Phnom Penh Crown 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 identified Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk as their primary defensive target this summer following the €70 million signing of Goncalo Ramos. Senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic is driving the ambitious pursuit as the Italian club look to capitalise on a major rebuild at Anfield and secure the experienced centre-back for their new era under manager Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim has wasted no time in making his mark at the San Siro, sanctioning a club-record move to secure his first signing as AC Milan manager. The Rossoneri have completed the high-profile acquisition of Portuguese international Goncalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has openly fuelled intense speculation linking him with a summer move to Juventus and AC Milan, confessing to a childhood dream of playing in Italy. Breaking his silence after being dropped by Brazil for the World Cup, the 29-year-old delivered a remarkably honest assessment of his campaign, admitting he fully agreed with Carlo Ancelotti's decision.
