From juicy rumours that spark heated debates to deals so close you can almost hear the fax machine humming, and a few already sealed with a flourish, this window is delivering drama by the bucketload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re refreshing your news app or arguing over a coffee, we\u2019ve sorted the latest into three categories: Rumoured, Progressing, and Confirmed. Each transfer gets its own spotlight below, with a deep dive into the details for fans who live for the transfer market\u2019s chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>All the latest transfers<\/h2><nav><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#rumoured\">Rumoured:<\/a><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ibrahim-konate-to-real-madrid\">Ibrahima Konate to Real Madrid<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#jadon-sancho-to-juventus\">Jadon Sancho to Juventus<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#evan-ferguson-to-roma\">Evan Ferguson to Roma<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#progressing\">Progressing<\/a><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#hugo-ekitike-to-liverpool\">Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#marcus-rashford-to-barcelona\">Marcus Rashford to Barcelona<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#done-deals\">Done Deals<\/a><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#noni-madueke-to-arsenal\">Noni Madueke to Arsenal<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#thiago-almada-to-atletico-madrid\">Thiago Almada to Atletico Madrid<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#alvaro-carreras-to-real-madrid\">Alvaro Carreras to Real Madrid<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#anthony-elanga-to-newcastle\">Anthony Elanga to Newcastle<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rumoured\">Rumoured:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ibrahim-konate-to-real-madrid\">Ibrahima Konate to Real Madrid<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever get that sinking feeling when a key player\u2019s contract starts ticking down? That\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/liverpool-108\">Liverpool<\/a> fans right now with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/ibrahima-konate-48863\">Ibrahima Konate<\/a>. The French defender, a rock since joining from RB Leipzig in 2021, is reportedly on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/real-madrid-131\">Real Madrid\u2019<\/a>s radar. His deal runs until 2026, and the Spanish giants might be playing the long game, eyeing a free transfer like they pulled with Trent Alexander-Arnold. Konate\u2019s a beast in big games, but Liverpool won\u2019t let him go easily. Could this be the next blockbuster move? Or just the Spanish press stirring the pot for clicks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jadon-sancho-to-juventus\">Jadon Sancho to Juventus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/jadon-sancho-51237\">Jadon Sancho\u2019s<\/a> career is like a mixtape stuck on repeat &#8211; full of promise but needing a new beat. After a loan spell at Chelsea, he\u2019s now linked with Juventus, and Sky Sports reports personal terms are sorted for a four-year deal worth over \u20ac5 million a season. The hitch? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/manchester-united-105\">Manchester United<\/a> wants \u00a325 million, while Juventus is offering closer to \u20ac10 million with bonuses. A move to Serie A could be the reset Sancho needs, tearing up defences in Turin. But will the clubs find common ground on the fee? Or are we in for another drawn-out saga?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"814\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/GettyImages-2162805828-814x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Transfer time: EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND - JULY 20: Jaden Sancho of Manchester United is seen during Manchester United v Rangers - Pre-Season Friendly at BT Murrayfield Stadium on July 20, 2024 in Edinburgh, Scotland. \" class=\"wp-image-6359\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Photo by Ian MacNicol\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"evan-ferguson-to-roma\">Evan Ferguson to Roma<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Brighton\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/evan-ferguson-105802\">Evan Ferguson<\/a> is the kind of young striker who makes you sit up and take notice. Roma\u2019s keen on a loan with an option to buy, but Brighton\u2019s only open to a temporary move. Ferguson\u2019s raw talent could light up Serie A, and a stint in Rome might be the perfect stage for him to shine. Brighton\u2019s playing hardball, though, and who can blame them? The kid\u2019s got star potential. Will Roma pull this off, or is it just a summer flirtation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"progressing\">Progressing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hugo-ekitike-to-liverpool\">Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool\u2019s chase for Eintracht Frankfurt\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/hugo-ekitike-84476\">Hugo Ekitike<\/a> is picking up steam. An agreement of around \u20ac90m has been made with personal terms already agreed. With Darwin Nunez\u2019s future looking wobbly, Ekitike\u2019s pace and goal-scoring nous could be a game-changer for Anfield. Imagine him slotting into that attack, linking up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/mohamed-salah-1439\">Salah<\/a> and Diaz. This could be the signing that keeps Liverpool at the top of the table. The deal\u2019s close, and fans are buzzing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marcus-rashford-to-barcelona\">Marcus Rashford to Barcelona<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/marcus-rashford-39803\">Marcus Rashford<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/team\/fc-barcelona-132\">Barcelona<\/a>? Now that\u2019s a plot twist. Talks for a loan move with an option to buy are in the final stages, with reports confirming Rashford\u2019s keen to leave Manchester United. His speed and flair could give Barcelona\u2019s attack a fresh edge, maybe even challenging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/robert-lewandowski-1857\">Lewandowski<\/a> for a starting spot. The Catalans covering his full salary is no small feat. Could this be Rashford\u2019s chance to rediscover his magic? Or will United rue letting their homegrown star slip away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">DEAL ADVANCING!\ud83d\udd25<br \/><br \/>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/David_Ornstein?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@David_Ornstein<\/a> , Barcelona are in the final stages of securing Marcus Rashford from Manchester United! <br \/><br \/>Offer: loan + buy option via intermediaries.

He&#8217;s signed a six-year deal until 2031, strengthening the left-back spot. With Fran Garcia and Ferland Mendy\u2019s futures up in the air, Carreras could own that flank for years. Real\u2019s ability to snag top full-backs is uncanny, right?

Juventus and Roma are betting on players like Sancho and Ferguson to spark something new. Meanwhile, the progressing deals\u2014Ekitike and Rashford\u2014show how fast things can shift. One minute it\u2019s a whisper; the next, it\u2019s official. Let\u2019s be real: transfers aren\u2019t just about money and contracts. They\u2019re about players chasing dreams, clubs taking risks, and fans daring to hope. Rashford\u2019s potential move to Barcelona feels like a redemption arc waiting to happen. Madueke at Arsenal?
