Real Madrid is expected to bring back Nico Paz, while Celje promotes internal talents, Gignac retires, Amorim pauses his career, and Barcelona delays Rashford's decision.
Real Madrid are preparing to open the summer transfer window with a familiar move, as Nico Paz is expected to become their first reinforcement for the 2026/27 season. The Argentine midfielder impressed at Como, and the Spanish club plan to activate their buy-back clause, although questions remain about his role in a crowded squad.
In Slovenia, Celje are looking inward for strength ahead of their next Champions League campaign. Under coach Vítor Campelos, Milot Avdyli and Pape Daniel have made strong progress and are seen as key internal reinforcements for the upcoming season.
There was also a major farewell in world football. André-Pierre Gignac has ended his career after leaving a lasting mark at Tigres, where he became one of the most influential foreign players in the history of Liga MX.
Meanwhile, Rúben Amorim has decided to step away from coaching for the time being. After a difficult spell at Manchester United, the Portuguese coach plans to take a longer break before choosing his next project.
At Barcelona, the situation remains uncertain. The club wants to continue working with Marcus Rashford, but financial restrictions linked to the 1:1 rule are delaying any concrete move. The message to the player is clear: patience is required while the club resolves its situation.
The transfer market is slowly taking shape, with early decisions already pointing to a busy summer across Europe.
