Summer window in full swing
The Premier League summer 2026 transfer window opened on 15 June and clubs have wasted no time. With the window closing on 1 September, here is a roundup of the most significant confirmed deals and developing stories across the division.
Headline deals
Chelsea — Morgan Rogers (£117m from Aston Villa)
The window's defining move so far. Chelsea broke the British transfer record to land Morgan Rogers on a seven-year contract, signalling Xabi Alonso's intent to build a squad capable of challenging for the title immediately.
Manchester United — Warren Zaïre-Emery pursuit (€60m bid considered)
United are targeting PSG's Warren Zaïre-Emery, with a €60m bid reportedly under consideration. The 20-year-old French midfielder would represent a significant investment in the club's midfield rebuild.
Manchester City — Rodri uncertainty
City face a defining summer as Real Madrid reportedly pursue Rodri. The 30-year-old Spain star is considering both a move to the Bernabéu and a contract renewal offer at the Etihad.
Other key storylines
Barcelona have set a July 31 deadline for Atlético Madrid to accept their Julián Álvarez offer, while Chelsea continue to be linked with Juventus playmaker Kenan Yildiz as Alejandro Garnacho's future remains uncertain. Across the league, clubs are moving quickly before prices rise in August.
With more than two months remaining in the window, expect further escalation — the British record has already been broken once, and the summer's biggest moves may still be ahead.
