Jun 26, 2026, 19:46

Introduction

Several top European football clubs are currently making big changes to their squads through expensive new signings, ending contracts by mutual agreement, and updating their youth development strategies.

目前幾家歐洲頂級足球俱樂部正透過高價簽下新球員、協議終止合約以及更新青訓策略，對其陣容進行重大調整。

Main Body

Real Madrid, led by Jose Mourinho, has started a complete update of its squad. The club has signed Bernardo Silva, Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella, and Denzel Dumfries; however, Dumfries will be announced after July 1 to improve the club's financial records for the 2026/27 year. To avoid having too many players, the club ended Dani Ceballos's contract and sold Nico Paz to Como for about €60 million, although they kept the option to buy him back. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona is changing its reserve team by letting five players leave, including goalkeeper Ander Astralaga. Furthermore, the club refuses to sell midfielder Marc Bernal because his €500 million release clause prevents other teams from the Premier League from signing him.

由若澤·穆里尼奧領軍的皇家馬德里已經開始全面更新陣容。球會簽下了 Bernardo Silva、Ibrahima Konate、Marc Cucurella 以及 Denzel Dumfries；然而，Dumfries 將在 7 月 1 日之後才公布，以改善球會 2026/27 年度的財務記錄。為了避免球員人數過多，球會終止了 Dani Ceballos 的合約，並將 Nico Paz 以約 6,000 萬歐元賣給 Como，但保留了回購權。與此同時，FC 巴塞隆納正透過讓五名球員（包括門將 Ander Astralaga）離隊來調整其預備隊。此外，球會拒絕出售中場 Marc Bernal，因為他 5 億歐元的違約金阻止了英超其他球隊簽下他。

In Italy, AC Milan has completed a record-breaking deal to sign Goncalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain. The price is between €53 million and €75 million, depending on the player's performance. This deal was possible because of the good relationship between owners Gerry Cardinale and Nasser Al-Khelaifi, as well as the request of coach Ruben Amorim. At the same time, AS Roma is looking for new midfielders after finishing third in Serie A. The management wants players with high endurance and tactical discipline to fit Gasperini's system, and they may use the €50 million they expect to get from selling Manu Koné to Arsenal.

在義大利，AC 米蘭完成了一筆破紀錄的交易，從巴黎聖日耳曼簽下 Goncalo Ramos。根據球員表現，價格在 5,300 萬至 7,500 萬歐元之間。這筆交易之所以可行，是因為老闆 Gerry Cardinale 與 Nasser Al-Khelaifi 關係良好，以及總教練 Ruben Amorim 的要求。同時，AS 羅馬在義大利足球甲級聯賽獲得第三名後，正在尋找新的中場球員。管理層希望找尋耐力強且戰術紀律高的球員以符合 Gasperini 的體系，並可能使用出售 Manu Koné 給亞森納預計獲得的 5,000 萬歐元。

There is also a lot of competition for specific players. Napoli and Newcastle United are both trying to sign winger Abde Ezzalzouli from Real Betis. In England, Arsenal and Tottenham want to buy Sandro Tonali from Newcastle, who is valued at over €100 million. Additionally, there is tension between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona over Julian Alvarez. Although Alvarez wants to move to Barcelona, a final decision is not expected until after the World Cup.

同時也有許多球員引起爭奪。拿波利與紐卡斯爾聯都試圖簽下來自皇家貝蒂斯的邊鋒 Abde Ezzalzouli。在英格蘭，亞森納與熱刺希望從紐卡斯爾買入估值超過 1 億歐元的 Sandro Tonali。此外，馬德里競技與巴塞隆納在 Julian Alvarez 身上存在緊張關係。雖然 Alvarez 希望轉會至巴塞隆納，但預計在世界盃之後才會有最終決定。

Conclusion

The current transfer window is defined by aggressive spending and tactical changes as clubs prepare for the 2026-27 season.

本次轉會視窗的特徵是激進的支出與戰術變動，因為各俱樂部正為 2026-27 賽季做準備。
