The summer transfer window in Europe may be closed, but the transfer market is abuzz with rumors and potential moves. Here's a roundup of the latest news:
Manchester City's Erling Haaland reportedly still harbors a desire to join Real Madrid in the future, despite Kylian Mbappe's impending move to Los Blancos as a free agent. Haaland, who initially aimed to join Madrid in 2025, now sees City's Champions League clash with Real as an opportunity to showcase his talents for a potential move. City is said to be expediting contract renewal talks with Haaland, whose current deal includes a release clause that could facilitate a summer departure.
Financial constraints could complicate Real Madrid's pursuit of both Mbappe and Haaland. Meanwhile, AC Milan and Juventus are eyeing Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, with the latter considering a potential swap deal involving Arthur. Bayern Munich is monitoring left-back options, including Ian Maatsen and Theo Hernández, while Aston Villa and Manchester United are interested in Torino's Raoul Bellanova.
Napoli is deliberating whether to permanently sign Hamed Traoré from AFC Bournemouth, with the club's managerial situation playing a key role in the decision. Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa will depart Salernitana as a free agent at the end of the season after a stint that saw him make 40 appearances for the Serie A side.
