The 2026 Summer Window So Far: Every Confirmed Transfer We've Stocked

Deadline day is 1 September, which means we're deep into the business end of the window without quite being at the sprint-finish stage yet. We've been running day-by-day roundups as deals land, but with this much movement it felt worth stepping back and pulling the whole window into one place. Here's every confirmed transfer since the summer opened, and where you can find the name on a hoodie.

Chelsea have outspent everyone

No club has moved like Chelsea this summer. Five confirmed signings and counting: Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa for £118.7m — the biggest fee of the window so far and the most expensive Premier League transfer of the summer — plus Valentin Barco (£34m from Strasbourg), Maxence Lacroix (from Crystal Palace), Danny Welbeck (from Brighton) and Jordan Henderson on a free transfer from Brentford. Whatever Enzo Maresca is building at Stamford Bridge, it isn't subtle.

Records keep falling in Italy

Serie A has had its own record-breaking summer. AC Milan broke their own transfer record to sign Goncalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain for €70m, a real statement from Ruben Amorim's rebuild. Meanwhile Como — yes, newly promoted Como — paid a Serie A record fee to sign Nico Paz from Real Madrid for £60m, arguably the most eyebrow-raising deal of the window regardless of division.

Free transfers that still moved the market

Not every headline deal comes with a fee attached. John Stones left Manchester City on a free after nine trophy-laden years, joining Serie A champions Inter Milan. Jordan Henderson's free move to Chelsea (above) belongs in this bracket too — proof that out-of-contract doesn't mean low-profile this summer.

The rest of the confirmed business

Bayern Munich added Morocco international Ismael Saibari for €55m on the back of a big World Cup, fresh off the same week Newcastle completed Lukas Hornicek from Braga for €30.6m. Barcelona brought in Newcastle's Anthony Gordon for €70m as part of their forward-line reshuffle. Nathan Aké's six years at Manchester City ended with a move to Fenerbahce, Aston Villa took Alejandro Garnacho on loan from Chelsea with an obligation to buy, Bournemouth added Portugal international Antonio Silva for £25.7m, and World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann closed out his European career with a move to Orlando City at 35.

On our radar, no shirt yet

Manchester City's club-record £116.1m deal for Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest is one of the standout stories of the window, and Como's Nico Paz deal above is the other big one — we just don't have product live for either yet. Both are on the list.


That's the window so far. We publish a fresh roundup as deals land — keep an eye on Transfer News for what's confirmed, and Transfer Gossip for what's still just being reported. Know a move we've missed? Tell us and we'll get the name on a hoodie.
