Fenerbahce confirmed the permanent signing of Mason Greenwood from Olympique de Marseille on a four-year contract, the Turkish club announced, ending a prolific but brief chapter in Ligue 1 for the 24-year-old forward. The fee, reported at €39 million with potential add-ons taking it to €45 million, will be paid in three annual instalments. Greenwood scored 48 goals in 81 appearances for Marseille after joining from Manchester United in July 2024, finishing as Ligue 1’s second-highest scorer last season with 16 goals. Manchester United stand to benefit from a sell-on clause estimated at 40 per cent of the profit. Viewed from Istanbul, the acquisition signals the club’s determination to break a sequence of five consecutive second-place finishes in the Süper Lig and to navigate the upcoming Champions League qualifying round against Górnik Zabrze.

Arsenal, meanwhile, sanctioned the departure of Leandro Trossard to Beşiktaş for a fee of £17 million, comprising £15.3 million fixed and £1.7 million in add-ons. The Belgian forward, who contributed 36 goals and 34 assists in 174 outings and started the Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, was granted permission to travel for a medical. His exit has accelerated the north London club’s pursuit of replacements. Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis, a 24-year-old Greek international valued at around £30 million, is the immediate target, with sporting director Andrea Berta working on a deal after his assistant watched the player in a recent international fixture. Arsenal retain a long-standing interest in Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez, though competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid complicates that move, while Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers and Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola are alternative options. Separately, the club has made Gabriel Jesus available for transfer, with the Brazilian striker, who scored six league goals last season, attracting interest from AC Milan, Juventus and Fenerbahçe.

In Yorkshire, Leeds United agreed a £34.1 million fee with Sassuolo for Bosnian centre-back Tarik Muharemovic, a direct replacement for Pascal Struijk following his £20 million move to Brighton & Hove Albion. The 23-year-old, who began his career at Wolfsberger and had a spell at Juventus without a first-team appearance, is yet to agree personal terms. Juventus will receive 50 per cent of the transfer sum due to a sell-on clause inserted when he moved to Sassuolo. Leeds, who have already added forward Harry Wilson on a free transfer, are moving swiftly amid reported interest from other Premier League clubs.

Brighton & Hove Albion completed the signing of 19-year-old Croatian defender Luka Vušković from Tottenham Hotspur for a club-record £46 million on a five-year deal with an option for a further year. Vušković spent last season on loan at Hamburg, where he was named the Bundesliga’s young player of the season and helped the club avoid relegation. Head coach Fabian Hürzeler noted the club had tracked the player for an extended period and believes he can adapt to the demands of the Premier League. The teenager has already amassed 78 senior appearances and scored 16 goals, a remarkable return for a centre-back. His arrival continues Brighton’s strategy of investing in emerging talent, while Tottenham, who sold him without a senior appearance, simultaneously reinforced their own defence by signing Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton for £52 million.
