Monday marked the end of the Summer Transfer Window for most of the top European leagues, ending the quest for many clubs to bolster their squads until January.
From Alexander Isak to Nicolas Jackson to Yoane Wissa, there were plenty of players on the move prior to Monday’s deadline.
The Isak saga ended for Newcastle United as the Swedish international joined reigning English Premier League champions Liverpool on a £125 million deal. Isak became the latest big acquisition by the Reds this summer, who also added Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike earlier in the window.
Jackson switched the Premier League for the German Bundesliga, joining Bayern Munich from Chelsea on a loan move. Should he make a set number of appearances for the Bundesliga giants, Bayern would then be obligated to buy Jackson for a reported £56.2 million deal. Chelsea is also receiving a £14.3 loan fee from Bayern.
Wissa will stay in the Premier League after joining Newcastle United from Brentford for £56.2 million. The DR Congo international looked originally set to move to Saudi Arabia earlier in the window, but instead will head to Tyneside.
Fulham made a club-record deal on Monday, acquiring Kevin for £34.6 million from Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk. The 22-year-old Brazilian scored 17 goals in 57 appearances for Shakhtar.
Sunderland bolstered its midfield in the form of Brian Brobbey. Brobbey joined from Dutch Eredivisie club Ajax in a move worth £21.6 million.
Liverpool’s move for England defender Marc Guehi fell through after Crystal Palace reportedly backed out after failing to secure a replacement.
Despite being linked with a move to Manchester United, Emi Martinez will stay at Aston Villa after a call never came from the Red Devils.
Here’s a rundown of all the recent European Transfers and reports:
Nottingham Forest made a pair of acquisitions on Monday, signing Oleksandr Zinchenko on loan from Arsenal and acquiring Dilane Bakwa from Strasbourg.
Bournemouth added defensive help in the form of two players. Serbian international Veljko Milosavljevic joined for £13 million from Red Star Belgrade while Alex Jimenez signed on-loan from AC Milan.
Manchester United added a new goalkeeper in the form of Senne Lammens from Belgian club Royal Antwerp. The Red Devils paid Antwerp reportedly £18.1 million for Lammens.
Arsenal loaned out forward Reiss Nelson to fellow London club Brentford for the 2025-26 season.
Harvey Elliott has joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan spell from Liverpool. In addition, Jadon Sancho also made the move to Villa Park in a similar move from Manchester United.
Sunderland added Bertrand Traore in a permanent move from Ajax.
Igor Julio was loaned out to West Ham United from Brighton & Hove Albion for the remainder of the current season.
Victor Lindelof traded Manchester United for Aston Villa in a free transfer from Old Trafford. The Swedish international was a free agent after his contract expired earlier in the summer.
Wolverhampton Wanderers made a major offensive splash with Tolu Arokodare joining from Belgian side Genk in a £24 million deal. Arokodare won the Belgian Pro League Golden Boot last season.
Antony has joined Real Betis in a permanent deal from Manchester United for a reported fee of £21.65 million. The Brazilian impressed on loan last season in Spain, helping Betis reach the UEFA Europa Conference League Final.
Piero Hincapie has joined Arsenal on loan from German club Bayer Leverkusen. Should Arsenal exercise the purchase option for Hincapie, they will have to pay an agreed fee of £45 million.
Adrien Rabiot has moved to AC Milan while Jonathan Rowe joined Bologna. The former Marseille pair were both on the move this window after a fight in training between the two led to their eventual departures.
Tottenham added attacking help with French forward Randal Kolo Muani joining on a season-long loan spell from Paris Saint-Germain.
Chelsea added offensive depth with Argentine international Facundo Buonanotte joining on a season-long loan spell from Brighton & Hove Albion. The move comes after Nicolas Jackson’s move to Bayern Munich and Liam Delap’s recent injury.
Cyriel Dessers is on his way out of Rangers after making the move to Greek side Panathinaikos in a permanent deal.
Former Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy signed with Italian Serie A side Cremonese on a free transfer. Vardy was out of contract since the Foxes suffered relegation to the EFL Championship.
Nottingham Forest also added defensive help in the form of former Botafogo defender Cuiabano.
Fulham also added Samuel Chukwueze on loan from Serie A side AC Milan.
Strasbourg added England defender Ben Chilwell in a permanent move from Chelsea.
Rasmus Hojlund is on his way to Napoli in a season-long loan spell from Manchester United. He will team up with former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay and former Man City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne in Naples.
Cremonese also added Jeremy Sarmiento on a season-long loan spell from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Leicester City added attacking help in the former of Aaron Ramsey from Burnley. The Foxes also added former Philadelphia Union forward Julian Carranza on loan from Dutch side Feyenoord.
Abu Kamara is off to Spain after joining Getafe from Hull City in a loan deal for the remainder of the La Liga season.
Arsenal loaned forward Fabio Vieira to German Bundesliga side Hamburg for the remainder of the season.
Aberdeen added longtime forward Kevin Nisbet in a permanent move from fellow Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.
Sheffield United attacking veteran defender Ben Mee in a free deal.
Omari Kellyman has joined League One side Cardiff City on loan from Chelsea for the remainder of the season.
Birmingham City added veteran winger Patrick Roberts on loan from Sunderland.
Will Smallbone is staying in the EFL Championship after joining Millwall on loan from Southampton.
Cremaschi loaned to Parma.
Probably pulls him off the US u20 team now.
There’s been no announcement about him not attending camp in Spain this week. Parma does have American (Iowan) owners so perhaps he’ll at least be available during the window in October. He would only miss 2 or 3 Parma matches total. Hard to make that choice though with 21 man roster for WC.
It doesn’t look like he’s likely to start so it’s possible they’ll release him. I believe rosters are due in two weeks on the 18th.
Sargent and Wright still in the Championship. I guess they will have to hope their teams get promoted. One of the moves that surprised me is Chelsea selling Ben Chilwell. I always thought he looked good when he played with Chelsea and he has 21 caps. Apparently Chelsea and Strasbourg are owned by the same people, still I don’t understand the move from Chelsea’s standpoint.
I think both Sargent and Wright will be hoping for winter moves, especially if they both keep wracking up goals. I don’t think either Norwich or Coventry will get promoted and they are both probably looking to see if they can take a step up to a higher level.
Cucurela and 65 million is why Chelsea let Chilwell go. He only dressed twice for them last year and had trouble getting minutes at Palace on loan. Sorry if this is a repeat thought I posted earlier but I don’t see it.
Another interesting note is Chelsea bought Ishe Samuals-Smith back from Strausbourg having sold him there a month ago. Smith never played for Strausbourg and has been loaned to Swansea. This puts Caleb Wiley as their likely 3rd choice LB but far far behind Cucurela and Hato (who they just spent 45 million on from Ajax).
