Tielemans to United, Vušković to Brighton: July 14's done deals
A day of official signings on the market: Manchester United wrap up Youri Tielemans, Brighton land Luka Vušković from Tottenham and Lazio announce Danilho Doekhi on a free transfer. In Serie A it is Inter who are busiest — Kovačić offered and talks with Tottenham over Spence — while Fiorentina seal Valdepeñas, all against the backdrop of the World Cup semi-final between France and Spain.
The heaviest deal of the day comes from the Premier League: Youri Tielemans is officially a Manchester United player. According to Calciomercato.com, the Red Devils triggered the release clause of the Belgian midfielder, signed from Aston Villa for 41 million. It is an experienced, quality addition for United's midfield, formalising a move set up in recent days.
The afternoon's other confirmation also stays in the Premier League: Luka Vušković joins Brighton. The Croatian defender arrives from Tottenham for 46 million pounds, as reported by Calciomercato.com. The Seagulls invest decisively in a young profile, while Spurs cash in on a significant defensive sale.
In Serie A, Lazio complete their first official signing: Danilho Doekhi is a new Biancocelesti player, arriving on a free transfer. At the same time Fiorentina push for Víctor Valdepeñas: Calciomercato.com calls it a «here we go», with a verbal agreement reached with Real Madrid for the youngster's move to the Viola.
The busiest side of the day, however, is Inter, working on several fronts. Mateo Kovačić, on his way out of Manchester City, has been offered to the Nerazzurri, while talks with Tottenham over Spence are live: in those discussions Spurs are said to have also offered Romero, who is set to leave London regardless. On the way out, Yann Sommer is instead heading to Club Brugge, with whom Calciomercato.com had already announced an agreement.
Milan are working mainly on renewals: Calciomercato.com reports that Luka Modrić is increasingly close to extending his contract with the Rossoneri. For Juventus, meanwhile, there is a cooling on the incoming front: Aston Villa director Damian Vidagany publicly reiterated that Emiliano «Dibu» Martínez will stay in Birmingham, calling him «a fundamental player» and dampening talk of a possible switch to Turin.
It was a quieter day in La Liga, where the most notable move is precisely Valdepeñas's departure from Real Madrid to Florence. On the Serie A sales front, Como's Yannik Engelhardt remains a hot name, tracked by Club Brugge and Freiburg according to Calciomercato.com. All this while international football has its eyes on the 2026 World Cup: tonight, the semi-final between France and Spain.
