The transfer market is heating up as summer hits full speed. From a firm stance in Paris to a galáctico-sized bid in Madrid, and two fresh arrivals in England, here’s your comprehensive wrap-up of the day’s transfer buzz, July 24, 2025.
🇫🇷 PSG – No Discounts for Juventus on Kolo Muani
Paris Saint-Germain is playing hardball. Randal Kolo Muani, on loan at Juventus since January, made a strong first impression in Turin but his form tapered off in the latter half of the season. Despite the spark, Juve remains undecided on making the move permanent.
One thing is clear: PSG won’t be letting him go cheaply. The original loan didn’t include a purchase option, and Paris is reportedly demanding at least €50 million to part ways with the French forward — a far cry from the €90 million they spent in 2023. In short, the message to Juventus is simple: if you want him, pay up.
🇪🇸 Real Madrid – €115M Move for Rodri in the Works?
A blockbuster move is brewing in Spain. Reports from both Spanish and British media suggest Real Madrid is preparing a massive €115 million bid for Rodri, Manchester City’s midfield maestro and key figure for Spain.
With Toni Kroos retired and Luka Modrić nearing the end, the Madrid giants are seeking a new engine in midfield. New manager Xabi Alonso is said to have identified Rodri as a priority signing.
But Manchester City isn’t about to fold — Pep Guardiola views Rodri as untouchable, especially with the Club World Cup and major competitions on the horizon. It would take something truly spectacular to pry him away from the Etihad.
✅ Official – Wolverhampton Signs Jhon Arias
Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers has completed the signing of Colombian winger Jhon Arias from Fluminense. The deal is reportedly worth around €15 million, with Arias signing a contract through 2029, including an option for an extra year.
Arias, 27, has shined in the Copa Libertadores and earned his place with Colombia’s national team. He brings speed, flair, and experience — exactly the kind of profile Wolves were missing on the flanks.
🇰🇷 Newcastle Secure Korean Talent Seung-soo Park
In a more low-key but strategic move, Newcastle United has added Seung-soo Park from the Suwon Bluewings. The South Korean midfielder is seen as one of Asia’s top young prospects.
While financial details remain undisclosed, Park’s arrival reflects Newcastle’s continued focus on long-term growth and global scouting. At just 21, he could quickly become one to watch in the Premier League.
🔚 Recap of the Day
- PSG won’t cut any deals for Kolo Muani — Juventus must pay top price.
- Real Madrid is dreaming big with a €115M offer for Rodri, but Guardiola stands firm.
- Wolves officially land dynamic winger Jhon Arias.
- Newcastle bets on South Korea’s rising star Seung-soo Park.
🎯 What’s next? Likely more fireworks as clubs race to close deals before the window shuts. The summer mercato is in full swing — stay tuned.
