In the clubs, the planning for the coming season is in full swing. All important news in the transfer ticker.
This year’s transfer summer has it all. This is because the clubs are allowed to sign players for the first time in two different periods. Due to the club World Cup, the first transfer window for the participating clubs was open from June 1st to June 10th. The regular transfer window then extends from July 1st to September 1st.
Manchester City apparently plans to sell Jack Grialish and is ready to accept a significant financial loss. According to the English media reports, the association would let the 29-year-old offensive player go from an offer of £ 40 million (around 46 million euros) after he was hired by Aston Villa for 117.5 million euros in 2021. This would mean a loss of around 71.5 million euros.
Geralish, who was still shining with impressive performances in the Triple season of the “Skyblues” in 2023, was unable to build on these successes last season. Due to the injury, he only completed 32 competitive operations and scored three goals. Trainer Pep Guardiola commented on the player’s situation in June: “The only reason why he did not get a member of the application was – I was not because he had behaved wrong or anything else. I just want the best for Jack.”
Despite his low season, several top clubs should show interest in Geralish, including Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and the Italian champion SSC Naples. A return to his youth club Aston Villa is also considered possible. If Geralish should actually become such a transfer bargain, FC Bayern may also have to think about him. However, its high content of around £ 300,000 (approx. 348,000 euros) could be an obstacle to potential transfers per week.
Werder Bremen watches Paul Wanner from FC Bayern Munich. The offensive midfielder worked in the 2023/2024 season under Neu-coach Horst Steffen at SV Elversberg-and left a strong impression there. Fisnik Asllani from TSG Hoffenheim is also a candidate. Steffen said at the start of the training: “These are certainly boys who are very interesting that I think is good.”
In Bremen, there is at least still for reinforcements for the attack, the central midfield and the right defense. So far, only central defenders Maximilian Wöber has been hired.
FC St. Pauli is driving its squad planning for the coming season. The Hamburgers are strengthening with Andréas Hountondji, the 22 -year -old attacker comes on a loan for the 2025/26 season from the English club FC Burnley. Most recently, the Beninian international was loaned at Standard Liège, where he scored four goals in 18 missions in Belgium’s first division and prepared two more.
