The transfer phase is underway and the first stars already have new clubs. You can find rumors and confirmed transfers from the world of football here.
A few days before the start of the season in the major international leagues, the transfer carousel is in full swing. The biggest transfer of the summer so far: Kylian Mbappé has left Paris Saint-Germain and is now playing for Champions League winners Real Madrid. But it is not the only top transfer of the summer.
Important for all Bundesliga fans: German clubs can sign new players until August 30, 2024.
The at least temporary departure of former prodigy Youssoufa Moukoko from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund to France is imminent. The attacker was absent from BVB training on Tuesday. “Borussia Dortmund has released the striker for talks with another club,” the Black and Yellows announced on X.
The 19-year-old currently has no sporting prospects in Dortmund under new coach Nuri Sahin. The two-time international player was not in the BVB squad in the two previous competitive matches. According to media reports, a loan to OGC Nice in the French Ligue 1 is initially planned. The deal is said to include a purchase option. Moukoko’s contract in Dortmund runs until 2026.
Hamburger SV will strike again on the transfer market and is close to signing Marco Richter. This is what several media outlets are reporting. Last season, the attacking midfielder played for 1. FSV Mainz 05, but had a weak season there. HSV will loan Richter for one season.
This means that the second division’s top team has once again strengthened its already well-positioned offensive. After Davie Selke and Adam Karabec, Richter is the third offensive player to move to Hamburg and will have a claim to the starting eleven.
Fourth new signing for RB Leipzig: The Bundesliga football club from Saxony has strengthened its squad with the talented Arthur Vermeeren from Atlético Madrid. As Leipzig announced on Monday, the 19-year-old Belgian international will initially join coach Marco Rose’s team on loan for one year. If Vermeeren then plays a certain number of competitive matches, he will be obliged to buy. The contract would then run until 2029.
Vermeeren only moved to Madrid from the traditional Belgian club Royal Antwerp at the beginning of the year and has played in five LaLiga games for the “Rojiblancos”. He has played four games for Belgium. Vermeeren was in the squad for the European Championship in Germany, but did not play a single game.
The departure of Youssoufa Moukoko from Borussia Dortmund, who is keen to move, is apparently a done deal: As transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Monday afternoon, BVB and top French club OGC Nice have agreed on a transfer of the attacker. According to the report, the two clubs have agreed on a loan of the 19-year-old with a subsequent purchase option, with Nice paying the striker’s entire salary.
The obligatory medical check is scheduled to take place on Tuesday.
Liverpool FC apparently wants to sign Georgian national goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. This is reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Mamardashvili currently plays for Spanish first division club Valencia FC.
According to Romano, the clubs have already reached an agreement on the transfer fee. Liverpool will pay Valencia 35 million euros plus a resale clause. Despite the impending transfer, it is possible that the goalkeeper will continue to play for Valencia. Liverpool would probably loan him back to the Spaniards straight away.
At the 2024 European Championship in Germany, Mamardashvili caused a stir with some spectacular saves. In the round of 16, he and the Georgian national team were defeated by Spain (1:4).
