The summer transfer market continues to be a busy one with key moves in Europe. Top clubs such as Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona are preparing to strengthen their squads, while stars such as João Félix and Jadon Sancho are making headlines.
The transfer market continues with a lot of moves to talk about. One of the most recent and anticipated is the departure of João Félix from Atlético de Madrid, who has been transferred to Chelsea for 50 million euros. According to the London club itself through its official Twitter account, the Portuguese striker has signed a contract until 2030, putting an end to his tumultuous period at the Colchoneros, where he never managed to meet the very high expectations generated by his record signing in 2019.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid continue to plan their future with their sights set on Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies. Despite the Merengue club having already closed their transfer window for the 2024-2025 season, OK Diario reports that the Madrid directors are preparing the ground for the signing of the Canadian in 2025, when his contract with Bayern ends. This operation would follow the same strategy that Real Madrid used in their attempt to sign Kylian Mbappé, indicating the seriousness of their interest in Davies.
At Atlético de Madrid, another signing that has been the talk of the town is that of Conor Gallagher. The 24-year-old English midfielder arrives from Chelsea for 42 million euros. After weeks of negotiations, Diego Simeone’s team has managed to secure a player who promises to bring a leap in quality to the red-and-white midfield. According to information provided by Atlético de Madrid on their social media, Gallagher is a personal bet by the Argentine coach to strengthen a key area of the team.
FC Barcelona, meanwhile, have also been active in the last few hours of the transfer market, securing the loan of Vitor Roque to Real Betis. According to Matteo Moretto, this operation will allow the Catalan club to free up wages, something crucial in the team’s delicate financial situation. Although Sporting Lisbon were also interested in the young Brazilian striker, it will ultimately be Betis who will benefit from his talent, assuming a large part of his salary during the next season.
Atlético de Madrid are not stopping their search for reinforcements and, after completing the signing of Gallagher, they are now focusing on Dávid Hancko, the Feyenoord centre-back. According to journalist Rubén Uría, the colchoneros are preparing a fourth offer for the 26-year-old Slovak, after having seen the first three rejected. Atlético de Madrid seem determined to reinforce their defence with a player who has been key both for his club and for the Slovak national team.
FC Barcelona are still looking for a left winger after failing to secure the signing of Nico Williams from Athletic Club. According to Mirko Di Natale, the Catalan club have now set their sights on Federico Chiesa from Juventus. Barça’s initial offer was 10 million euros, but Juventus are asking for 15 million to let the Italian striker go. The deal could be key to strengthening an attack that has shown shortcomings in recent months.
In Italy, AC Milan have rejected a €20 million offer for Ismaël Bennacer, tempted by Saudi Arabia. According to The Sport Gazettethe Lombard club considers the Algerian midfielder to be essential to maintaining balance in the centre of the pitch, especially after the signing
of Youssouf Fofana. Despite pressure from Saudi clubs, Milan do not seem willing to let Bennacer go for a fee they consider insufficient.
Finally, Jadon Sancho’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain. The Athletic The club reports that after his loan move to Borussia Dortmund, the English winger has improved his relationship with manager Erik ten Hag. However, Chelsea could be preparing an offer in the final days of the transfer market to secure his services. With a valuation of around 45 million euros, Sancho could be one of the last-minute surprises in the Premier League.
