The 2024 winter transfer window was notably quiet, largely due to FIFA’s financial fair play regulations, which forced many clubs to cut back and spend only within their means. As a result, there were very few major transfers at the start of the year, and no club from Europe’s top five leagues spent more than €31 million. However, with major tournaments like Euro 2024, Copa America 2024, and the 2024 Olympic Games now complete, it’s expected that the summer 2024 transfer window will see money flowing again. Here are 8 major transfer rumors collected by V9Bet that are highly likely to happen.
The presence of major tournaments like Euro 2024, Copa America 2024, and the Olympic Games 2024 means clubs are working hard in the summer 2024 transfer window to bring in top talent. With many clubs looking to rebuild after the 2023/24 season, they will be spending heavily to reclaim success. Below are 8 blockbuster deals that could happen in the next few days.
Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid
After rejecting a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé has become a top target for many major clubs. While there have been rumors linking him to Liverpool in the Premier League, it seems almost inevitable that he will don the famous white shirt of Real Madrid. Negotiations between Mbappé and Madrid have been ongoing, and it's now just a matter of time before the 25-year-old striker arrives at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Victor Osimhen to Chelsea
If you've been keeping an eye on the live football results, you'll know that Napoli’s 2023/24 season was chaotic. The departure of coach Luciano Spalletti left the Serie A champions struggling, finishing 9th in the league. Victor Osimhen, who had led Napoli to the title, became a scapegoat for some fans. Despite recently signing a contract extension in December, the new terms make it easier for him to leave Napoli. This has reignited rumors linking him to Chelsea, especially with the underwhelming performances of Jackson Martínez.
Florian Wirtz to Bayern Munich
Florian Wirtz has been a shining star in the Bundesliga, scoring 18 goals and providing 20 assists in 49 matches. Bayer Leverkusen’s 2023/24 season was miraculous, winning the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal and reaching the UEFA Europa League final. Bayern Munich is now reportedly interested in signing the 20-year-old playmaker, and it's only a matter of time before this transfer happens, if not this summer, then the next.
Ivan Toney to Arsenal
Ivan Toney has been linked with Arsenal multiple times, but prying him away from Brentford has not been easy. Even though Toney was banned from football for 8 months for his involvement in betting scandals, he has been excellent since his return to the field. With Gabriel Jesus struggling with injuries and Eddie Nketiah potentially leaving, this summer could be the perfect time for Arsenal to make a serious move for Toney.
Alphonso Davies to Real Madrid
Alphonso Davies is currently one of the best left-backs in the world, but at 23, it seems he’s seeking a new challenge outside of the Bundesliga. With just one year left on his contract and no progress in extension talks, it’s likely Bayern Munich will sell him in the 2024 summer transfer window, rather than risk losing him for free next year. Real Madrid is reportedly very interested, and it’s now a question of whether they’ll pay the fee or wait to sign him for free.
Thiago Alcantara to Barcelona
At 33, Thiago Alcantara is set to become a free agent in the summer of 2024. Injuries plagued his 2023/24 season, limiting him to just one appearance for Liverpool. While concerns about his fitness remain, his brilliance on the pitch is undeniable. Returning to Barcelona, where his career began, could be a perfect fit, especially as the Catalan giants continue to grapple with financial difficulties.

Lautaro Martínez’s Transfer Rumors
Lautaro Martínez is not only Inter Milan’s top striker but also the team’s captain, with a contract until 2029. However, it’s widely believed that his talents are too great for Serie A, and he’s open to offers from other top clubs. Rumors from V9Bet sources link him with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Chelsea.
Mohamed Salah to a Saudi Arabian Club
Interest from Saudi Arabian clubs in Mohamed Salah is no secret. Liverpool previously turned down a £200 million offer to keep the Egyptian star at Anfield. However, with Jürgen Klopp set to leave the club in the summer of 2024, this could be the perfect time for Salah to make his final big-money move, accepting a lucrative offer from the Middle East.
