As the 2026 World Cup concludes, focus shifts to the summer transfer window where several tournament standouts could secure moves. Bradley Barcola impressed for France, scoring twice in seven appearances, but faces competition at PSG; Liverpool and Arsenal are monitoring the 23-year-old winger.

Ayyoub Bouaddi, 18, orchestrated Morocco's midfield en route to the quarter-finals, attracting interest from Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG.

Yan Diomande, 19, shone for Ivory Coast before their last-32 exit; Liverpool missed Leipzig's £100m valuation, leaving PSG and Manchester United in pursuit.

Djed Spence had a mixed England campaign but showed attacking promise, with Liverpool, Everton, and Inter Milan linked. John Stones became the first unattached player to represent England at a World Cup after his City contract expired; Juventus, Inter, and Leeds are interested.
