José Mourinho has spent big on reinforcements at Manchester United, with Brazilian midfielder Fred joining for £43.7m and right-back Diogo Dalot signed from Porto. Mourinho retains an interest in Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who could cost close to £100m. Anthony Martial appears set to leave.



Liverpool have been arguably the busiest of the top six, signing Fabinho and welcoming Naby Keïta to a revamped midfield now missing Emre Can. Attacking reinforcements are still required, with a move for Lyon’s Nabil Fekir stalling and Danny Ings set to depart. Tottenham have made another slow start to a summer window – but at least Harry Kane and manager Mauricio Pochettino have agreed new contracts.

Manchester City are yet to complete a signing but are closing in on long-term targets Jorginho and Riyad Mahrez. Chelsea remain in a state of flux with Maurizio Sarri poised to replace Antonio Conte. Goalkeeper Alisson and Aleksandr Golovin are among their targets.

West Ham have signed Toulouse centre-back Issa Diop for £22m, Swansea keeper Lukasz Fabianski for £7m and Ryan Fredericks and Jack Wilshere on free transfers. Leicester have bought Jonny Evans for £3.5m and Porto defender Ricardo Pereira for £17.5m. The Foxes also won the race for the highly-rated Norwich midfielder James Maddison.

Marco Silva is weighing up his options at Everton, with Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney among his targets. Burnley are also yet to sign anyone with their Europa League campaign kicking off soon. Newcastle fans never quite know what to expect from a transfer window, but the free signing of Ki Sung-yueng from Swansea looks a reasonable start.

Brighton were the league’s earliest movers, bringing in Nigeria defender Leon Balogun and Romanian striker Florin Andone in early June and adding versatile defender Bernardo for £9m. Huddersfield have completed permanent deals for Terrence Kongolo and goalkeeper Jonas Lössl, and also picked up Stoke’s Ramadan Sobhi for £5.7m.

Watford have bought Gerard Deulofeu from Barcelona, and spent another £7.5m on three players: Bologna full-back Adam Masina, Espanyol defender Marc Navarro and midfielder Ken Sema, who joins from Östersund. Crystal Palace have signed goalkeeper Vicente Guaita from Getafe on a free, but Yohan Cabaye has left.



Dusan Tadic has departed Southampton for Ajax, and Guido Carrillo has been loaned to Léganes. Celtic’s Stuart Armstrong and Basel winger Mohamed Elyounoussi have arrived for a combined £23m. Bournemouth have paid £11.5m to land Sheffield United playmaker David Brooks.





Wolves have added more big names to their squad, including Portugal’s No 1, Rui Patrício, and on-loan Mexico striker Raúl Jiménez. Fulham have not made any signings, while Cardiff have bought Josh Murphy, Alex Smithies, Greg Cunningham and striker Bobby Reid from Championship sides.



Serie A

After a nail-biting title race Juventus are prepared to spend big to stay on top. An audacious move for Cristiano Ronaldo has been launched and the champions have purchased Douglas Costa – he was already there on loan – and full-back João Cancelo. Emre Can arrives on a free, while £13m keeper Mattia Perin will battle for the No 1 jersey after Gigi Buffon’s departure.

Napoli will be without manager Sarri and midfielder Jorginho after narrowly missing out on the title but new head coach Carlo Ancelotti has begun rebuilding, signing Bologna’s forward Simone Verdi, Betis midfielder Fabián Ruiz and goalkeeper Alex Meret, who joins from Udinese for £31m.



Internazionale are back in the Champions League and have spent £33m on Radja Nainggolan and £20m on Argentinian prospect Lautaro Martínez, a striker. Defenders Stefan de Vrij and Kwadwo Asamoah have joined on frees. Milan have reined in their spending after falling foul of FFP rules but have added Pepe Reina, Ivan Strinic and Alen Halilovic on frees.

Roma sporting director Monchi has brought in nine players, including Javier Pastore and Justin Kluivert. Lazio have spent £12.5m on signings including Salzburg midfielder Valon Berisha.



Fiorentina have landed promising Toulouse goalkeeper Alban Lafont for £7.5m, while Cagliari have signed veteran defender Darijo Srna and Sassuolo have picked up Kevin-Prince Boateng on a free.

La Liga

In the six weeks since Real Madrid won their third straight Champions League, Zinedine Zidane has been replaced by Julen Lopetegui and Ronaldo has edged towards the exit. The club have also signed Real Sociedad full-back Álvaro Odriozola for £35m, young goalkeeper Andriy Lunin and Santos midfielder Rodrygo, who will arrive next summer.

It’s been a busy window at Atlético, too. Monaco’s Thomas Lemar will arrive for £52.7m and Antoine Griezmann has signed a new contract. Diego Simeone has also signed former academy player Rodri from Villarreal, and Argentinian defender Nehuen Pérez. Barcelona missed out on Griezmann but Brazilian midfielder Arthur has arrived for £35.5m. Another Brazilian, Paulino, has returned to Guangzhou Evergrande.

Valencia have signed Geoffrey Kondogbia after a loan and spent £13m on Lyon defender Mouctar Diakhaby. The sale of Cancelo means the club are in credit. Villarreal have been busy – Cazorla returns on a free, Ramiro Funes Mori joins from Everton, and forwards Gérard Moreno and Karl Toko Ekambi have been signed for £36m.



Real Betis were La Liga’s surprise success story last season and the free signings of Sergio Canales and World Cup star Takashi Inui look like excellent business. Across town, Sevilla have signed Lille’s Ibrahim Amadou and Swansea’s Roque Mesa.



Bundesliga

Bayern Munich got their main target in January, agreeing a deal to get Leon Goretzka from Schalke on a free. Schalke finished second last season and have spent smartly. Five players have been recruited for a total £25m, including Hannover centre-back Salif Sané and Hoffenheim forward Mark Uth.

Ahead of Julian Nagelsmann’s last season at Hoffenheim before the manager joins Leipzig, forwards Vincenzo Grifo and Leonardo Bittencourt have joined from Gladbach and Cologne. Dortmund are rebuilding under Lucien Favre, who has signed defender Abdou Diallo and Danish playmaker Thomas Delaney.



Brazilian winger Paulinho could be one to watch at Leverkusen, who have also brought in defender Mitchell Weiser and Frankfurt goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky. Leipzig have used the Keïta fee to sign Montpellier defender Nordi Mukiele and attacking talents Matheus Cunha and Marcelo Saracchi.



Ligue 1

Paris St-Germain will be among the heavy spenders again – having agreed a £160m fee for Kylian Mbappé with Monaco last summer – and signed Buffon on a free. Pastore has departed, along with Bilbao-bound Yuri Berchiche and striker Odsonne Édouard, who has joined Celtic. Monaco have continued to invest in youth, with 16-year-old Willem Geubbels joining from Lyon for £14m.

Lyon have signed Nantes full-back Léo Dubois for free, while Diakhaby has left for Valencia. Marseille have been linked with a move for Mario Balotelli, while Dimitri Payet may make a shock return to West Ham. Patrick Vieira’s Nice have signed midfielder Danilo from Braga, while Toulouse have made six signings including John Bostock from Bursaspor.
