Although the transfer window has officially closed in Europe’s top leagues, speculation continues as clubs strategize for the future. Teams are diligently working behind the scenes to identify potential targets and assess their budgets.
Managers are consistently evaluating their squads, alongside sporting directors and recruitment teams who are exploring the market for possible transfers. The rumour mill is in full effect, and we’ve gathered some of the most significant transfer stories making headlines today.
Today’s Top Transfer Stories
Everton is actively planning to secure Jack Grealish from Manchester City on a permanent basis. The 29-year-old winger has already made four assists in three matches for the Toffees, and the club is keen to solidify his future, though they aim to negotiate a fee lower than the €57.7 million buyout clause tied to his loan.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank appears to have dismissed the notion of Yves Bissouma moving away from the club. Although the midfielder hasn’t been a key player lately, options for leaving seem limited after the summer transfer windows in Saudi Arabia and Turkey closed; Qatar remains a possible destination. Frank commented, “I would be surprised if anyone leaves us now. Bissouma is part of the squad.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana has completed a season-long loan move to Turkish side Fatih Karagümrük, which includes an option to buy. The 22-year-old was included in the Blues’ 25-man Premier League squad but has decided to return to the Süper Lig, where he previously spent half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Göztepe.
