Every position is filled with outstanding players. So much quality, so much talent throughout the squad.
What makes it even more impressive is the age profile. Most of these players are still years away from their peak.
The future belongs to #ManCity!
Romano Postema’s future remains one to watch this summer.
Following Hellas Verona’s relegation from Serie A, one of the previously mentioned options appears less likely at this stage.
According to VoetbalPrimeur, a transfer cannot be ruled out, especially after Postema’s outstanding season at FC Emmen.
In addition to interest from the Netherlands, clubs from Germany have also made enquiries about the 24-year-old striker. #Eredivisie
Romano #Postema is expected to return to FC Groningen this summer after a highly successful loan spell at FC Emmen.
The 24-year-old striker recorded an impressive 24 goals and 7 assists in 35 matches and has now put himself firmly back on Groningen’s radar.
As things stand, Postema could be given the chance to prove himself in the Eredivisie next season and become part of Groningen’s first-team plans.
Should he continue his development and deliver another strong campaign, a move to clubs such as Hearts could quickly become unrealistic from a financial perspective. #Eredivisie
FC Groningen have exercised the purchase option for Travis #Hernes.
The 20-year-old midfielder joins permanently from Newcastle United after spending the past season on loan at the club.
Hernes has signed a long-term contract until the summer of 2030, underlining Groningen’s confidence in his development and future role within the squad. #Eredivisie
Next loan spell on the horizon for Claudio #Echeverri
Monza are showing strong interest in signing the Manchester City talent on loan for the upcoming season.
The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen and Girona, gaining experience in both the Bundesliga and La Liga.
Manchester City continue to view Echeverri as a major prospect, making another temporary move the most likely scenario as things stand. #ManCity #SerieA
This team certainly has the quality to go deep into the tournament.
Defensively and in midfield, they are arguably one of the strongest teams in the entire competition. #Oranje#NEDALG#FIFAWorldCup
Brutal bitter für alle Fans von 1860 München.
Bei allem Spott rund um die vergangenen Jahre, die Diskussionen um Hasan Ismaik und die ständigen Debatten um 50+1: 1860 gehört eigentlich auf die große Fußballlandkarte Deutschlands.
Umso trauriger ist es, wenn ein Verein mit dieser Tradition immer wieder an Führungsthemen und internen Konflikten scheitert.
Am Ende leiden darunter vor allem die Fans, die ihrem Klub seit Jahren die Treue halten. #TSV1860
Manchester City have closely monitored Aleksey #Batrakov and are said to be very impressed by the midfielder’s development, according to TEAMtalk.
The Premier League champions explored potential pathways through their wider football network, but none of the available options have reportedly proven workable.
Current regulations are understood to prevent English clubs from signing Batrakov directly from Lokomotiv Moscow at this stage.
Despite City’s admiration for the player, a move currently appears extremely complicated. #ManCity
Mihai #Lixandru is attracting interest from several clubs across Europe this summer.
The versatile FCSB midfielder, who can also operate in central defence, is being monitored by FC Luzern, FC Thun, Anderlecht, Rapid Wien and Italy’s Virtus Entella.
Swiss clubs are currently believed to have an advantage in the race, although no concrete offers have been submitted so far.
Lixandru is under contract until 2029, but reports from Romania suggest FCSB would be willing to negotiate a transfer if the right proposal arrives.
Serie A clubs are showing growing interest in FC Twente defender Stav #Lemkin.
The 23-year-old centre-back has caught the attention of scouts in Italy, with his agent Rafi Epstein confirming that several clubs are monitoring his situation closely.
According to Epstein, Lemkin would be open to a move to Serie A if the right opportunity arrives — but not just any club.
No discussions over a transfer fee have taken place yet, although his camp believe a deal would likely cost in the region of €7m-€8m. FC Twente are also expected to demand a significant fee for one of their key defenders. #Eredivisie #FCTwente
Hakim #Ziyech is reportedly open to a return to Ajax.
According to Maarten Vledder, who claims to have spoken with Ziyech recently, the 33-year-old would gladly consider a move back to Amsterdam if the opportunity arose.
The big question is whether #Ajax are interested in bringing the former fan favourite back.
Ziyech still has one year left on his contract with Wydad Casablanca, but his deal reportedly contains a clause that could allow him to leave if an attractive club comes forward.
A reunion cannot be ruled out. #Eredivisie
PSV would like to keep Anass Salah-Eddine on a permanent basis after his impressive season, but negotiations with AS Roma are currently at a standstill.
The main issue remains the financial package. Roma are open to a permanent transfer, but believe the offers made so far do not match the player's current value.
The Italian club are also mindful of the €8.5m they invested to sign Salah-Eddine from FC Twente and are not prepared to accept a cut-price deal.
PSV have not given up on the transfer, but a significantly improved offer will likely be required to convince Roma. #Eredivisie
Kai #Pröger bleibt eines der spannendsten Themen beim VfB Oldenburg in diesem Transfersommer.
Nach Informationen des „kicker“ soll der 34-Jährige beim VfL Osnabrück keine Rolle mehr spielen. Besonders interessant: Pröger soll mehreren Vereinen bereits abgesagt haben, weil er eine Rückkehr zum VfB bevorzugt.
Das Problem bleibt die finanzielle Seite. Das aktuelle Gehalt des Offensivspielers liegt in einer Größenordnung, die für Oldenburg nur schwer darstellbar ist.
Nach Informationen des VfB Reports gibt es zudem noch einen weiteren Klub, der in der Personalie eine Rolle spielen könnte: Rot-Weiss Essen. Der Drittligist plant den nächsten Anlauf Richtung 2. Bundesliga und könnte Pröger sportlich wie finanziell ein attraktives Gesamtpaket bieten. #Regionallilga
Mario #Stroeykens could be one to watch for PSV this summer.
According to Voetbalnieuws, Anderlecht are open to discussing a transfer if a strong offer arrives for the midfielder.
PSV have admired Stroeykens in the past and are reportedly looking for a player with a similar profile as they assess options for the upcoming transfer window.
At this stage, no deal is advanced, but the links between PSV and Stroeykens continue. #Eredivisie
Feyenoord are monitoring Joël Drommel’s situation with serious interest, according to ESPN.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper enjoyed an excellent season on loan at Sparta Rotterdam and has put himself back on the radar of several clubs.
#Drommel remains under contract with PSV until 2027, but ESPN reports that the Dutch champions are willing to cooperate if a suitable offer arrives this summer. #Eredivisie
🏟️ Die Entscheidung ist gefallen!
Die Abstimmung ist durch, die Mehrheit steht: Der Auftrag kann vergeben werden. Oldenburg bekommt ein neues Stadion.
Ein historischer Abend für den Sportstandort Oldenburg und eine Entscheidung, die die Entwicklung des VfB Oldenburg und des gesamten regionalen Sports langfristig prägen wird. #Regionalliga

FC Groningen have made enquiries about Noah #Weißhaupt.
The SC Freiburg winger is attracting interest from several clubs after his loan spell at Hannover 96. Groningen are among the teams exploring a potential move, but competition is growing.
VfL Bochum are also interested, while additional clubs from the Bundesliga and abroad are monitoring the situation.
Hannover hold an option to buy the 24-year-old, although it remains unclear whether they will activate it. #Eredivisie
