The football transfer window is currently ongoing in the top five European leagues, divided into two parts due to the FIFA Club World Cup. The Premier League closes for five days, while other leagues such as Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, and Ligue 1 open on July 1 and close on September 1. The most notable news is significant progress in the transfer of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool, which could become one of the biggest transfers in English football history. There is also considerable attention on the transfer of Gabriel Vidović, with conflicting reports—some sources claim there are no negotiations between Dinamo Zagreb and Bayern Munich, while others say Dinamo is strongly pushing and has good chances to sign him. Additionally, reports cover other transfers and negotiations in European football, including offers for Dušan Vlahović and Josip Šutalo.
