All completed Manchester City transfers so far in 2025-26
Manchester City is heading into the summer transfer window with a clear goal: to strengthen the squad after a disappointing season by their high standards. Despite finishing third in the Premier League, there were concerns about potentially missing out on a Champions League spot, and even speculation surrounding Pep Guardiola's future. While the team finished the season strongly, the club is expected to be quite active in the transfer market to ensure they can compete for top honours in the upcoming term. With the summer transfer window now open, GOAL brings you all the completed Manchester City transfers for the 2025-26 season, below. New signings summer 2025 window Tijjani Reijnders completed his £46m transfer from AC Milan, while City announced the signing of Rayan Cherki on a five-year contract from Lyon for a fee of €36m plus €6m in potential add-ons. Additionally, Rayan Ait-Nouri completed a £31 million transfer from Wolves. Marcus Bettinelli has been signed as a backup goalkeeper from Chelsea. Manchester City signed Sverre Nypan from Rosenborg for £12.5 million ($17m). The Cityzens will not move for Tino Livramento, but will continue pursuing a possible deal for Barcelona full-back Jules Kounde. Other than approaching Burnley over goalkeeper James Trafford, Man City's interest to land Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG is apparent. Long-term replacements for Ilkay Gundogan and Mateo Kovacic may also be required.

Owen Farrell returns to Lions bench. Andy Farrell makes 3 changes to starting XV for second test
MELBOURNE, Australia — Owen Farrell has been selected on the bench in a British and Irish Lions overhaul for the second test against Australia that includes three changes to the starting lineup that won the first test 27-19 in Brisbane last weekend. Farrell led the Lions in their last midweek tour game — a win over the First Nations and Pasifika squad — and is now set to make his first test appearance since England's World Cup campaign in 2023 on Saturday. He is on his fourth Lions tour. His father, head coach Andy Farrell, recalled Bundee Aki to start at inside center to replace Sione Tuipulotu in the only change to the starting backline. England's Ollie Chessum was drafted in to partner skipper Maro Itoje as a replacement for injured Ireland lock Joe McCarthy and Andrew Porter replaced Ellis Genge at loosehead, giving the Lions an all-Ireland frontrow. Joining Owen Farrell on the bench will be Jac Morgan, restoring a Welsh player to the test squad after an historic absence last weekend. Ireland midfielder Garry Ringrose was a late exclusion from the second test starting lineup after reporting symptoms of concussion, allowing Huw Jones to retain his spot at outside center. Ringrose missed the first test for similar reasons. 'We have put ourselves in a good position after the first test, but we know there will be a massive reaction from this Wallaby team,' Andy Farrell said. 'We will have to be a lot better than we were last week.' The Wallabies need a win on Saturday in Melbourne to keep the three-test series alive. Australia coach Joe Schmidt made three changes to his starting pack with blindside flanker Rob Valetini and lock Will Skelton and hooker David Porecki all returning from injuries to add some size and weight. Tom Lynagh will again start in the pivotal No. 10 jersey in an unchanged backline after making his starting debut last week. Langi Gleeson returns as forward cover on the eight-man reserves bench which only has two backs — scrumhalf Tate McDermott and utility Ben Donaldson. Australia trailed 24-5 two minutes into the second half last week in Brisbane but rallied to close the margin to eight points. 'The squad has recovered well after a very physical first test,' Schmidt said. 'We took some confidence from the second half last week, but we know we'll need to improve further against a Lions team that will bring plenty of fire to the contest.' The Lions are now 7-0 in Australia, including the victory in the first test and wins over Super Rugby franchises Western Force,Queensland Reds , Waratahs and Brumbies and two invitational teams. The Lions have taken leads into the Melbourne match in the last two tours to Australia in 2001 and 2013 but lost the second test there both times. In 2001, Australia rallied to clinch the series in Sydney in the third test. The Lions won the Sydney decider 12 years ago. ___ Squads: Australia: Tom Wright, Max Jorgensen, Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i, Len Ikitau, Harry Potter, Tom Lynagh, Jake Gordon; Harry Wilson (captain), Fraser McReight, Rob Valetini, Nick Frost, Allan Ala'alatoa, David Porecki, James Slipper. Reserves: Billy Pollard, Angus Bell, Tom Robertson, Jeremy Wiliams, Langi Gleeson, Carlo Tizzano, Tate McDermott, Ben Donaldson. British and Irish Lions: Hugo Keenan (Ireland), Tommy Freeman (England), Huw Jones (Scotland), Bundee Aki (Ireland), James Lowe (Ireland), Finn Russell (Scotland), Jamison Gibson-Park (Ireland); Jack Conan (Ireland), Tom Curry (England), Tadhg Beirne (Ireland), Ollie Chessum (England), Maro Itoje (England, captain), Tadhg Furlong (Ireland), Dan Sheehan (Ireland), Andrew Porter (Ireland). Reserves: Ronan Kelleher (Ireland), Ellis Genge (England). Will Stuart (England), James Ryan (Ireland), Jac Morgan (Wales), Alex Mitchell (England), Owen Farrell (England), Blair Kinghorn (Scotland). ___ AP rugby:

Nico Hulkenberg: ‘F1 podium talk was cold coffee – but I'm not done yet'
