European football transfer market activity

Overview

The European football transfer market experienced significant activity during the latter half of August 2026.

Initial reports highlighted interest and potential movements across several leagues, including Belgian clubs RSC Anderlecht, Union SG, Antwerp FC, and Club Brugge. International negotiations were also noted involving Besiktas and various players in the Netherlands and Germany.

By the end of the month, several deals reached completion or advanced toward finalization. In the Eredivisie, Ajax Amsterdam secured a loan agreement for Simon Adingra from Sunderland, while AZ Alkmaar saw departures including Mayckel Lahdo to Malmö FF and Matěj Šín to ADO Den Haag. Other notable movements included Ayoni Santos joining PSV Eindhoven from Sparta Rotterdam and Isaac Babadi moving from PSV to Sparta Rotterdam on loan.

In early September, activity continued with high-value interest and squad restructuring. In the Netherlands, Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa became a target for Al-Ittihad, which reportedly made a €37.5 million bid, alongside interest from Chelsea and Olympique Marseille.

Belgian club Union SG underwent extensive changes involving 22 transfer movements, including the €7.5 million signing of Argentine winger Dylan Aquino, whom manager David Hubert described as an ‘explosive and robust addition’. Additionally, RWDM secured defender Sacha Marloye on loan from Club Brugge. In Italy, following the close of the primary window, AS Roma began targeting free agents such as Wilfried Zaha, Krépin Diatta, and Raphaël Guerreiro to strengthen their squad.
