Saudi clubs take interest in Borussia Mönchengladbach pariah Tomas Cvancara
Two reliable German sources – RTL/ntv and Sport1 – report that there's interest from the Arabian Peninsula. An unnamed Saudi Pro League side could help Gladbach recoup some of the €10.5m they once paid for their intended replacement for Marcus Thuram.

Having scored just six goals in 49 Bundesliga appearances over the last two seasons, Cvancara's estimated market value has plummeted from €12m to €4m. Gladbach have other options in mind for the attacking corps and will hope to shed themselves of their team pariah quickly.
Sport1 does note that Cvancara himself still considers himself worthy of one of Europe's top five leagues. Whether or not a Serie A, Ligue 1, the Premier League, or La Liga suitor can be found nevertheless remains to be seen.

Dortmund could make an approach to United for Jadon Sancho
Borussia Dortmund is reportedly assessing their conditions and also discussing internally. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 29, 2025, 18:44 IST Borussia Dortmund is reportedly assessing their conditions and also discussing internally on whether to make a bid for Jadon Sancho or not in this transfer window. Jadon Sancho has been left out of United's squad for the pre-season tour to give him time to find a new club for him. Dortmund is not sure about making an approach for the forward. United are asking €20 million for Sancho and Juventus also seem to be interested. The English winger, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Signal Iduna Park, has been left out of Manchester United's pre-season tour as the club looks to facilitate his departure. United are demanding around €20 million for Sancho, a fee that Dortmund are believed to be considering carefully as they evaluate their squad needs and financial flexibility. While the Bundesliga side is yet to make an official approach, they remain a potential destination given Sancho's successful past spell at the club. Juventus have also shown interest, which could spark competition for his signature. With Sancho seeking regular playing time away from Old Trafford, his future could become one of the key talking points in the remaining weeks of the transfer window.

Man City reject £25m transfer bid for in-demand starlet
Man City have reportedly rejected a £25 million transfer bid from Nottingham Forest for James McAtee. The midfielder, who can also play on the wing, has just one year remaining on his contract and has been linked with clubs in the Premier League and Bundesliga. Crystal Palace, Borussia Dortmund, Everton, West Ham United and Eintracht Frankfurt are said to interested in signing the 22-year-old, who scored three goals in 15 Premier League appearances last season. He scored another three goals during City's run to the FA Cup final, although he was not involved in either the semi-final win over Forest or defeat to Palace in the final. Man City reject £25m James McAtee transfer bid from Nottingham Forest With McAtee's future up in the air, Forest submitted a bid of £25m, but it was rejected by Man City, according to Sky Sports News. The report adds that the player's representatives have travelled to Germany for 'talks' with Eintracht. McAtee himself reportedly visited the club earlier this month as his exit looms large. The youngster may be seeking guaranteed gametime next season after City signed Rayan Cherki, who will likely compete with him for minutes, from Lyon for an initial transfer fee of £30.45m. The Telegraph previously reported that City value McAtee at around £35m. Any fee that the club receive for the academy graduate would be booked as pure profit under the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules. Meanwhile, Sky Sports News also report that Celtic are 'in talks' to sign Man City centre-back Jahmai Simpson-Pusey. The clubs are 'discussing terms' on a season-long loan deal. A number of English clubs are also 'keen' on the 19-year-old, but City will only entertain loan offers. City have also agreed a loan deal with Hull City for teenage winger Joey Ndala.

Xhaka 'solid' and brings quality to Sunderland
The probable arrival of Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka is a "huge signing" and "fantastic news" for Sunderland, believes former striker Marco Gabbiadini. The Black Cats have agreed a £13m deal to sign the 32-year-old from Bayer Leverkusen, with a potential £4m in add-ons. After spending seven years at Arsenal in the Premier League, he moved to Levekusen in 2023 and won the Bundesliga in his first season. "He is a huge signing," Gabbiadini said. "He has obviously seen a connection that he thinks he can make. It is fantastic news for us. "He is a brilliant tournament player for Switzerland and is exactly the all-rounder that we need. He has quality but also that little bit of nastiness and tenacity that you need. That is what he epitomises. He is solid - as his name suggests. "It is going to be a big issue for us this year - that physicality in the middle of the park and Xhaka will bring that. With all the games he has played in the Premier League, he is a very exciting prospect." Xhaka has plenty of experience in England, scoring 23 goals in 297 appearances for the Gunners and helping them win the FA Cup twice. On whether Xhaka is a better signing than former Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson, who has joined Brentford this summer, Gabbiadini added: "That is up for debate. We won't know until we see. They are similar players in many respects and they both have a goal in them. "The biggest issue for us is how many games he is going to play. Injuries haven't been a big issue for him, sometimes you just get players like that. That is a huge bonus for us as well." Listen to the full interview on BBC Sounds
