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.
Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage has admitted it is difficult for Ismaila Sarr to ignore strong transfer interest from Liverpool. Despite recent bids and the forward missing training, the boss expects the player to stay at Selhurst Park, clarifying that a groin injury is the real reason behind his current absence rather than an attempt to force a late summer departure.
Crystal Palace have launched a dramatic late move to hijack Aston Villa's pursuit of Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez. The Eagles are looking to bolster their backline following a series of departures and injuries that have left Pierre Sage short of options in the heart of his defence.
Liverpool have officially shifted their focus in the transfer market, launching a massive bid for Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr. The move comes after the club decided to walk away completely from negotiations for Brighton forward Yankuba Minteh, leaving Andoni Iraola desperate to secure attacking reinforcements before the summer transfer deadline.
