VHO - The summer transfer market in 2025 continues to be bustling with a series of notable deals. Chelsea agreed to sell Carney Chukwuemeka to Dortmund for 20 million euros, Man United is stuck in finding a home for Antony, while Douglas Luiz officially joined Nottingham Forest on loan. In addition, Inter, Wolves and AC Milan also continuously announced important steps.

Chelsea is about to have another 20 million euros thanks to player sales

Along with the plan to bring quality new players to Stamford Bridge, Chelsea is also very active in replacing redundant personnel.

In the latest move, The Blues have agreed to sell Carney Chukwuemeka to Borussia Dortmund for a fee of 20 million euros, excluding additional fees and a clause to receive a percentage of the future resale value.

In addition to the 21-year-old midfielder, the London giants also agreed to let another young talent, defender Aaron Anselmino, join Dortmund on loan until the end of the season, but without a buyout clause.

Man United want to sell Antony.

Out of patience with Betis, Man United tries to find a new destination for Antony

According to Sky Sports, although they really want to recruit Antony, the tight financial situation has become the biggest obstacle for the La Liga representative to achieve their wish.

Sevilla have not given up on this headache-inducing deal and are considering various financial options to make an official offer to Man United before the 2025 summer transfer window closes.

In which, the loan plan with a buyout clause is considered the most optimal for Betis. However, Man United only wants to sell outright and is very firm with their point of view.

If they cannot reach an agreement with Betis soon, the Red Devils are expected to invite a number of teams to buy Antony, including those playing in the Premier League such as Brighton or Crystal Palace. The Seagulls are considered the leading candidate after losing Joao Pedro to Chelsea.

But before that, Brighton did not approve the plan to bring Antony in as part of the contract to buy Carlos Baleba from the Old Trafford team.

Therefore, the Brazilian star's future is still very uncertain and in case he cannot find a new destination, he may have to train with the youth team and wait for the opportunity to leave in the winter transfer window.

Douglas Luiz joins Nottingham Forest on loan.

Nottingham welcomes quality new recruits

Nottingham Forest's homepage announced that it has completed the deal to recruit midfielder Douglas Luiz on loan from Juventus, with a 30 million euro option to buy.

The Brazilian star only arrived in Turin last summer with a 5-year contract and a price tag of up to 50 million euros from Aston Villa.

However, in Serie A, the 27-year-old midfielder could not show himself, he only played 19 matches and did not contribute any goals.

The statistics are modest compared to his previous impressive performances for Villa. While playing in the Premier League, Luiz contributed 22 goals and 24 assists in more than 200 appearances for the Birmingham team.

Wolves reach agreement to welcome new recruit for 30 million euros

Wolves are very close to signing Ladislav Krejci from Girona, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The two sides have agreed a deal for around £30m but there is still some discussion about the payment structure.

The 26-year-old midfielder is likely to fly to England soon to undergo a medical and is unlikely to be included in the Wolves squad for the second round of the Premier League this weekend. The Czech Republic international was considered an important factor in Girona's squad last season. He played 28 matches in La Liga and contributed 2 goals.

The 7th star to defect from Leverkusen

According to Sky Germany, Bayer Leverkusen have accepted AC Milan's loan request for striker Victor Boniface. In return, the German runners-up will receive a 5 million euro loan fee and allow Milan a 24 million euro option to buy.

The 24-year-old striker still needs to pass a medical before signing a contract with the Rossoneri. If he plays well and is retained, the Nigerian international could be signed on a 5-year contract.

Boniface became the seventh notable face to say goodbye to BayArena after the arrival of coach Erik ten Hag. Previously, the departures of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Amine Adli, Granit Xhaka, Jonathan Tah, Matej Kovar helped Leverkusen earn more than 230 million euros.

Inter are about to have Andy Diouf

Inter Milan's offer of 20 million euros, plus 5 million euros in add-ons, for Andy Diouf has been accepted by Lens. The 22-year-old French midfielder is expected to fly to Italy within the next 24 hours to complete a medical before signing a contract with the Nerazzurri until the summer of 2030.

Lens have previously rejected offers worth €20 million, including add-ons, from Napoli and several Premier League clubs for the former France U21 international. Despite his young age, Diouf has been a key figure in the Ligue 1 side's midfield over the past two seasons, making 67 appearances and scoring two goals.
