10 transfer stories to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
The transfer window heat is set to turn up following the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup. Here are 10 transfers to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
Rodri
Fresh from winning theGolden Ball during Spain's success at the 2026 World Cup, Rodri finds himself in the headlines. The 30-year-old could remain there during the summer, amid reports of a desire to return home.
Rodri admitted that hewould like a La Liga return earlier this year, with Real Madrid keen on the Spain captain. Manchester City, where Rodri is contracted for another season, have no plans to let him leave.
Julian Alvarez
Atletico Madrid have already turned down an audacious €150m offer for Julian Alvarez from rivals Real Madrid, while Barcelona have left their own bid on the table.
Alvarez iskeen to quit Atleti, with his sights set on Barca, but Diego Simeone's side are playing hardball. Arsenal and PSG are also watching his situation.
Yan Diomande
Arguably the breakout performer across Europe's top five leagues last season,Yan Diomande enhanced his reputation with some stellar showings at the World Cup.
Liverpool lodged an offer of £85m earlier this summer, though Leipzig snubbed that fee. Diomande has declared his preference for Paris Saint-Germain, who are also hoping to strike a deal.
Bradley Barcola
Diomande's potential arrival in Paris could spell the end ofBradley Barcola's time with PSG. The Frenchman was often the odd one out last season in a star-studded frontline, and is considering an exit in search of greater prominence.
Arsenal and Liverpool both like the 23-year-old, who would cost upwards of £80m.
Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah led Egypt to the World Cup's knockout rounds for the first time this summer, before a costly collapse against Argentina. With the tournament done, Salah's search for a new club continues.
The 34-year-old left Liverpool by mutual consent at the end of last season and has been linked with sides in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and MLS.
Bruno Guimaraes
Bruno Guimaraes has told Newcastle United that he wants to explore an exit, following an approach from Arsenal. The club captain has seen Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali sold, leading him to question the project.
Guimaraes is 29 in November and may feel now is his last chance to join a team capable of challenging for the biggest prizes. After four assists at the World Cup, he showed he's capable.
Ayyoub Bouaddi
Lille have received multiple enquiries forAyyoub Bouaddi after his standout performances for Morocco at this summer's World Cup. Manchester City are leading the chase, though the Cityzens face competition from Arsenal, Real Madrid, and PSG, among others.
Manu Kone
AS Roma's need to sell to remain financially compliant, and Manchester United's need for a defensive midfielder, have stoked the fire around an Old Trafford switch. Kone's box-to-box dynamism looks ideally suited to the Premier League, with Roma reluctantly ready to accept his exit.
Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford's future remains up in the air after Barcelona opted against making his loan move permanent. Rashford has not given up hope of returning to Barcelona, and is understood to favour a move abroad.
Several Premier League sides are keen on the 28-year-old, though Manchester United have concerns over selling to a direct rival.
Cristian Romero
Cristian Romero is almost certain to leaveTottenham Hotspur this summer with both parties open to an exit. The Spurs skipper has been vocal about his unhappiness, after successive 17th-place finishes.
Spurs have signed Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi as cover already, withInter Milan and Juventus leading the race for Romero.
