Multiple established outlets report Manchester City have agreed a fee of €37.5 million plus up to €2.5 million in add-ons with Palmeiras for 21-year-old winger Allan Elias, though no club or league confirmation has been issued and a medical had not yet taken place as of the reports. The deal is understood as a potential response to Savinho's reported departure to Tottenham, which is itself unconfirmed pending a medical. Contract length, add-on triggers, and formal registration details remain absent from the public record.

The Premier League's voluntary ban on gambling brands from matchday shirt fronts took effect on 21 August 2026, with most clubs having secured technology or finance replacements but Chelsea entering the season without a confirmed front-of-shirt sponsor. Nottingham Forest signed financial services firm Marex days before the opener, while Sunderland confirmed a sponsor would be in place without disclosing the name. An industry estimate from one unnamed executive put the collective revenue shortfall at up to £80 million, with mid-table clubs reportedly accepting deals roughly half the value of their previous gambling arrangements.
