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 million-euro transfer of U21 international Brajan Gruda from Bundesliga club FSV Mainz 05 to English Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion is imminent. “As things stand, the transfer is not complete because nothing has been signed yet,” said Mainz sports director Christian Heidel on Wednesday afternoon: “But the probability that the transfer will go ahead is very high. The talks have been going on for ten days.”
Heidel did not want to be specific about the speculation about the transfer fee of between 30 and 40 million euros for the offensive jewel. “I never said that Brajan would cost 50 million,” said the board member: “But I was very happy that the figure was on the table.” If the transfer goes ahead, the FSV will sign “more than one player,” according to Heidel: “But we will not only invest in the team, but also in stones, as always.”
For coach Bo Henriksen, whose team will face neighboring third division club SV Wehen Wiesbaden in the first round of the DFB Cup on Friday, Gruda’s departure is understandable. “I am proud that he has this chance and can take this step,” said the Dane. “If everything goes well, we will get money for the next few years. We train players. That is the culture and the foundation of our club.”
Youssoufa Moukoko’s transfer to Olympique Marseille is in danger of failing. According to information from “Sky”, the negotiations between BVB and the French club are in jeopardy. The reason for this is disagreements regarding the terms of the transfer.
Borussia Dortmund is apparently about to sell young talent Paris Brunner to AS Monaco. This is reported by the TV broadcaster Sky. According to the report, both clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of four million euros. The U17 world champion is to receive a contract until 2028. However, the medical check is still pending.
However, Brunner will not play for Monaco for the time being. According to the report, he will be loaned out to Monaco’s partner club Cercle Brugge to gain his first experience in the senior sector.
RB Leipzig is likely to sign Antonio Nusa from Club Brugge. This is reported by the “Kicker” and the “Bild” newspaper. According to reports, the Norwegian international is set to move to the Champions League participant for a transfer fee of around 22 million euros and replace Dani Olmo, who has moved to FC Barcelona.
The 19-year-old Nusa scored three goals in 20 appearances for Bruges last season and can play as either a number ten or a winger. The reigning German champions Bayer Leverkusen and several Premier League clubs are also said to be interested in Nusa.
Still no new player for Liverpool FC. Jürgen Klopp’s former club has now received a rejection from defensive midfielder Martín Zubimendi, who was also on FC Bayern’s list. According to Spanish media reports, Zubimendi wants to stay at Real Sociedad San Sebastian. A transfer fee of 60 million euros was discussed.
