European sports see major transfer activity in football and cycling

The summer transfer window has seen significant movement in European football and cycling. In cycling, French rider Cédrine Kerbaol is reportedly set to join SD Worx-Protime from EF Education-Oatly, a move that would bolster the Dutch team's climbing and stage-racing capabilities.

In Belgian football, RSC Anderlecht has secured the loan of Irish defender Andrew Omobamidele from Strasbourg for the remainder of the season. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig has reached an agreement to loan midfielder Arthur Vermeeren to his former club, Royal Antwerp, for the rest of the 2026/27 season. These moves have created uncertainty regarding the future of Bahmed Deuff at FC Nantes, as Antwerp's midfield reinforcement may impact his potential loan to the Belgian side.

In Germany, FC Augsburg has extended the contract of attacker Nathanaël Mbuku until 2028, though he has been immediately loaned to Belgian club VV St. Truiden to ensure playing time.
