As the summer 2025 transfer window approaches, clubs across the globe are preparing for one of the most pivotal windows in recent memory. From record-breaking extensions to unexpected moves and strategic reshuffles, the transfer rumors swirling this April are nothing short of seismic. At the heart of it all is Cristiano Ronaldo, still defying time and expectations. And for fans eager to follow every twist in real time, Livescore remains the go-to destination for breaking transfer alerts and live football insights.
Ronaldo to Al Nassr Until 42? The Legend Writes His Next Chapter
In a move that shocked some but inspired many, Saudi Pro League giants Al Nassr have offered Cristiano Ronaldo a new two-year contract that would keep him in Saudi Arabia until he’s 42. According to reports from Sportitalia, the Portuguese forward is considering extending his stay beyond the current deal, which expires in June 2025.
Ronaldo has been nothing short of sensational this season, scoring 30 goals in 34 appearances. While many doubted his move to Saudi Arabia in late 2022, the numbers and the performances have silenced critics. With his trademark discipline, leadership, and physical condition, Ronaldo continues to deliver—and Al Nassr want to reward that commitment with more time at the helm.
Earlier statements from Ronaldo indicated he might retire within “two or three years,” and this new deal could be his swan song in club football. Whether he stays or not, one thing is certain: his impact on Saudi football and the global transfer market is historic.
Barcelona Fear Saudi Swoop for Luis Díaz
As Ronaldo considers staying, Barcelona are concerned about losing their dream target—Liverpool’s Luis Díaz—to a rival Saudi Pro League club. The Colombian winger has been on Barcelona’s radar since last summer, but financial constraints have hampered any serious move.
Now, with the Saudi league making lucrative offers to top players, Barcelona are worried they’ll be outbid. Despite being in close contact with Díaz’s entourage, the Catalan club fears a mammoth financial package from Saudi Arabia could derail their ambitions once again.
Salah Nears Liverpool Extension Amid Transfer Chatter
Another winger in the spotlight is Mohamed Salah, who appears to be edging closer to signing a new deal with Liverpool. While Saudi clubs have courted the Egyptian superstar, sources suggest that he may extend his stay at Anfield. This would be a major boost for Liverpool, especially after losing Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino in recent seasons.
Huijsen Open to Real Madrid, Garnacho on Napoli Radar
Defensive talent is also drawing attention this summer. Juventus defender Dean Huijsen has refused to rule out a future move to Real Madrid, sparking speculation that Los Blancos are preparing a bid. The 19-year-old is seen as a long-term replacement for veterans like Nacho and David Alaba.
Meanwhile, Napoli are chasing Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho, hoping to replicate the success they had with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia before his move to PSG. Garnacho, 20, has been on Napoli’s wishlist since January, and they are now intensifying their pursuit.
Chelsea Target Liam Delap and Pavlidis in Attacking Overhaul
Chelsea are wasting no time preparing their summer strategy. The Blues are leading the race to sign Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, who has impressed with 12 goals this season. With Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca and director Joe Shields both having worked with Delap at Manchester City, the £30m-rated forward is seen as a priority—especially if Ipswich are relegated.
Additionally, Benfica’s Vangelis Pavlidis is another striker on Chelsea’s radar. The Greek international has racked up 24 goals and 10 assists in 46 matches. While his contract includes a €100m release clause, insiders believe Benfica would negotiate a slightly lower fee if the player expresses a desire to move.
Newcastle, Arsenal, Man City in Midfield Hunt
The summer of 2025 is also shaping up to be big for midfield signings, with several Premier League clubs eyeing major moves.
-
Liverpool are leading the charge for Inter Milan’s Nicolò Barella, though the Italian side has slapped a €100m+ price tag on their star.

Manchester City are preparing for life after Kevin De Bruyne and are monitoring Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães as a potential replacement.
-

Youth Movement: Jobe Bellingham and Ethan Nwaneri Make Waves
It’s not all about seasoned stars—young talent is equally hot on the market.
-
Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Arsenal are all fighting to sign Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham, younger brother of Jude Bellingham. His performances have drawn comparisons to his sibling, and clubs are willing to invest big.
-
Arsenal, meanwhile, are preparing a new contract for Ethan Nwaneri, one of England’s most promising under-21 players. Talks are expected to begin in the coming weeks as the Gunners look to secure their future.
Neymar’s Santos Future in the Balance
Elsewhere, the return of Neymar to Santos in January made global headlines. Now, club CEO Pedro Martins says he’s “optimistic” Neymar will extend his contract beyond June 30. After leaving Al Hilal, Neymar has rekindled his love for football in Brazil, but interest from other South American and European clubs remains strong.
Real Salt Lake and Roma Add Intrigue to Global Market
-
In MLS, Real Salt Lake are close to signing Boavista striker Róbert Bozeník as a Designated Player. Talks are advanced, and the club is reportedly exploring additional forward options.
