Arsenal's transfer window case by case, with a reliability rating and sources for every story.
Last updated: 19 August at 06:30 · Summer 2026 window
Two days after Galatasaray's €45m offer, Gabriel Martinelli's camp have told Arsenal he has no intention of moving to Turkey. Ornstein, Romano and Plettenberg all reported it on the same day. The Turkish club have switched to Rafael Leão.
Arsenal confirmed the signing of Bruno Guimarães on 8 August. The Newcastle captain has signed a four-year deal with the option of a further season, for a fixed £75m, and takes the number 39 shirt. The fourth arrival of the summer, and by far the most expensive.
Julián Álvarez has publicly asked to leave, and Diego Simeone answered that the club has made its decision. Barcelona's bid was waved away, so was Real Madrid's. What is confirmed, what is still very shaky, and why Arsenal are left standing almost by default.
With ten days of the window left, Diego Simeone again said publicly that he is building his team around Julián Álvarez, who was rested for Atlético's LaLiga opener.
