The summer transfer window is underway and the first stars have already found new clubs. You can find rumors and confirmed transfers from the world of football here.
Even after the European Championship, the transfer carousel is in full swing. The biggest move: French star Kylian Mbappé is leaving Paris Saint-Germain and will play for Champions League winners Real Madrid from next season. But it will not be the only top transfer of the summer.
Important for all Bundesliga fans: German clubs can sign new players until August 30, 2024.
The signs are increasing that national player Pascal Groß will move from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion to Borussia Dortmund. Brighton’s managing director Paul Barber has now also hinted at the midfielder’s departure. In an interview with “Talksport” he praised Groß as a “fantastic” help for the club. “Of course we would like to keep him, but we are also aware of the stage of his career he is at and the opportunity Dortmund could offer him,” said Barber.
According to reports, Groß has been in agreement with BVB about a transfer for some time. However, the two clubs have not yet been able to reach an agreement. As the TV channel “Sky” is now reporting, there is still no breakthrough in the negotiations. According to the report, the clubs are talking, but BVB’s latest offer of around seven to eight million euros is said to be too little for Brighton. They are said to be demanding around ten million euros.
The future of Mats Hummels is uncertain. The former Borussia Dortmund professional is currently still looking for a new club. Most recently he was linked with RCD Mallorca, but now there are new rumors. As the Italian “Gazzetta dello Sport” reports, the surprise team FC Bologna has its eye on the central defender.
The team, which finished fifth in Serie A last season and qualified for the Champions League, is reportedly looking for a successor to the sought-after Riccardo Calafiori. The 22-year-old is currently being linked with a move to Arsenal FC.
Amadou Onana is moving from Everton FC to Aston Villa. Both clubs announced this. The 22-year-old midfielder played over 70 games for Everton FC after signing from OSC Lille in the summer of 2022 and scored three goals last season. After his appearance at the European Championship, the Belgian international is now moving to Aston Villa, who finished fourth in the table last Premier League season.
The Belgian’s first stop in professional football was at Hamburger SV – who are now also profiting from the transfer thanks to a share in the resale. After just under a year, Onana moved to Lille for seven million euros, and a year later he went to Everton for 35 million euros. Hamburg received a bonus of 5.6 million euros, or 20 percent of the transfer profit. Now they are collecting a further 974,000 euros.
Deniz Undav is still hoping to move to VfB Stuttgart. The national striker has repeatedly stressed in recent weeks that he sees his future with the Swabians. However, the 28-year-old is still under contract with Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion. And they are demanding a high transfer fee from VfB Stuttgart.
According to “Kicker”, the German runners-up are said to have offered a basic transfer fee of 25 million euros. In addition, there are bonus payments of an undisclosed amount. Since Brighton has not yet accepted the offer and is insisting on Undav’s return, the deal is in danger of falling through, it is said. According to this, there is even a deadline, which sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth “does not want to talk about”.
