Hottest Transfer Updates for this Transfer Window

Some of the hottest transfer updates that made the news these past few months include the following:

Mbappé’s Move from PSG to Real Madrid

One of the biggest transfers that happened in club football was Kylian Mbappé from PSG to Real Madrid. He left PSG as a free agent after the expiration of his contract at the club. The captain for the France national team signs a five-year contract with Real Madrid, which is worth £12.8 million a year after the deduction of tax. In addition to this, he will get a signing bonus of £85 million from Real Madrid.

This is one of the moves everyone thought should have happened before now. The French man waited till the expiration of his contract at PSG before making this move. Despite a disappointing outing in the just-concluded European Cup, Mbappé is still one of the best players in the world.

Tosin Adarabioyo’s Move to Chelsea

Tosin’s move from Fulham to Chelsea is another transfer news that caught the attention of a lot of people. He signed a four-year contract with the Blues on the 7th of June 2024. Following the news that Thiago Silver is set to leave Chelsea, the Blues must find a suitable replacement for him. Tosin will have to step up and work with other defenders to build a formidable team next season and beyond.

Leny Yoro’s Move to Manchester United

Manchester United were also in the news for signing former Lille player – Leny Yoro. The 18-year-old French defender joined the Red Devils on a five-year contract deal with an option to extend for another year. He was a key player that helped Lille finish fourth in the league. Manchester United struggled in some games last season due to the injuries of its defenders. For example, Casemiro had to play as a defender in some games because some of the defenders were unable to play due to injuries. With the addition of Yoro to the squad, the team’s defense line should be unstoppable next season.

Amadou Onana’s Move to Aston Villa

Aston Villa signed Onana from Everton for a £50 million fee. The 22-year-old midfielder joined Everton from Lille in 2022 and played in 72 games and scored four goals. Unai Emery has been in the market to find a suitable replacement for Douglas Luiz, who just completed a move to Juventus for a £42.35 million fee. Onana has to step in to fill the position of Luiz at Aston Villa.

Douglas Luiz Joins Juventus From Aston Villa

Another big move that happened this summer was Douglas Luiz’s transfer to Juventus for a €50 million fee. He joined Juventus on a five-year deal after playing for Aston Villa for five years. Luiz was impressive for Aston Villa throughout his stay at Villa Park, as he scored 22 goals in 204 appearances and created lots of chances. Aston Villa finished in fourth position on the table, which means they have qualified for the Champions League next season.
