The transfer window is now open once more following a short closure after its initial mini-opening ahead of the summer’s Club World Cup. The window has officially re-opened today, Monday 16 June, with clubs able to accelerate deals ahead of the new season.
Liverpool are making plans for a Florian Wirtz medical later this week after agreeing a record £116.5m deal for the German superstar. The Premier League champions, who have already brought in Jeremie Frimpong, will make Wirtz their club-record signing after agreeing a deal with Bayer Leverkusen. However, they may well lose left-back stalwart Andy Robertson, with Atletico Madrid circling.
Manchester United, who have secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m, are negotiating with Brentford about Bryan Mbeumo, who would prefer a move to Old Trafford over Tottenham Hotspur even as Thomas Frank takes charges in north London – though Spurs want Mbeumo and teammate Yoane Wissa.
Arsenal hope to bring in Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi, and Mikel Arteta has made RB Leipzig striker, Benjamin Sesko, their No 1 target for a striker. However, the Gunners have reportedly submitted an initial offer for another forward option – Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres.

It could be a tale of two full-backs at Arsenal this summer with Riccardo Calafiori set to stay at the club but Oleksandr Zinchenko potentially leaving.
According to the Daily Mirror, the Gunners don’t want to cash in on Calafiori but will sanction a move for Zinchenko with AC Milan courting the Ukrainian. The emergence of Myles Lewis-Skelly last season limited the playing time of both men at the Emirates.
Milan were also said to be interested in Calafiori but he has only been at Arsenal a short time since joining from Bologna and the player himself told told Gianluca di Marzio he has no desire to leave.
"At Arsenal, I'm very happy,” said the Italian. “I always feel good in any position I play in order to help the team. What was missing last season was consistency and I'll look to find that consistency next season.
"When I felt good, I always played and made a difference in the team. So the goal next season is to be in form for the whole season."

We already knew that Jadon Sancho had returned to Man United after the conclusion of his loan with Chelsea and Enzo Maresca has confirmed the Blues won’t be signing him as they instead focus on other wing targets.
“Jadon is not with us, so for sure that is a position that probably we need to do something,” said Maresca ahead of Chelsea’s Club World Cup opener against LAFC on Monday.
“Also, because as you already know, Misha (Mykhailo Mudryk) is not with us. So in this moment we have Noni [Madueke], Pedro [Neto] and Ty [Tyrique George] as proper wingers.
“So, for sure, something is going to happen. We said many times, when the transfer window is open, anything can happen - to bring players or to sell players. We will see.”

“It’s been my best season so far in the Premier League. And even collectively, I think we did play very good games. I think we’ve been unlucky to chase the Europe spot, but I think it’s been a fantastic season.”
