Nathan Ake (Manchester City to Fenerbahce: £7m)

Nathan Ake ended a trophy-laden six-year spell with Manchester City on July 4 after it was revealed the Dutchman would be leaving the Premier League to join Fenerbahce.

The Turkish giants will pay an initial fee of £7m, which could rise to £8.5m with add-ons, for the former Bournemouth defender, who has signed a three-year deal.

Jadon Anthony (Burnley to Brentford: £15m)

Brentford have taken advantage of Burnley’s relegation to the Championship to sign striker Jadon Anthony for an initial £15m.

Anthony scored nine goals and provided four assists in all competitions last season and was one of the few Burnley players to make an outstanding contribution in the Premier League despite the team’s eventual relegation to League Two.

Hayden Hackney (Middlesbrough to Everton – £16m)

Everton have won the race to sign Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, who is reportedly interested in Manchester United.

Hackney worked with Michael Carrick when he was manager of the League Two club, but the midfielder opted to join the Toffees, who paid £16m for the 24-year-old.

Denzel Dumfries (Inter to Real Madrid – £17m)

Denzel Dumfries will rival Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid after it was officially announced on July 5 that the Inter Milan right-back had joined Jose Mourinho’s side.

The Dutch international has enjoyed five productive years in Serie A, winning the league title twice and almost winning the Champions League twice.

Given his talent and experience at the highest level, Real Madrid secured a fantastic deal, spending just £17 million on the transfer fee.

Eliezer Minda (from Sunderland to Rennes, £22m)

Sunderland have confirmed that midfielder Eliezer Minda has left the club to join Ligue 1 club Rennes.

The 21-year-old had a significant impact in the Black Cats’ promotion to the Premier League in 2024-25, scoring twice in the qualifying semi-final and final to help the Wearsiders reach the Premier League.

However, his participation declined last season, prompting Wren to sign him for around £22 million.

Ismail Sibari (PSV Eindhoven to Bayern Munich – £42m

Ismail Saibari is one of the stars of the World Cup and has been impressive in North America, scoring three goals so far to help Morocco to the last eight of the tournament.

Bayern Munich rushed to seal the deal before the end of the tournament and will pay around £42m to sign the forward, who scored 19 goals in all competitions for PSV Eindhoven last season.

Bazoumana Toure (Hoffenheim to Newcastle: £43m)

Newcastle United have found a replacement for Anthony Gordon, signing Bazoumana Toure from Hoffenheim in a deal worth around £43m.

The left winger, who made three World Cup appearances before leaving Ivory Coast for Norway, originally joined German league club Hoffenheim in February 2025 and now leaves after scoring five goals in 45 appearances in all competitions.

Marco Balestra (Atalanta to Chelsea: £47m)

Xabi Alonso made Marco Balestra his first signing as new Chelsea manager as the Blues agreed a £47million deal with Atalanta to bring the Italian full-back to Stamford Bridge.

Palestra was voted the best defender in the Italian league last season after his excellent performances while on loan at Cagliari and will be in contention for the right-back position amid reports that Malo Giusto is set to leave the club.

Nathaniel Brown (Frankfurt to Bayern Munich – £47m)

Bayern Munich have wasted no time in signing Germany’s starting left-back for the World Cup, with Nathaniel Brown joining from Frankfurt in a £47m deal.

Brown will primarily compete with Alphonso Davies for a starting spot at the Allianz Arena and has signed a five-year deal with the Bundesliga champions that runs until 2031.

Matheus Fernandes (West Ham to Tottenham: £85m)

“Tottenham” was able to take the Portuguese midfielder Matheus Fernandez from London “West Ham”.

The Hammers were unable to prevent the 21-year-old’s departure following two league relegations, with Spurs paying a whopping £85m for his services.

Sandro Tonali (Newcastle to Tottenham – £100m)

Sandro Tonali was undoubtedly at the top of many clubs’ desires in the transfer market, with the Italian linked with the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City, before Tottenham broke the transfer record for the second time in a week by completing a £100m deal.

The midfielder leaves Newcastle after three years on Tyneside, where he made over 100 appearances and won the League Cup in 2025.

Elliott Anderson (Nottingham Forest to Manchester City: £116m)

At the start of July, Manchester City completed one of the summer’s most notable transfer stories, sealing a £116m deal for Nottingham Forest to sign Elliott Anderson.

The England international, who was also a Manchester United target, underwent a medical while playing for the Three Lions at the World Cup and leaves the City Ground after making 92 appearances for Forest in all competitions.
