The transfer window usually dominates the back pages during the summer, but that's rarely the case in tournament years as the market is forced to take a back seat. Business never sleeps, however, and several deals have gone under the radar during the 2026 World Cup. After five-and-a-half weeks and some 104 matches, the big event is finally over, which means attention can now turn to the comings and goings at club level.

The football world seems to move faster and faster these days. No sooner had the World Cup ended than attention immediately shifted to the transfer market - which is understandable, given some massive deals are expected to be confirmed in the coming days, following in the footsteps of Morgan Rogers' shock £117 million move from Aston Villa to Chelsea.

Arsenal have reportedly opened direct negotiations with Newcastle regarding a potential deal for wantaway midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. The 28-year-old Brazil international has informed the Magpies hierarchy of his desire to join the Premier League champions ahead of the new campaign.

Manchester United appear to hold an early advantage over Arsenal in the race to sign Manu Kone, with the Roma and France midfielder eyeing a step up and eager to test himself in the Premier League following an emotional World Cup exit.
