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.

Argentine sensation Franco Mastantuono has broken his silence regarding his summer departure from Real Madrid, describing his loan move to Fiorentina as the ideal step for his developing career. The teenage playmaker opted for a move to Serie A despite significant interest from across Europe following a testing debut campaign in the Spanish capital.

Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal is “way better” than Yan Diomande at present, Steve McManaman has admitted to GOAL, but Real Madrid’s €140 million (£120m/$162m) new boy has been urged to embrace inevitable comparisons with his fellow 19-year-old. Two talented teenagers will be looking to illuminate La Liga in 2026-27 while operating on opposing sides of the fierce Clasico divide.

Yan Diomande has opened up about his "dream" move to Real Madrid, revealing the intense dedication he feels toward manager Jose Mourinho. The young winger, who arrived in the Spanish capital following a breakout campaign in Germany, admitted he was stunned when the legendary coach personally contacted him to seal the deal.