In modern-day Formula One, there aren't too many narratives which could have compensated for Lewis Hamilton missing out on a Silverstone podium for the first time. Nor one which sparked more acclaim than Lando Norris winning his home grand prix. Yet Nico Hulkenberg's tense and glorious third-place finish last time out – ending the sport's longest podium-less streak, 239 races and no more – was just that. From last on the starting grid in P19, the German driver and his Sauber team, now pivotally led by ex-Red Bull guru Jonathan Wheatley, executed every call and nailed every pit-stop in the dry-wet chaos to leapfrog 16 cars and finish on the podium, staving off Hamilton in the process. A podium for Hulkenberg in a Sauber before Hamilton claims a podium for Ferrari? Nobody had that on their 2025 F1 bingo card. Hulkenberg's glistening beam as he stood on the podium, rather amusingly holding aloft a trophy made out of Lego, will be one for the season picture-book come December. It was, without a doubt, one of the stories of the year so far. 'It's confirmation of the hard work that the team is putting in,' Hulkenberg tells The Independent, amid a run which now stands at four point-scoring finishes in a row, heading into this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix. 'The update in Barcelona [round nine] has made a really big difference. It was a big turning point in our season. 'The magnitude of the step we've made is a surprise. It's really delivered. Before, it was difficult to do anything in races but now, it's very, very positive.' A Silverstone weekend which concluded with such unbridled joy for the 37-year-old, nicknamed 'The Hulk', started with a five-hour delay at Nice Airport due to air traffic control strikes, down the coast from his home in Monaco. As such, this one-on-one chat with Hulkenberg in the uniquely transparent Sauber motorhome, somewhat isolated at the far end of the Silverstone paddock, was delayed by several hours. Who knows what might have happened over the subsequent days had he not been asked for the umpteenth time about his excruciating podium-less run? Funny how things work out. 'It's not something I think about,' Hulkenberg says about the preceding 238 F1 race starts, which included 112 top-10 finishes, 608 points but astonishingly, zero podiums. The German even has a pole position to his name, taking advantage again of some wet weather in his rookie season at Williams in Brazil, back in 2010. 'I don't really care or pay attention to it [podium-less streak], it's cold coffee, honestly. We're all trying to chase the best possible result. We believe that crazy things can happen, with the weather or whatever. 'You've just got to be here and ready for it. And when the day comes, take it.' The foreshadowing is uncanny. For Hulkenberg, this 2025 mid-season surge represents the zenith of his career renaissance. Hulkenberg was brought up in Germany's most populous region, the North Rhine-Westphalia, in the city of Emmerich am Rhein on the Netherlands border. Yet quickly, his talent looked certain to cross boundaries. NICO HULKENBERG'S F1 CAREER (2010-CURRENT) Races: 239 Points: 608 Top-10 finishes: 113 Wins: 0 Podiums: 1 Pole positions: 1 Best drivers' championship finish: 7th in 2018 (Renault) Rated extremely highly as a youngster – in 2009 he became the third driver after Nico Rosberg and Hamilton to win GP2 (now F2) in his rookie year – F1 stints at Williams, Force India and Renault gave him the pinnacle class of racing he craved. In fact, former manager Willi Weber compared 'The Hulk' to fellow German Michael Schumacher, a seven-time champion of the world. His results in F1, as you will have gathered by now, were consistently impressive, without reaching stratospheric levels. Indeed, his only victory in this period was a stunning win for Porsche at the 24 Hours of Le Mans event in 2015. In doing so, Hulkenberg became the first active F1 driver to win the prestigious endurance race since Johnny Herbert and Bertrand Gachot in 1991. But after nine years in F1, Hulkenberg was dropped at the end of 2019 and spent three seasons on the sidelines as a reserve. A second bite at the cherry, for most onlookers, did not seem forthcoming. Except, perhaps, for the man himself. 'My F1 comeback in 2023 is my biggest achievement to date,' he says, surprisingly, when asked if his Le Mans triumph was his best career accomplishment. 'As a result? Yes, sure, Le Mans. But now, to have this opportunity with Sauber and Audi next year and to still be here, keeping up with the youngsters, pushing to be in F1. 'I did need a break and a bit of a detox. It put a lot of things into perspective. But I had that feeling that I wasn't done yet. I had the desire to jump back in and be competitive again.' An understated figure in the current driver staple of social media stars and fashion icons, Hulkenberg is now one of the sport's senior men. Alongside Max Verstappen, he is one of just two fathers on the grid, with four-year-old daughter Noemi sometimes seen tottering around the garage in search of her dad. His rock-star spiky hair look is in deep contrast to his mellow tone; he is rarely one for exaggeration or hyperbole. Yet amid Sauber's current resurgence with Hulkenberg and F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto at the wheel, and with German giant Audi soon taking over the reins, an outfit so defeated last year looks very much revitalised under the guidance of Wheatley and ex-Ferrari chief Mattia Binotto, as we head into the second half of the season and new regulations in 2026. With the podium 'cold coffee' finally swallowed, there remains one obvious goal for Hulkenberg to crack. Now, the unwanted record is that he is the driver who has the most F1 races to his name without a victory. 'You always want to achieve more until you're winning,' he sums up. 'I haven't been there or done that. 'But in F1, it's not always easy. You need to be in the right spot with the right people. I'm in a big project now and it's a very exciting opportunity. 'Next year is a reset and offers an opportunity for every team. Audi are very serious whenever they enter any motorsport competition. Hopefully we can be a very big contender in the next few years. 'F1 is all about timing. For me, in my career, it hasn't clicked. Well, not yet.'
