André Luiz heading to Sporting Kansas City for €17.5M+
André Luiz is leaving. Sporting Kansas City have tabled a massive offer exceeding €17.5m for the Brazilian, and the deal is going through (2) (3). Wolves and Rio Ave previously showed interest, but the MLS club have won the race.
This is serious money coming into the club, and it resets what your summer window can look like.
Petar Stanić and Joel Roca close to joining
Two more are on the way. Olympiacos are in the final stretch for winger Petar Stanić and attacker Joel Roca, with both deals nearing completion (1). Mendilibar is getting the reinforcements he asked for.
Jota Silva loan confirmed
The Portuguese international winger arrives on loan from Nottingham Forest for the 2026/27 season (5). Jota Silva, capped by Portugal, gives Mendilibar a direct wide option with Champions League experience.
Tzosef deadline extended
Deadline on the Tzosef matter has been pushed back (4). The club secured the extension, though details remain vague. Something to keep an eye on.
Fan-reaktioner
The Jota Silva loan has fans talking. Most see it as a smart pick-up, a winger who can stretch teams and rotate with the current squad. The thread is largely positive, a few wondering where he fits in Mendilibar's shape, but the mood is that this is a genuine upgrade on the flank.
