“There is serious talk going on with Henderson,” van ‘t Schip confirmed. “He still has some things to arrange in Saudi Arabia. It could be a nice match. It’s no secret that we could really use that type of player. Other guys can benefit from that.”

Still, there are reports that the Saudi club may be unwilling to let Henderson depart so soon after signing for them. Ajax are ideally looking to bring the midfielder in on a permanent deal, ruling out the option for a loan move. During his 12-year tenure at Liverpool, Henderson won the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.

Internationally, the 20,209 male player transfers conducted in 2022 represent an 11.6% rise from the previous year, while transfers involving female players almost doubled since 2018. English clubs topped the list in both categories for the most transfer funds spent.

Emilio Garcia Silvero, FIFA’s Chief Legal and Compliance officer, acknowledged that English transfer spending helped to rebound international figures following a two-year slump.

“The two-year negative trend in clubs’ spending on transfer fees was turned around in 2022, with last year’s total outlay reaching $6.5bn (£5.24bn), an increase of 33.5% compared to 2021, yet still below the all-time high of 2019,” Silvero explained.

Silvero also revealed that the number of clubs involved in international, cross-border transfers rose from 410 in 2021 to 500 in 2022; a 22% increase.

“We are really happy to have him,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta stated following the announcement. “He’s a player we have followed for a while now. The opportunity came — we had the necessity to have a player in the frontline that is versatile enough to play in different positions.”

The 28-year-old player proved to be a standout player for Brighton so far this season, scoring seven goals in 16 Premier League games including a hat-trick against Liverpool. He also played in the Belgium national team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Following his return from the World Cup, however, Trossard’s relationship with Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi had reportedly deteriorated. According to De Zerbi, he is regretful that there was a change in behavior, however, he remains confident that his team can continue to thrive without Trossard in the front line.

According to reports, the transfer is worth approximately €72 million, however, Endrick will only be able to move to Real Madrid once he turns 18 in 2024. The deal will be triggered during the 2024 transfer window.

The official announcement of the deal will only occur once the teenage rising star has signed the formal contract with Real Madrid and other formalities have all been decided.

Endrick’s contract with Madrid includes a €60 million release clause. Sources claim that €12 million was added to the sum as a means for Los Blancos to ward off competition from other clubs.

Prior to the Madrid deal, it was reported that Endrick was being pursued by Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. It is believed that the strategy that the Galacticos used to sign the Brazilian is similar in concept to that which was used to acquire Vinicius Jr. in 2017.

Having only made his full senior debut on October 6, Endrick helped Palmeiras to lift the 2022 Brasileirao title, becoming the club’s youngest goalscorer in the process.

Watzke explained that the club cannot compete with other elite clubs when it comes to offering the highest wages to Bellingham and thus understands should the player decide to depart the Bundesliga team.

“We will hold talks now, as soon as [the World Cup in] Qatar is over, and then we’ll have a fundamental talk about what he would like,” Watzke stated. “He just needs to tell us if he’d like to stay or if he’d like to go. In both cases we’ll talk about it very pleasantly and reasonably together. In general we can imagine that he’d stay with us, but we can’t behave as if this topic wasn’t on the table.”

Bellingham’s current contract with Dortmund is valid through 2025. While his going transfer fee is expected to be in the region of €100 million the English midfielder could fetch as much as €150 million depending on how heated the race for his signature becomes.

Atletico secured a loan deal for Olympique Lyon forward Moussa Dembele until this summer, adding a player that will serve as an alternative to Luis Suarez in their attack.

Dembele has not had the best of seasons for Lyon in 2020-21, scoring only 1 league goal in 16 appearances for the French side. He has had better luck in the Champions League and in cup competitions, chipping in 10 goals in those competitions in only 20 games.

The French forward will probably play a similar role for the La Liga leaders for the rest of the season, featuring in the team’s Champions League campaign and being a second-choice striker in their domestic competition.

The 24-year-old striker could potentially stick around in the Spanish capital after the remainder of this season, as the Colchoneros have a $41 million purchase option for his services if they want to make his deal permanent.

