Arsenal have locked in Mikel Arteta through 2026. The extension marks a significant step for the club after a strong campaign. Fabrizio Romano reported the agreement alongside several other updates from the past three days.
Barcelona secured Raphinha on a new contract running to 2026. The forward’s deal adds stability to the squad ahead of the season. Lewis Hall also extended his stay at Newcastle United under similar terms.
Safouane Benzahra completed a move to AS Monaco. The transfer is confirmed with the fee undisclosed. Alfred Gomis joined Vis Pesaro on a free transfer, finalising the switch from his previous club.
Alexander Blessin remains in advanced talks with Borussia Mönchengladbach. No agreement has been reached yet. Lionel Scaloni continues discussions over a new contract with Argentina, though nothing is signed.
These moves reflect a quiet period focused on extensions and lower-profile arrivals rather than major spending. Further updates are expected in the coming days as clubs finalise remaining targets.
