco

[QUOTE=YayNJ;19948663]Ansu Fati [loan to buy] ---------------> Monaco[/QUOTE]

There gotta be a lot of flippers holding on to a lot of underwater Ansu Fati cards.....people were paying ridiculous prices for his cards when he first burst on to the scene.

I ripped and flipped my fair share of the original sapphire and want to say my high sale for a PSA 10 RC was just shy of $2k. That card is now down to $10!!!!

I am going to pick one up as a relic of those crazy times.
