12 de Octubre Overview

Newcastle have officially identified Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha as their absolute priority to replace Arsenal-bound captain Bruno Guimaraes this summer. The Magpies have already opened preliminary discussions for the highly-rated Germany international, although they face a staggering €120 million asking price.

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.

Ajax have pulled off a major transfer surprise by securing the signing of Germany international Julian Brandt. The former Borussia Dortmund playmaker was available as a free agent and has penned a three-year deal in Amsterdam after months of secret talks.

Jobe Bellingham is ready to assume a leadership role at Borussia Dortmund after a year of settling in at Signal Iduna Park. The 20-year-old Englishman has issued a rallying cry to Dortmund supporters, promising to deliver "great things" in the new season.
