Player Departures and Future Moves
In a significant development, Axel Disasi is expected to leave Chelsea this summer, following a mutual decision that a permanent exit is the best option. Disasi, who joined from Monaco for £38.5 million in 2023, spent the latter half of the season on loan at West Ham, where he was unable to prevent the club’s relegation.
Arsenal is also reportedly interested in Newcastle’s right-back Tino Livramento, who is valued at approximately €60 million. This figure may exceed what Arsenal is willing to invest.

In other transfer news, Bournemouth is considering a move for Mathys Tel, who has struggled for consistent playing time at Tottenham since his arrival from Bayern Munich for £35 million. Meanwhile, West Ham’s Soungotou Magassa is attracting interest from several clubs across Europe, including Juventus, Galatasaray, and Frankfurt, as the Hammers may need to sell high-value assets following their relegation.
International Interest in Players
Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly set to make a move for Michael Olise, with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid also expressing interest. Any potential deal for Olise is expected to exceed £100 million.
Lastly, Ipswich Town is looking at Gayr O’Neil as a potential replacement for Keiran McKenna, who recently stepped down. O’Neil, currently managing Strasbourg, has expressed dissatisfaction with the club’s management and could be tempted by an offer from Ipswich.
Conclusion
As the summer transfer window approaches its conclusion, clubs are under pressure to secure their desired signings. The next few hours will be crucial for teams looking to bolster their squads ahead of the World Cup.
