ES WAC Overview

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Former Juventus midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi believes the Bianconeri possess a stronger squad than most Serie A rivals following their summer transfer window activity. However, he insists title rivals Inter and Napoli still hold a distinct advantage ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Arsenal are bracing themselves for a flurry of late transfer activity as interest in teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri continues to intensify across the continent. The 19-year-old is now the subject of a multi-club tug-of-war involving some of Europe’s biggest names, with offers expected from clubs in Italy, Germany and the Premier League.

Ruben Amorim has warned Rafael Leao that he faces a difficult task to reclaim his place in the AC Milan starting line-up following their pre-season win over Manchester United. The Portuguese forward missed the friendly clash through injury amid ongoing transfer speculation, with his manager insisting competition for attacking berths will be fierce.
