The biggest confirmed 2025 Summer transfers for the 2025/26 EPL
The 2025 Summer transfer window began on 16 June, and major signings have already happened. Plenty of high-profile transfers have already been made public. See who the top-billing players of the English Premier League (EPL) are and where they are transferring to for the 2025/26 competitive season.
Florian Wirtz (from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool)
Leading the list is German midfielder Florian Wirtz, who joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for £116 million, making him one of the most expensive transfers in football history.
Leverkusen had hoped to extend Wirtz’s contract, but the midfielder opted to move to Liverpool in May, prompting swift negotiations. The German playmaker confirmed his decision in May 2025, which led both clubs to begin formal talks.
Matheus Cunha (from Wolves to Manchester United)
Manchester United is investing heavily in its attack and has signed Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Brazilian forward joined on 12 June for £62.5 million, agreeing to a five-year deal with an optional extra year.
Cunha carries high expectations as part of coach Ruben Amorim’s effort to rebuild the club after last season’s run. He is expected to lead the line alongside Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes.
João Pedro (from Brighton to Chelsea)
In an impressive £60 million agreement, Chelsea signed João Pedro from Brighton. Newcastle also bid £50 million, but Pedro made it clear he only wanted Chelsea.
He flew to the United States, joining Chelsea’s Club World Cup (CWC) lineup for his official debut with the Blues. His first match with the team was at the quarter-finals versus Palmeiras on the 5th of July, which they won 2-1.
Tijjani Reijnders (from AC Milan to Manchester City)
Following Kevin De Bruyne’s move to Napoli, Manchester City signed Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for £46.3 million. The Dutch midfielder will be part of City’s midfield rebuild for the 2025/26 Premier League season. Despite the team’s early exit at the Club World Cup, he impressed manager Pep Guardiola with his performances and versatility, suggesting he could be a strong addition to the squad.
Milos Kerkez (from AFC Bournemouth to Liverpool)
Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth has effectively moved to Liverpool on 26 June with a five-year contract at £40 million. The Hungarian left-back is determined to play a heavy part in the club’s success.
The move addresses Liverpool’s ageing defence, with veterans like Andrew Robertson and Virgil van Dijk already in their 30s. Kerkez’s inclusion is to add a younger, dynamic spirit to the club’s strong lineup.
