The second part of the 2025 summer transfer window is open and with two-and-a-half months left to run, there could be plenty of deals left to be done in the Premier League
Premier League clubs can now get back to work when it comes to signings. The second transfer window of the summer opened on Monday after a six-day break due to the start of the Club World Cup.
And there’s already plenty of huge deals in the pipeline. Liverpool look set to smash their transfer record with a £100m+ deal for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz.
Arsenal are also making some additions of their own with the additions of Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga. They are also keen on adding a new forward to their squad ahead of next season.
Manchester United are also after another striker and have a few of the Gunners’ targets in mind. Elsewhere, the futures of a number of Premier League stars remain up in the air.
With that being said, Mirror Football has taken a look at the players and the storylines that could dominate the remainder of the window. Take a look at where they stand right now:
Axed from Manchester City’s Club World Cup squad, Grealish faces little future at the Etihad Stadium. But with Pep Guardiola’s side having yet to receive any offers for his services, a loan looked more likely.
Tottenham, Everton and former club Aston Villa have also been linked, while it has been suggested that Napoli are keen on spending £45m on his signature this summer.
While Napoli are keen on Grealish, they also have an interest in United star Garnacho. Like his cross-city rival, the Argentine looks unlikely to have a future in Manchester after being axed by Ruben Amorim.
Garnacho is seen as a better long-term option than Grealish due to his age. Premier League rivals Chelsea and Spurs have also been linked with moves for Garnacho.

Staying in Manchester, the Red Devils also have a tricky decision to make over the future of academy graduate Marcus Rashford. The forward spent the second-half of last season on loan with Aston Villa.
They had an option to make that move permanent but chose not to activate that. Since then, Barcelona have been linked but it remains to be seen if they have enough funds available to sign him.
A man who was already on the verge of a move to the Premier League, Chelsea were unable to agree terms with AC Milan for the services of Mike Maignan. But they might not be done quite there.
Chelsea are still interested in adding to their goalkeeping ranks following Robert Sanchez’s shaky season. AC Milan will attempt to convince Maignan to sign a new deal at the club so it remains to be seen if a move is a realistic prospect.
Victor Osimhen is another man who knows all about failed moves to Chelsea. The Nigerian striker was strongly linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge last term.
However, the Blues were unable to strike a deal with Napoli before Osimhen surprisingly moved to Galatasaray on loan. That deal is set to expire this summer so the potential of a move to West London could rear its head again.
One of the hottest properties in football now, Gyokeres’ transfer saga has threatened to turn ugly amid interest from Manchester United and Arsenal. Both Premier League sides have been strongly linked with his services but a deal still appears to be some way off.
It has been suggested that Gyokeres could potentially go on strike to force through a move away from Sporting Lisbon, albeit the Portuguese giants have announced that they will not be bullied into selling their star forward. It seems this one could potentially roll on for the remainder of the window.
Despite having already signed Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, United remain keen on signing Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo this summer. A deal does not seem to be too far away with Mbeumo already expressing his desire to move to Old Trafford.
But there could however be some late drama with Spurs threatening to hijack a deal, with Thomas Frank keen on being reunited with Mbeumo in North London.
With the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, it would certainly be a surprise to see them let Robertson leave the club. But his future is now up in the air.
The imminent signing of Milos Kerkez looks set to shove Robertson down the pecking order, while a number of reports have suggested that Atletico Madrid could make a move. As it stands, talks are at an early stage but a switch could potentially happen.
A recently crowned European champion, Donnarumma is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world right now. And PSG are understandably desperate to keep hold of him.
But he has just one year left on his deal in the French capital and Man United have been linked with Donnarumma seen as a potential replacement for Andre Onana at Old Trafford. The Italian has reportedly been discussing a Premier League switch with teammates so it could potentially be an option.
Having already done deals for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen this summer, Real Madrid might not be quite done in the transfer market just yet. They have been linked with a move for Benfica star Alvaro Carreras all summer long.
But as of yet, they have struggled to agree a deal with the Portuguese giants. Bruno Lage has spoken out and claimed his side will only sell should they get an acceptable offer so this is one that could potentially roll on.
