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.
Arsenal has signed the world’s most expensive goalkeeper in the world. The Gunners, club of national player Kai Havertz, hired Kepa Arrizabalaga from Ligarival FC Chelsea. The 30 -year -old Spaniard now only costs around six million euros.

Last season, the 19-year-old junior international played 20 games in the regional league Bayern with the FCB II and was in the squad of the U19 national team at the European Championship. “With Max Schmitt we get a very talented goalkeeper who has already demonstrated his skills at a very high level,” said SSV managing director Markus Thiele.
Vice champion VfL Wolfsburg has hired U19 European champion Judit Pujols from FC Barcelona. The 20 -year -old Spanish full -back signed a contract until 2028 and is already the eleventh new addition of the wolf this summer.
Pujols was trained in the Catalans, played 76 games for the second team and was also used in the Champions League in 2023 – including against Wolfsburg. She also celebrated success with the Spanish juniors: in 2022 she became the U17 world champion, in 2023 and 2024 she won the European Championship with the U19.
