Haugesund 2 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 likely to once again be bust, with some huge names set to make big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Alejandro Garnacho has been likened to Anthony Gordon, with both wingers considered to be limited, with former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino telling GOAL why the Blues may listen to offers for a £40 million ($53m) flop during the summer transfer window of 2026. Argentina international Garnacho only moved to Stamford Bridge 12 months ago, but uncomfortable questions are already being asked of his future.

Ashley Cole has announced his departure from Serie B side Cesena, bringing an abrupt end to his first head coaching role after just three months. The former England international decided to step down following internal discussions regarding the club’s future direction.

Vinicius Junior is rapidly approaching a critical crossroads in his career, with the Brazilian superstar yet to agree an extension to his expiring contract at Real Madrid. Despite the ticking clock, any hopes of a blockbuster move to the Premier League with Chelsea have been completely extinguished due to a breakdown in relations with a key figure at Stamford Bridge.
