It feels like a good while since we last did one of these videos, the transfer roundup.
It's been so hectic really with the World Cup, which is great, which is absolutely fantastic.
But the transfer market does take a bit of a backseat during this time, understandably so.
You wanna see the action on the pitch rather than the potential transfers that are happening off of it.
But it's been about a week now, so I thought, you know what?
Now is the time.
Now is the time to dive back in with all the transfer rumors.
So here are all of the big transfer rumors going on right now, as well as all of the done deals that have been completed over the past week or so.
England captain Harry Kane will sign a new contract at Bayern Munich, despite interest from Barcelona during this window.
Also, in Bavaria, their winger, Michael Olise, is aware that several clubs, including Real Madrid, as has been long rumored, as well as PSG, are keeping a keen eye on his performances for France during this World Cup, with the 24-year-old set to meet with the German side after the tournament to discuss his future.
Will he stay?
Will he go?
Let me know in the comments below.
Of course, Manchester City, they announced that Enzo Maresca is going to be their new head coach in their post-Pep Guardiola era.
And to be fair, if you're gonna get a Guardiola replacement, the guy kinda looks like him, really.
But on the potential outs, there are many when it comes to the Etihad Stadium.
The likes of Rico Lewis, Nathan Ak, Neco Gonzlez, Ruben Dias, and Savinho are all up for sale during this window.
But on the ins for Manchester City when it comes to players, of course, the big rumor right now is Elliott Anderson from Nottingham Forest, who is set to sign for Manchester City for a club record 116 million pounds.
Is he worth that much?
Well, at the end of the day, it's all relative.
He's gonna cost a little bit more than the likes of Enzo Fernndez and Moiss Caicedo for Chelsea, and I'd say he's a much better player than either of those two, particularly Fernndez.
But I know that's a controversial opinion.
Different kind of player as well, let's be totally honest.
Also, on the potential ins for City, they are ready to hijack Tottenham Hotspur's move for Sandro Tonali, despite having already agreed to sign Anderson during this window.
City are looking like they're gonna spend big during this window.
Could they make a challenge for the Premier League in its Enzo Maresca's first season?
Let me know your thoughts down below about that, too.
Speaking of clubs that have new managers, Chelsea, they are set to sign their first new player of the Xabi Alonso era, Marco Pelestra from Atalanta over in Italy, for a fee in excess of 43 million pounds.
AC Milan are interested in signing Mason Mount from Manchester United, but Man United do not want to sell the English midfielder.
Borussia Dortmund's German midfielder, Felix Nmecha, is ready to reject a move from Newcastle because he actually prefers to go to Manchester United.
Bournemouth have rejected an inquiry from Arsenal for the availability of Alex Scott, saying that he is not for sale for any price this summer.
And the last rumor for you guys, Tyrique George is set to sign on a permanent deal with Everton, where, of course, he was on loan during last season.
That option to buy is set to be around 25 million pounds.
And now for all the done deals over the past week or so, guys.
The big one being that Robert Lewandowski has confirmed where he is going this season coming up.
Of course, we knew that he was leaving Barcelona upon the expiry of his contract, and he's heading over to the MLS, Major League Soccer, to sign for Chicago Fire.
There was also interest in him from the likes of AC Milan in Italy, and also, of course, the Saudi Pro League.
But the Pole has decided to go Stateside.
That is an absolute coup for the Fire, in my opinion.
That could really fire them right up the table.
Oh, let's, let's keep going.
Piero Hincapi, of course, he was on loan at Arsenal last season, but he's now signed permanently from Bayer Leverkusen for 40 million euros, which is around 34 and a half million pounds.
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign goalkeeper Martin Dbravka on a free transfer from recently relegated Burnley.
That is when his contract expires on the 1st of July.
I don't think he'll get much first team action, but he has proven to be a handy shot stopper for the likes of Burnley over the years.
Leeds United have completed an incredible signing as well, in my opinion.
They have signed Harry Wilson from Fulham.
Of course, Wilson, one of the standouts of the season last season, in my opinion, very much kept Fulham in the hunt for European football through most of the campaign.
Could he do the same for the Whites this season?
Let me know down below.
But yeah, some huge signings there, guys.
I mean, Leeds fans, how are you feeling about Wilson?
Let me know your thoughts about all of that in the comments below.
