The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.
Juventus defender Gleison Bremer has firmly dismissed speculation surrounding a potential departure from Turin this summer despite growing interest from European clubs.

Bayern Munich concluded their pre-season tour of Asia on a high note, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at the Kai Tak Sports Park.