Dembele could debut for his new team as soon as their next league match at Eibar next Thursday.

Adu, who last played for the USL’s Las Vegas Knights in 2018, has inked a contract to return to the game in a very modest fashion, signing with a team in tiny Brantevik, Sweden which plays in the country’s third tier.

The 31-year-old player expressed his happiness with the deal on social media with a series of posts showing his excitement to sign for Osterlen.

Adu, once considered one of the world’s biggest soccer sensations, has seen his career fall into a downhill spiral over the past decade. After debuting for MLS’s DC United at the age of 14 in 2003, he then moved to Real Salt Lake before making a $2 million to Portuguese behemoths Benfica in 2007.

After failing to impress with Benfica, Adu went out on a series of unsuccessful loans to AS Monaco, Belenenses, Aris, and Çaykur Rizespor before returning to the MLS’s Philadelphia Union in 2011.

He then played two seasons with the Union, improving and scoring 7 goals in 35 matches before heading off to Brazil’s Bahia, where he flopped once again.

After short stints with Serbia’s Jagodina and Finland’s KuPS, Adu returned to the States where he spent three seasons playing for NASL and USL clubs, scoring only 1 goal in 27 matches.

Adu will now have one more, and perhaps the final, chance to get his career back on track at the age of 31 in the most modest of surroundings.

Rudiger, who has been rumored to be on the move from the London club ever since Chelsea added Thiago Silva from PSG, hasn’t appeared in any of Chelsea’s first three Premier League matches of the season. While figuring as a semi-regular in the 2019-20 season, playing in 20 Premier League matches, the German international generally played well.

PSG, Roma, and Barcelona are among the other teams who have been interested in Rudinger throughout the past few weeks, but Tottenham could be an attractive option for the 27-year-old center-back. Coach Jose Mourinho is said to be looking for a center-back to join alongside Davinson Sanchez, Juan Foyth, and Toby Alderweireld in the team’s roster.

Nonetheless, it might be difficult for Tottenham to end up signing Rudinger unless they are willing to pay for his signature on a permanent deal. Chelsea is unlikely to loan away a first-team player to a Premier League rival, and they might be more willing to send him away on a loan deal abroad for the current season.

The summer transfer window is set to close next Monday, October 5th.

Estupinan, whose goal this season was to move to a new team after his former team Watford was relegated from the Premier League last season, joins a Villarreal squad that will be competing in the Europa League competition this season and has top four goals in the La Liga season.

The Ecuador international, who signed for Watford back in 2017 but spent every season with the club on loan in Spain, got his first shot in La Liga and was a crucial part of a newly-promoted Osasuna side that surprisingly achieved a 10th place finish.

Estupinan played in 36 games, scoring one goal and providing six assists as he impressed with his lightning-quick speed and talent both in attack and while defending.

The 22-year-old player heads into the new season as the primary candidate at the left-back position after long-time starter Alberto Moreno suffered a knee injury in pre-season training which is expected to keep him out for the entire season.

Estupinan will debut either this weekend or the next for the Yellow Submarine.

Boavista, who will reportedly pay Cannon’s previous club FC Dallas a $3 million transfer fee, had established himself as one of the MLS’s top young talents in recent seasons.

In addition, Cannon has made 10 appearances for the US Men’s National Team since making his debut in 2018, and is considered to be a favorite for a potential 2022 World Cup spot.

The Chicago native, who joined FC Dallas back in 2017, was linked to several potential moves ahead of last season, but signed a four-year contract extension with the MLS club. However, it appears that Cannon is now ready to take his talents to Portugal, which is considered to have one of Europe’s top non-Big Five leagues.

Boavista, located in the city of Porto, finished in 12th place in Liga NOS last season and will be looking to improve on what was considered a disappointing campaign. Cannon is considered to be the favorite to step in and start for the team at the right-back position, even if it takes him a few weeks to get up to speed in his new home.

Boavista will open its season on Saturday, September 19th against Nacional.
