Inter Milan said Saturday they have signed 21-year-old French striker Ange-Yoan Bonny from Serie A rivals Parma. Italian media reported that Bonny had joined on a four or five-year contract with Inter, who reportedly paid Parma 23 million euros (£20m), a figure that could rise to 26 million (£22.4m). Ange-Yoan, a 6-foot-2 French under-21 international, scored six goals and provided four assists last season for Parma. This summer, Inter, who finished second in Serie A and were thrashed in the Champions League final by Paris Saint-Germain, have also hired coach Cristian Chivu to succeed Simone Inzaghi and bought Brazilian winger Luis Henrique from Marseille for 23m euros. On Monday, Inter were eliminated in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup by Fluminense of Brazil.

Besiktas have signed Tammy Abraham on a season-long loan from AS Roma, with an option to make the move permanent. The Turkish side confirmed the 27-year-old striker passed his medical on Tuesday. They will pay Roma a €2 million loan fee for the 2025/26 season, with the deal including a €13 million purchase option starting from 2026/27. That fee will be paid in instalments until 2030 if the option is activated. Abraham joined Roma in 2021 for €41 million from Chelsea and played a key role in their 2022 Europa Conference League triumph. He recently scored 10 goals during a loan spell at AC Milan  in the 2024/25 season.

Barcelona have confirmed that Wojciech Szczesny has signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until 2027, raising serious questions about Marc-André ter Stegen’s long-term future at Camp Nou. In a statement released Monday, Barça praised Szczesny’s “great season between the sticks,” noting the unusual circumstances surrounding his arrival. The 35-year-old was coaxed out of retirement in October 2024 following Ter Stegen’s long-term knee injury, and went on to become a key figure as Barcelona secured both La Liga and the Copa del Rey titles. Szczesny’s decision to stay and Barça signing goalkeeper Joan Garcia from Espanyol earlier in the summer casts doubt over Ter Stegen’s future at the club. The German international, 33, commands a high salary at Barcelona, and Spanish media reports the financially struggling club would like to make savings in that regard. Barça signed Garcia from Espanyol for €26.34 million (£22.6 million) on a six-year deal in June, and also still have another goalkeeper in Inaki Pena on the books.

Anthony Elanga is set to become Newcastle’s first major signing of the transfer window after the Magpies reportedly agreed a £55 million deal with Nottingham Forest. The Athletic, BBC and Sky Sports all reported on Tuesday that the Swedish international is on his way to St James’ Park. Elanga was one of the stars of Forest‘s surprise seventh-placed finish in the Premier League last season, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists. Forest paid just £15m to sign Elanga from Manchester United two years ago. Newcastle‘s attempts to strengthen their squad in preparation for a return to the Champions League next season have so far been frustrated. Despite being backed by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the League Cup winners have been limited in what they can spend in recent seasons by financial sustainability rules.

Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Japanese centre-back Kota Takai from J-League side Kawasaki Frontale on a five-year deal. The 20-year-old joins for a reported fee of £5 million, though financial details were not officially disclosed. Takai, who came through Frontale’s academy, played in their Asian Champions League Elite campaign and featured in the final defeat to Al Ahli in May. He has also earned four senior caps for Japan. He becomes Spurs’ third centre-back signing this summer, following Luka Vuskovic and Kevin Danso. Tottenham are aiming to rebuild after winning the Europa League last season but finishing 17th in the Premier League.
