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!

The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Willian Pacho has opened up on the extraordinary circumstances surrounding his move to the Parc des Princes. The Ecuadorian star revealed how a covert meeting and a surprise video call from his future manager convinced him to make the leap to the French capital.
