Overview
- Manchester City completed the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint‑Germain, with reports citing a €28 million fee plus bonuses and a five‑year deal worth about €15 million per season.
- Juventus confirmed Loïs Openda’s arrival from RB Leipzig on a temporary deal with purchase conditions, with reports indicating a total outlay in the mid‑€40 million range if the option becomes an obligation.
- Edon Zhegrova joined Juventus after medicals in Turin, with local reports pricing the transfer at about €14.3 million plus add‑ons and ancillary costs.
- Juventus abandoned a months‑long pursuit of Randal Kolo Muani after PSG did not accept their proposal, then failed to land Jonathan Clauss when Nice rejected a loan, leaving a gap on the right flank.
- The window closed with Italian clubs leaning on loans, options and staggered payments, while the Premier League’s heavy spending—highlighted by Liverpool’s record outlay—reshaped valuations across Europe.
