Liverpool reinforced its defensive line by acquiring Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes for £60 million and Victor Munoz from Osasuna for £34.5 million. The club also added Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Wien and released several senior players, including former captain Mohamed Salah, who has moved on to other opportunities.
Manchester United’s summer window included the high‑profile loan of Andrey Santos from Chelsea, along with the signing of Karl Darlow from Leeds for a nominal fee. The club also made a number of free‑transfer signings and released several players to clear space for new talent.
Tottenham Hotspur’s activity centered on the acquisition of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle for a reported £100 million, and the signing of Mateo Fernandes from West Ham for £85 million. The club also brought in several loan players and released a number of squad members to streamline the roster.
Brighton & Hove Albion has strengthened its midfield with the signing of Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham for £50 million and added other players on free transfers, while releasing a number of younger prospects and fringe players. The club’s transfer activity reflects a focus on long‑term development and tactical flexibility.
Other Premier League clubs have engaged in a mix of loan deals, free transfers, and modest fee negotiations. Teams such as Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and Crystal Palace have added depth through a combination of high‑value signings and budget‑friendly acquisitions, while also offloading players to balance wage structures and squad sizes.
With the transfer window still open until early September, clubs are expected to continue refining their squads. The market remains dynamic, with further high‑profile moves anticipated as teams aim to secure their positions for the upcoming season.
