Rein Meer Aomori 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.

AC Milan have been forced to officially deny social media rumours claiming that club legend and honorary vice-president Franco Baresi has passed away. The Rossoneri acted quickly on Wednesday evening after false reports regarding the 66-year-old’s health began to circulate rapidly across various platforms.

Ruben Amorim has addressed Rafael Leao's future at AC Milan amid intense speculation linking the winger with a blockbuster move to Fenerbahce. The Portuguese tactician insisted that the team remains his priority while the Serie A giants hold out for a permanent transfer fee.

Besiktas’ ambitious attempt to land Mohamed Salah as a free agent has hit a significant roadblock, prompting the Turkish giants to explore high-profile alternatives in Serie A. The Egyptian icon had been heavily linked with a move to Istanbul following the expiration of his Liverpool contract, but internal disputes over the finer details of the deal have opened the door for a potential pursuit of AC Milan's Rafael Leao instead.
