Premier League 2026 Summer Transfers: £375m Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal Leads Confirmed Deals

Key Points

  • Arsenal acquired Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle for £375m, the largest confirmed transfer fee in the 2026 window.
  • Aston Villa sold Morgan Rogers to Chelsea for £117m and acquired Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea for £65m.
  • Brighton signed Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham for £50m while offloading Carlos Baleba to Manchester United for £70m.

Brighton conducted notable business in both directions, offloading midfielder Carlos Baleba to Manchester United for £70m—their largest departure—while simultaneously acquiring defender Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham for £50m. Brighton also sold Jan Paul van Hecke back to Tottenham for £52m and Carl Rushworth to Coventry for £22.5m.

Brentford moved to strengthen their midfield by acquiring El Hadji Malick Diouf from West Ham for £40m and Mamadou Sangare from Lens for £39m. The club also brought in Jaidon Anthony from Burnley for £17m and Jannik Schuster from Red Bull Salzburg for £16.5m, while parting with Ethan Pinnock to Coventry for £6m.

Bournemouth processed outgoing transfers of Hamed Traore to Marseille for £6.5m and Luis Sinisterra to Cruzeiro for £5.2m, while acquiring Antonio Silva from Benfica for £25.7m and Alvaro Rodriguez from Elche for £21m. The window also featured numerous loan moves and free transfers across multiple Premier League clubs, with several players released from academy or squad positions.

Across the confirmed deals tracked in the transfer centre, the movement of players reflects significant investment in defence and midfield reinforcements, with fees including potential add-ons. The window demonstrates continued volatility in player valuations, with some acquisitions representing substantial increases from previous transfer fees while others reflect strategic squad rotations ahead of the 2026-27 season.
