Overview

• Manchester City completed the permanent signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG, a deal reported at €28 million plus bonuses on a five‑year contract with a reported €15 million annual salary.
• Juventus announced Loïs Openda on loan from RB Leipzig with a purchase option that can become an obligation, with an initial fee around €3.3–4 million and a potential total outlay reported at roughly €40–45 million after their Kolo Muani bid fell through.
• Edon Zhegrova joined Juventus following medicals at J‑Medical, in a transfer reported at €14.3 million plus add‑ons, giving Igor Tudor an additional wide option in attack.
• Juventus failed in a late move for right‑back Jonathan Clauss after Nice rejected a loan proposal, leaving the squad short on the right flank heading into the autumn.
• Clubs leaned heavily on loans and conditional clauses to manage finances, while Premier League outlays—highlighted by Liverpool’s roughly €490 million window including Alexander Isak for about €150 million—pushed valuations across the market.
