The 22-year old’s move to the Allianz Arena comes amid interests from premier league rivals like Newcastle United.

One of Paris Saint Germain's 2024 done deals is the transfer of Mary Earps from Manchester United Women FC. PSG has confirmed the England goalkeeper will join the club on a free transfer at the end of her contract. The 31-year-old turned down an offer to sign a new deal at Leigh Sports Village.

The transfer market is packed with action as many football clubs across different leagues are completing their moves in preparation for the next season.

With the transfer window closing on 30 August, there are a lot of done deals to expect before then. Here are the latest names on the 2024 summer football transfer done deals:

Chelsea missed out on the chance to offload the striker last year and are desperate to do so this summer. However, Lukaku’s transfer is becoming a nightmare to the blues day in day out. Their hope for striking a quick sale deal for the striker isn't going as they hoped.

The Belgian striker spent the last season with AS Roma, and managed a great spell. Unfortunately, the Italian side isn't planning a permanent move due to the blues unreasonable asking price of €40 million. Tangible sources have it that Antonio Conte, newly appointed Napoli head coach is eyeing a reunion with the Chelsea player. Other offers for Lukaku are expected and Saudi Pro League are among the front runners.

Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag have been backed by the new co-owner, Jim Ractilife, to stage a serious team rebuild to prepare for the next season. It is imminent that this summer transfer window is going to be a busy one for the red devils.

On the top of their priority is a center back to replace Raphael Varane, who was released at the end of his contract at the end of the 2023/24 season. Allegedly, United has had their first bid for Jarrad Branthwaite turned down by Everton. According to the Daily Mail, they're planning on making a second offer. However, it is feared it won't meet Everton's asking price of around £80 million.

Viktor Gyokeres have been heavily linked with a move to Premier League side, Arsenal FC, this summer. Mikel Arteta has never been more eager to strengthen his squad after missing out on the Barclays Premier league title last season. Gyokeres, who still has a running contract with Sporting FC until June 2028, could fetch an eye watering price for the Jose Alvalade outfit. The striker scored 29 goals in 33 appearances last season and Arsenal are willing to do whatever it takes to have him sign this summer.

As Nico Williams continue to shine in the ongoing euro 2024 in Germany, the Spanish forward has attracted top Premier League giants like Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. According to Stuart Pearce, he believes the youngster's career has a better chance with the gunners at this moment in time. However, he adds that the decision always depends on the player and most of the time finances.

To beat competition, Arsenal are in talks to seal a deal for Nico Williams from Atletico Madrid. The Spanish winger has a release clause on his deal with the Madrid club, this could see the gunners part with around £47 million to sign him.

Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s boss, has been monitoring Dominic Calvert-Lewin for years now. With the summer transfer picking up the pace, Newcastle are looking for ways to bolster their striking force. The 27-year old Everton player might just be their right man. Newcastle are in talks with Everton FC on a deal for the striker, who has a year remaining on his contract with Goodison Park.

Who is moving across the English Premier League? Here is a detailed list of the players moving in and out of the Premier League for the summer transfer window 2024.
