The transfer window hasn’t officially opened, but clubs are already pushing deals through ahead of the upcoming new season. We're eager to cover every deal as it unfolds, whether it's shocking or expected. Here are the top five stories in the news today.
Jose Mourinho signs for Fenerbahçe.
Former Chelsea, Manchester United, and Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has signed with Turkish side Fenerbahce on a two-year deal.
Earlier in the year, AS Roma fired the Portuguese coach due to a string of indifferent results, leading to links with Chelsea and Manchester United's dugout. However, he has now secured a position with the Turkish outfit.
Chelsea is eyeing a move for Sesko.
Serbian forward Benjamin Sesko has been linked with Arsenal all along, with the Gunners believed to be preparing a move for the lanky striker, but news from London suggests Chelsea could be set to hijack the deal.
It won’t be the first time that the Blues step into a race involving players wanted by Arsenal, with Mhykailo Mudryk coming to mind, but will the RB Liepzig man choose Conference League football over Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal?
Mbappe will be joining Real Madrid.
There’s no plot twist in one of the most dramatic transfer news stories ever; the Kyllian Mbappe saga is about to come to an end with Real Madrid and the player meeting to finalise a free transfer.
Mbappe left PSG last week after a record-breaking career at the capital club, and he will next week conclude his long-awaited move to Real Madrid. We will announce details soon, but Los Blancos will finally have their man.
Antonio Conte arrives at Napoli.
We can confirm that former Juventus and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has joined SS Napoli on a three-year deal.
The former Scudetto champions endured a tough season under three separate managers, and they now hope to hang on to their super stars like Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Antonio Di Lorenzo, who must all be key parts of the Conte rebuild.
Inter extends the Lautaro and Barella agreements.
Italian champions Inter Milan have both tied the title-winning duo of Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella to longer contracts.
The duo were huge parts of Inter Milan’s title success, with Martinez winning the Golden Boot and Barella featuring in the team of the season. Both have extended their Inter contracts until 2028, with mega-release clauses available if anyone is interested.
