The European transfer market is constantly moving, and the words we hear most often are the following: sales, loans and transfers. This will continue to happen in the following weeks as teams restructure for the upcoming season.
There have been tons of rumors throughout the summer, but little by little the confirmations are coming in.
As is customary, there will be more than one surprise in the transfer market in 2022.
Here are the latest news from the European soccer transfer window.
European transfer market – July 15th
FC Barcelona and Robert Lewandowski Have Reached an Agreement
One of the rumors of this year’s European transfer market has been FC Barcelona’ s interest in Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. After several comings and goings, it seems that finally, he will be a player of the “culé” team.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano posted on his Twitter account that Bayern Munich have reached a deal with Barcelona.
There is talk that the Pole will join the Catalan side for 50 million euros.
Hugo Ekitike Will Be PSG’s Second Addition to the Team
PSG have been very discreet in this transfer window, where so far they have only added Vitinha, but that could change this weekend. According to L’Equipe, the Parisian side are close to acquiring Hugo Ekitike from Stade Reims.
The move for the 19-year-old French gem would be for a total amount of €35 million, with €28.5 million fixed and €6.5 million variable.
Manchester City Renews Riyad Mahrez’s Contract
The Citizens officialized the renewal of the Algerian Riyad Mahrez, who has been fundamental in the project led by the Spaniard Pep Guardiola. The 31-year-old signed a deal that will tie him to the Manchester club until 2025.
Mahrez joined City in 2018 and has since won three Premier League titles, three League Cups and an FA Cup.
Christian Eriksen to Play for Manchester United
Christian Eriksen was playing with Premier League side Brentford in the first half of the year, but at the end of the season he became a free agent; since then, he has been linked to several teams.
Manchester United was the winner among all the options and will have the Danish player for the next three seasons.
Keylor Navas Keeps Looking for a Team
The one who has yet to find a team is Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas. He no longer plays a significant role at PSG, and it is preferable for him to explore another opportunities.
Rumors suggest that the former Real Madrid goalkeeper could continue his career in Italian soccer with Napoli.
