The 2026 summer transfer window hasn't officially opened yet, but the rumour mill is already spinning at full speed with blockbuster moves on the horizon.
Mbappé Extends with Real Madrid
Real Madrid confirmed Kylian Mbappé's contract extension through 2029 following a spectacular season that included the La Liga title and a Champions League final appearance. The new deal includes a release clause of €1.2 billion.
Barcelona Chase Bellingham
Barcelona are reportedly in advanced talks with Jude Bellingham, who is said to be seeking a fresh challenge after four glittering years in Madrid. The reported fee of €200 million would test even Barca's recovering finances.
