Now that the domestic season is over for all major European leagues, clubs can now focus on their preparations for the 2025/26 campaign, with a natural focus on recruitment.

The big spenders will be out in force again, with Real Madrid looking to back new boss Xabi Alonso, Chelsea keen to improve again after securing Champions League qualification, and Manchester United desperate to reclaim some kind of success after a disastrous season that saw them finish just three places above the relegation zone in the Premier League.

The Red Devils have signed Matheus Cunha, with Man City also flexing their financial power to sign Tijani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Rayan Cherki.

Some big deals happened earlier than usual due to the Club World Cup and the deadline for participation in that tournament is now over, though the window remains open.

Some questions that will hang over the transfer window this season:

  • Will Viktor Gyokeres leave Sporting CP?
  • Who will sign Victor Osimhen?
  • How much can Barcelona spend?
  • Will top players want to join Man Utd?
  • Will Arsenal sign a world-class striker?

Laporta responds to Athletic Club's Williams worries

This week Athletic Club contacted La Liga to express concerns that Barcelona can't actually afford to sign Nico Williams nor register him as a player, on his wages, due to their financial situation.

Club President Joan Laporta responded to the Basque side, saying:

“Everyone should do what they think they have to. We’re doing what Barca should do when it comes to taking advantage of the opportunities in the market and following what our director of football and our manager tell us. I have nothing more to say about Athletic; let them do what they have to do. I respect what they do, just as I hope I respect what we do.”
