Top 10 Bundesliga transfers of the summer so far | OneFootball

The summer transfer window has already delivered plenty of major moves involving Bundesliga clubs. Here, we take a look at the most notable transfers so far.

Ismael Saibari

PSV → Bayern Munich (€50m)

FC Bayern moved quickly in the summer transfer window by signing Saibari during the World Cup – and they were likely pleased with that decision after the versatile Moroccan attacker made a strong impression with three goals before injury cut his tournament short. 

Having racked up19 goals and nine assists in 37 games for PSV last season, Saibari is set to add even more firepower to Bayern's already dangerous attack. Capable of playing as an attacking midfielder, on the wing or as a striker, he also provides valuable versatility to Vincent Kompany's squad.

Nathaniel Brown

Eintracht Frankfurt → Bayern Munich (€50m)

Another deal Bayern Munich completed during the World Cup was the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt and Germany defender Nathaniel Brown. After a strong campaign with Frankfurt, the 23-year-old started at left-back for Germany during the tournament and made a positive impression, particularly in the opening 7-1 win over Curaçao.

An attack-minded full-back with excellent technical ability, Brown will provide a valuable alternative to the injury-hit Alphonso Davies on the left side of Bayern's defence.

Bazoumana Touré

TSG Hoffenheim → Newcastle United (€50m)

A year and a half after joining from Swedish side Hammarby, Bazoumana Touré has left TSG Hoffenheim and the Bundesliga to join Newcastle United for a €50m fee – a new club-record sale for the Sinsheim-based side.

The explosive and technically gifted Ivory Coast international took his game to another level last season, racking up five goals and 12 assists, and will certainly be missed by Hoffenheim.

Afonso Moreira

Olympique Lyon → Bayer Leverkusen (€29.5m)

One of the most exciting new arrivals in the Bundesliga, 21-year-old Moreira has joined Bayer Leverkusen after a strong campaign with Olympique Lyon, where he scored eight goals and provided 11 assists in 37 appearances.

A pacey left winger with strong dribbling skills, Moreira will look to earn a regular place in the starting XI under new Bayer Leverkusen coach Carles Martinez.

Alejandro Grimaldo

Bayer Leverkusen → Atlético Madrid (€22m)

Bayer Leverkusen have said goodbye to a club legend and key member of the side that won the German double in 2023/24, with Alejandro Grimaldo leaving the club to join Atlético Madrid.

Die Werkself would have preferred to keep hold of Grimaldo, who scored 30 goals and provided 45 assists in 145 appearances for the club, but ultimately allowed the 30-year-old left-back to fulfil his wish of returning to his native Spain.

Nathan De Cat

RSC Anderlecht → TSG Hoffenheim (€20m)

Hoffenheim pulled off a major coup by beating competition from a number of top clubs to secure the signing of highly-rated Belgian youngster Nathan De Cat.

Despite turning just 18 this week, the promising central midfielder has already made 53 appearances for Anderlecht's first team, contributing four goals and five assists.

Rocco Reitz

Borussia Mönchengladbach → RB Leipzig (€20m)

In a transfer that was already announced months ago, Rocco Reitz has joined RB Leipzig from Borussia Mönchengladbach, leaving fans of his former club hugely disappointed.

The energetic central midfielder will now look to take the next step in his career, competing for a place in Leipzig's midfield alongside the likes of Assan Ouedraogo and Nicolas Seiwald.

Joane Gadou

RB Salzburg → Borussia Dortmund (€19.5m)

A tall, powerful and quick centre-back, Gadou has arrived to strengthen Borussia Dortmund's backline.

The 19-year-old prodigy is expected to go straight into the starting XI and will be greatly welcomed, especially given the injury that will keep Nico Schlotterbeck out at the beginning of the season.

Mio Backhaus

Werder Bremen → SC Freiburg (€12m)

Backhaus has decided to swap the No. 1 role at Werder Bremen for a similar position at SC Freiburg, arriving to replace Noah Atubolu, who has expressed his desire to leave the Breisgau club this summer.

After being a key performer during a difficult season for Werder, Backhaus can now look forward to showcasing his abilities in European competition with his new club, who secured a Conference League spot last season.

Kennet Eichhorn

Hertha BSC → Bayer Leverkusen (€9m)

One of the biggest transfer sagas in German football this year came to an end when Bayer Leverkusen announced the signing of Kenneth Eichhorn from Hertha BSC.

The 16-year-old wonderkid was also linked with a host of European heavyweights, but chose Die Werkself as he looks to establish himself in the Bundesliga and find regular playing time in the top flight.

Despite his young age, Eichhorn was already a key player for Hertha, making 19 appearances for the club last season.
