Transfer Roundup: Manchester United sign Šeško as Núñez makes Saudi switch | OneFootball

With just three weeks left until the transfer window slams shut on September 1st for Europe’s top leagues, business is hotting up among the continent’s elite sides.

From a new frontman at Old Trafford to a potential goalkeeping merry-go-round and a big Liverpudlian exit, here are 10 of the most significant pieces of transfer business from the last seven days.

Confirmed: Benjamin Šeško to Manchester United

For a little over £66 million, Manchester United have finally signed their new striker in the form of Benjamin Šeško. The 22-year-old has headed to Old Trafford after scoring 39 goals in 87 RB Leipzig appearances, and the move could have ramifications for Rasmus Hǿjlund, who could be on his way to AC Milan to make room for the Slovenian. Šeško’s arrival marks the final piece of Ruben Amorim’s attacking jigsaw, as he joins Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in a new-look front three.

Confirmed: Darwin Núñez to Al Hilal

With Liverpool still linked with Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, they’ve made room for that potential addition by selling Darwin Núñez on a permanent deal to Al Hilal. The Uruguayan has cost the Saudi Arabian giants a reported £45.9 million after three years in Merseyside. Núñez scored 40 goals in 143 appearances for The Reds and has now joined the likes of Malcom and Rúben Neves at an Al Hilal side looking to return to winning ways in the Saudi Pro League after Al Ahli’s title last season. Núñez’s move may also facilitate the exit of Aleksandar Mitrović, who has been linked with a return to Leeds United by The Chronicle.

Confirmed: Mads Hermansen to West Ham United

Despite Leicester City’s unceremonious relegation to the Championship last season, goalkeeper Mads Hermansen was one of the brighter sparks in a squad which otherwise had very little to shout about. So, his £18 million return to the Premier League is far from a surprise, with West Ham the club to acquire the 25-year-old’s services after veteran Łukasz Fabiański left the club at the end of last season. Hermansen will be competing with Alphonse Areola for the number one spot at the London Stadium.

Rumour: Kingsley Coman to Al Nassr

Sport Bild have reported that, after an eight-year spell at Bayern Munich, Kingsley Coman has agreed personal terms for a move to Al Nassr. The 29-year-old signed for the German giants back in 2017 and held the remarkable feat of having won the league title in every single season of his professional career until Bayer Leverkusen took Bundesliga glory in 2024. The Frenchman scored nine goals and made six assists last season as Bayern returned to the summit of German football. He’s now set to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia after Al Nassr also signed João Félix and Iñigo Martínez earlier in the window.

Confirmed: Lucas Chevalier to Paris Saint-Germain

It hasn’t been the busiest summer for the European champions on the transfer front, but they’ve finally confirmed their first (but likely not final) big piece of business. Lucas Chevalier joins for a fee of just under £35 million after impressing regularly for Ligue 1 rivals Lille. The 23-year-old’s arrival at the Parc des Princes solidifies PSG’s goalkeeping position for years to come. It could also spell the end of the road for Gianluigi Donnarumma’s time in Paris, with the Italian heavily linked with a move to Manchester United.

Confirmed: Armando Broja to Burnley

In their bid to ward of Premier League relegation, Burnley have signed not one, not two, but three players from Chelsea this summer, with Albanian international Armando Broja the latest to make the switch. The 23-year-old joins Bashir Humphreys and Lesley Ugochukwu at Turf Moor following a spell at Chelsea which was hugely disrupted by injuries. Broja spent last season on loan at Everton, where he failed to score in 11 appearances. Burnley have paid a reported £20 million fee for his services.

Rumour: Jack Grealish to Everton

It’s looked a certainty that Jack Grealish would be seeking pastures new ever since his omission from Manchester City’s Club World Cup squad, and The Times have reported that Everton are now close to securing his signature on a loan deal. Grealish was signed by City for £100 million in 2021 and helped the club to treble glory in 2023. His minutes have since diminished, and the 29-year-old managed only seven starts in the Premier League last season. Now, a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium could be the kickstart he needs.

Confirmed: Timothy Weah to Marseille

In a move foreshadowed 25 years ago by his legendary father George – who moved to the Stade Vélodrome from Manchester City – Timothy Weah has joined Marseille on loan from Juventus. The USA international made 43 appearances for The Old Lady last season, notching 11 goal contributions having split his playing time between the right wing and right back spots. The 25-year-old will spend the 2025/26 season on loan at Marseille and there is a £12 million obligation to buy.

Confirmed: Anel Ahmedhožić to Feyenoord

After the bitter disappointment of losing the Championship play-off final against Sunderland, Sheffield United have also had to grin and bear the loss of Anel Ahmedhožić. The Bosnian international has joined Feyenoord for what The Blades described as a ‘significant bid,’ reported to be £15.6 million. The 29-year-old centre half made 114 appearances, including 31 in the Premier League, over three years in Yorkshire, and has now traded Sheffield for Rotterdam.

Rumour: Ilya Zabarnyi to Paris Saint-Germain

Depending on the school of thought to which you subscribe, this window has either been a disaster or a roaring success for Bournemouth. On the one hand, they’ve already lost two key defenders in Dean Huijsen (signed by Real Madrid) and Milos Kerkez (signed by Liverpool) and a third in Ilya Zabarnyi is reported to be edging ever closer to a move to Paris. On the other, they’ve already made over £94 million from that pair and, according to Fabrizio Romano, Zabarnyi is expected to cash in another £60.5 million by the time his move to the Parc des Princes is made official. The 22-year-old centre half made 86 appearances in two-and-a-half seasons at Bournemouth and is expected to fight for a place in PSG’s star-studded backline with the likes of Marquinhos and Willian Pacho.
