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 defender Josko Gvardiol has hailed new manager Enzo Maresca as the "perfect" successor to Pep Guardiola as the Premier League champions begin a new era. The Italian coach has big shoes to fill after the legendary Catalan departed the Etihad Stadium following a trophy-laden decade in charge of the club.

Tottenham have agreed a €40 million (£34m) fee to sell club captain Cristian Romero to Serie A side Inter. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi has publicly confirmed he will respect the defender's desire to seek a fresh challenge away from London.

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.
