By OnzeActu · · 3 min read
The 2026 summer transfer window is coming to life with many notable transfers such as the departure of Andy Robertson from Liverpool to Tottenham or the arrival of Ederson at Manchester United. Onze Actu takes stock of these operations and their consequences for the clubs and players concerned.
The 2026 summer transfer window raises many expectations among football fans, who are as passionate about transfers as they are about the approaching World Cup. Several major movements have already been made official, revealing their first winners and losers before the end of the transfer period, set for September 1st.
On June 5, Andy Robertson left Liverpool to join Tottenham on a free basis. This decision marks a turning point for the Reds, who lose a pillar of the Klopp era acquired in 2017 for just 8 million pounds. Despite his age-related decline, Robertson remained an iconic figure, and his departure raises concerns about Liverpool's stability in the 2026-27 season. For its part, Tottenham, who already had several options at the left-back position, surprised by recruiting the Scotsman. This choice aims in particular to strengthen the experience and character of the locker room under the leadership of new coach Roberto De Zerbi. For Robertson, the move offers an opportunity to play regularly in the Premier League before the World Cup, although joining a club that has struggled to stay alive may seem surprising.

On June 2, Ederson made the big move from Atalanta to Manchester United for around 35 million euros. For the Lombard club, this is a great financial gain after having recruited the Brazilian for around 23 million in 2022. Atalanta once again confirms its model based on the revelation of talents before their departure for a top club. Manchester United, who lost Casemiro, are offering a replacement with a similar profile. While the player's form has dropped recently, notably with the departure of coach Gasperini, this arrival is seen as an intelligent operation. Ederson gets the opportunity to win in one of the biggest championships in the world and could thus hope to regain his place with the Brazilian selection.
Finally, on June 29, Newcastle sold Anthony Gordon to Barcelona for 80 million euros. For the Magpies, it is an important sale which demonstrates a new strategy in the face of sporting difficulties and the absence of the Champions League. On the Barcelona side, despite weakened finances, investing in Gordon is a risky bet. The English winger, versatile and hardworking, will have to justify this high amount in a squad loaded with talent. For Gordon, this transfer represents the fulfillment of a dream, with the pressure of joining a big club and climbing the next level in his career.
The 2026 transfer window still promises many surprises, and Onze Actu will continue to follow the evolution of these major operations closely until the transfer window closes.
