Welcome to the 2026 summer transfer window edition of The Transfer DealSheet, where we bring you the latest on the deals and players being worked on across Europe's top clubs. In this edition, we have updates on Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. David Ornstein's One To Watch: Crysencio Summerville, a tricky winger from West Ham United, is attracting interest from Manchester United. With a potential price tag of £50 million, United are considering him as a replacement for Marcus Rashford, who is expected to return to the club after a loan spell at Barcelona. What makes Summerville appealing is his ability to cut in off the flank and shoot for the far corner, as demonstrated in his goal for the Netherlands against Japan at the World Cup. However, United's focus may shift to other positions, such as central midfield, where Ederson is set to join from Atalanta. Another player on United's radar is Mateus Fernandes from West Ham, with talks advancing through his agent Jorge Mendes. As for Arsenal, they are exploring a deal for Club Brugge forward Christos Tzolis, who could be available for around €40 million. The club is also considering entering the market for a central midfielder and has been linked with players like Sandro Tonali and Alex Scott. Chelsea, on the other hand, has sold Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid for €60 million, and is looking for two or three players who can go straight into the first XI. They are targeting players like Valentin Barco, Morgan Rogers, and Emmanuel Emegha. Liverpool, meanwhile, is focusing on signing wide attackers, with Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig and Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain on their radar. Centre midfield and right-back are also positions that need attention. Manchester City, led by the newly appointed Jose Mourinho, is looking to strengthen in various positions, including right-back, holding midfielder, and winger. They have already signed Bernardo Silva on a free transfer and are considering players like Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes. Newcastle United is targeting an attacker to replace Anthony Gordon and a new No. 1 goalkeeper, with Victor Munoz and James Trafford on their radar. Tottenham Hotspur is focused on improving their defensive options and has submitted offers for Jan Paul van Hecke and Luka Vuskovic. Barcelona, under Hansi Flick, is looking for a centre-forward, with Julian Alvarez and Victor Osimhen on their list. Real Madrid, led by Jose Mourinho, is working on strengthening key positions and is considering players like Ibrahima Konate, Bernardo Silva, and Marc Cucurella. Overall, this summer transfer window promises to be an exciting one, with many clubs looking to strengthen their squads and make significant signings.
