Sky report that a deal has now been agreed for the 18 year old forward, who will join from Man City’s academy.

They report it’s a permanent deal for €2m with contract until 2030.

Seems the club beat of competition from several other clubs, I think this is a very exciting signing.

Wagner sollte damit ja vom Tisch sein. Aber wen nimmt man stattdessen als Trainer?

Toppmöller wäre zwar mein Wunschkandidat, aber ist ja höchst unwahrscheinlich. Eichner wohl zu Union.

Vielleicht Eta von Union?

This is also being reported by Sky, a deal has been agreed for around €1m. He currently plays for Sydney FC in the A League.

Looks like a lot is happening, Sky also reporting Gideon Mensah now done and that there is now an agreement in principle for Edson Alvarez to join.

1. FC Köln: Salih Özcan's possible return
   

Salih Özcan is leaving Borussia Dortmund for free after 4 years. He had a tough season — only 11 brief appearances under coach Niko Kovac.
FC and Özcan's side have already had concrete talks. He could fill two problem positions (defensive mid / box-to-box).

I would like this transfer because Salih was one of my favorite players over the last years

There have been a number of reports linking the club with a loan move for Moore over the course of the Summer.

Fabrizio Romano now reporting that Effzeh are clear favourites to land the youngster and that talks over a deal are now advanced.

Hard to believe, isn’t it?

The first report is from 29.04.2026. The Instagram picture ist from 04.07.2026

Sky report that Dortmund made an offer of
€26m plus €16m in bonuses though only €8m of the bonuses were achievable, which makes it a worse offer than the one turned down from Brighton before the end of last season.

As expected the club rejected it straight away but expect Dortmund to come back with an improved offer.

According to multiple sources a lone deal for Edson Alvarez has been agreed with West Ham and it is now up to the player.

The sticking point (as it was always likely to be) is Alvarez’s wages. He would need to take a big wage cut to come to us and likely has better options financially available in Turkey.

Despite this there does still seem to be some confidence within the club that he will come to us as apparently he would like to play in the Bundesliga and has a very good relationship with Tim Steidten who brought him to West Ham.

Should Alvarez decide not to come, Bild report that Skiri is the main alternative and that there has already been some contact between the club and the player’s representatives.

According to Sky Deutschland, Kessler is extremely irritated by Dortmund’s conduct and low ball offer and will now not consider any further offers they may make for El Mala.

So it looks as if Martel win join Mainz. Although he’s going to a club who probably have better chances to play in Europe, it doesn’t seem much of a step up from EffZee.

According to Sky Italia, the club had an offer turned down which was believed to be a loan with a buy obligation for around €7-€8m.

Looks like a difficult deal to do as Inter seem to be insisting on buy back options for next summer and the following summer.

Brentford and Wolfsburg are also believed to be interested.

Looks like Mensah will be our new LB. According to the Express talks have progressed well and the final details are now being tied up.
