Copa Resumen

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.

Barcelona academy graduate Tommy Marques has completed a permanent transfer to Portuguese side SC Braga in a deal worth nearly €12 million. The 19-year-old midfielder departs the Catalan giants after more than a decade at the club, seeking regular first-team opportunities following a lack of pathway under manager Hansi Flick.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has promised a late transfer flurry after admitting his squad remains thin ahead of their Premier League opener against Newcastle. The Reds are actively seeking additions after Real Madrid starlet Endrick rejected a summer move to Anfield.

Aston Villa and Barcelona have reportedly joined the race to sign United States international Folarin Balogun from Monaco. Tottenham Hotspur are already in negotiations over a €60 million deal for the prolific striker, but they now face fierce competition from both the Premier League side and the Spanish club ahead of the rapidly approaching transfer deadline.
