Shabab Al-Amaari Panoramica

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.

Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is targeting a "fresh start" under new manager Enzo Maresca as he looks to repay the club's faith following a new long-term contract extension. The England international endured a challenging spell last season, but is determined to rediscover his best form after committing his future to the Etihad Stadium until 2030.

Inter manager Cristian Chivu has hailed new signing John Stones for his "charisma" and quality ahead of a prestigious pre-season clash against Manchester City. The Romanian coach insists the England defender will elevate the squad's standards while confirming that the Italian giants remain attentive to further opportunities in the transfer market.

Manchester City are already entering the unknown as they adjust to life after Pep Guardiola, but that already-gruelling transition could be about to get a whole lot tougher. That is because talismanic midfielder Rodri could be on his way to Real Madrid, who are confident of pulling off what would be a blockbuster deal for Spain's World Cup-winning captain.
