Top Transfer Stories
Transfers are heating up, and a few deals are already making headlines. Darwin Núñez just left Liverpool for Al Hilal in a €53 million deal that could climb to €65 million with add‑ons. Liverpool now faces a pressing question: who will fill the striker’s shoes? Rumours point to a chase for Alexander Isak, but that bid already fell short of Newcastle’s asking price.
Meanwhile, Premier League giants are circling the €100 million striker market. Manchester United and Newcastle are both eyeing Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig, while United also has a strong interest in Benjamin Sesko, who seems ready to walk away from Leipzig if the price is right. These high‑profile pursuits show how clubs are willing to splurge to secure a permanent goal‑scoring threat.
In the English league, Marc Guehi’s hoped‑for Liverpool move collapsed after Crystal Palace couldn’t lock in a replacement for Igor Julio. The Toffees now have to look elsewhere or stay patient. On the other side of the market, Marcus Rashford has secured a season‑long loan to Barcelona with a €30 million purchase option, offering him a fresh start in La Liga after a rocky spell at Aston Villa.
Another eye‑catcher is Ivan Toney, who’s back in England’s squad thanks to his scoring spree in Saudi Arabia. England manager Thomas Tuchel wants to see how Toney fits into the team ahead of the 2026 World Cup, especially with other forwards nursing injuries.
Match Previews & Squad News
England’s World Cup qualifiers are shaping up with a tighter squad selected by Tuchel. He left out Trent Alexander‑Arnold, preferring Reece James and Tino Livramento at right‑back, and is betting on current form over past reputation.
In the Premier League, Chelsea could get an injury boost after the international break, with at least one regular expected to return. Manager Enzo Maresca will have more options when he lines up his young squad for the next set of fixtures.
Everton’s brand‑new Hill Dickinson Stadium is set to host its first match against Brighton on August 24, 2025. Tickets are being allocated through a ballot for Forever Blue+ members, with additional sales phases to follow. If you’re planning to attend, keep an eye on the official ticketing portal and consider a hospitality package for a more comfortable experience.
Brighton’s academy prodigy Evan Ferguson is drawing praise from veteran James Milner for his hunger and finishing ability. With 18 goals for Brighton and three for Ireland at just 18, Ferguson is quickly becoming a key figure in Roberto De Zerbi’s attacking plans.
Across the league, Chelsea’s injury news, Liverpool’s transfer maneuvers, and the fight for forward positions at Manchester City all suggest that the next few weeks will be packed with surprise line‑ups and tactical tweaks.
