The new season may have commenced in many top European leagues but there will still be a huge focus on the transfer market over the next week, as teams look to strengthen before the deadline on the first day of September.
As always, Premier League teams have spent heavily so far.
Manchester United have signed Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko to revamp their attack, with Manchester City also flexing their financial power to sign Tijani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Rayan Cherki.
Arsenal have been very busy, too, bringing in Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard and Cristhian Mosquera.
The biggest deal so far this summer saw Florian Wirtz complete a blockbuster transfer to Liverpool from Leverkusen, while they also brought in Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth and Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong from the Bundesliga. Luis Diaz went in the other direction, signing for German giants Bayern Munich.
The transfer saga of the summer involves Alexander Isak, who is attempting to force through a departure from Newcastle to Liverpool.

Sancho happy to sit and not play at United?
It seems Jadon Sancho is happy to sit on his exorbitant wages at Man Utd despite not playing under Ruben Amorim.
Roma transfer chief Frederic Massara was scathing of the player’s attitude regarding a transfer to the Serie A giants that didn’t materialise.
“Sancho is a strong player, who was linked with all the Italian clubs,” Massara told SportMediaset.
“At the moment, a move is only a suggestion because it doesn’t seem as if there are the right conditions and above all, the motivation to carry on these negotiations.”
He is paid around €300,000 (£250,000) per week at Old Trafford.
Hincapie set to leave Leverkusen
Piero Hincapie broke down in tears following Leverkusen’s 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim at the weekend as it will likely be his final game for the club.
Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Deutschland reports on X: “Piero Hincapie has decided to leave Bayer 04 Leverkusen if a suitable offer arrives. The decision has been made.
“Hincapie has a release clause in his contract, as exclusively revealed, worth €60 million. Leverkusen still want to keep their 23-year-old top centre-back.”

Amorim plays down Mainoo exit rumours
Ruben Amorim has seemingly played down suggestions that Kobbie Mainoo could leave Man Utd.
“We have some issues, but we play with two midfielders and sometimes it’s a different way of playing,” the United boss told reporters on Friday.
“We, and they, have to understand, especially the young players, there is spaces in the season. This is normal with a lot of games, things are going to change, but he’s there, he’s fighting, he’s training and is one more option for us to win games.”
Mainoo has been linked with Tottenham this week.
