In a dramatic finale to the Summer transfer window 2025, two major Premier League transfers were sealed. The Alexander Isak transfer to Liverpool has been confirmed, alongside the Donnarumma transfer to Manchester City. According to credible reports, Liverpool agreed a British-record fee (around £125m) to sign the 25-year-old Swedish striker. At the same time, PSG’s 26-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, free to leave Paris Saint-Germain, is set to join Manchester City once Ederson departs for Fenerbahçe. Both deals were widely reported as “done deals” on Deadline Day, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and others confirming the moves.
Alexander Isak Transfer: Liverpool’s New Striker
Liverpool has agreed to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. This blockbuster Alexander Isak transfer makes Isak the Reds’ most expensive signing ever, eclipsing their previous record (Florian Wirtz, £100m). Isak, a 25-year-old centre-forward from Sweden, arrived at Liverpool’s training ground to undergo medical tests before signing a six-year contract. Sources have said that an agreement is in place, confirming the move on Deadline Day. Fabrizio Romano and other transfer insiders described the Isak deal as a “done deal” in Liverpool transfer news today, reflecting the certainty around the fee and paperwork.
Alexander Isak was one of the top scorers in England last season. His 2024/25 Alexander Isak stats were outstanding: he played 42 games and scored 27 goals across all competitions. In the Premier League alone, he scored 23 goals in 34 appearances, making him Newcastle’s top scorer for the campaign. To put this in context, Isak’s move will make him not only Liverpool’s record signing but also the most expensive player in Premier League history, surpassing the £115m Moisés Caicedo transfer of 2023.

Donnarumma Transfer: New Goalkeeper for Man City
Gianluigi Donnarumma is leaving PSG and heading to Manchester City in this transfer window. The Donnarumma transfer was confirmed by multiple sources: City are closing in on an agreement to sign the Italian goalkeeper, pending only Ederson’s move to Fenerbahçe.
Sports journalists reported that once Ederson’s transfer is “here we go,” Donnarumma will be PSG’s expected replacement at the Etihad Stadium. Fabrizio Romano even tweeted “Éderson to Fenerbahçe, here we go!…
Up next: Donnarumma and City,” indicating the swap was imminent. In short, what happened to Gianluigi Donnarumma is that he parted ways with PSG (after the club sought a different goalkeeping profile ) and is set to join Manchester City as their new No.1.
Donnarumma brings a wealth of experience. At 26, he is already a Champions League winner and Italy’s Euro 2021 Player of the Tournament. Last season with PSG, he played every major match: 47 games across all competitions. He kept 17 clean sheets in those games, conceding 43 goals in 4192 minutes. His clean-sheet stats by competition were: 5 in 24 Ligue 1 games, 6 in 15 Champions League games, plus a Club World Cup (5 CS in 7 games) and a Super Cup (1 CS in 1 game)].
These numbers underline his quality as a shot-stopper. City’s manager Pep Guardiola now has a proven goalkeeper to replace Ederson. Donnarumma’s new club, Manchester City, will officially announce his signing once all paperwork is done.
| Competition | Appearances | Clean Sheets |
| Ligue 1 | 24 | 5 |
| Champions League | 15 | 6 |
| Club World Cup | 7 | 5 |
| French Super Cup (Trophée) | 1 | 1 |
| Total (2024/25) | 47 | 17 |
