Official: Juventus sell Mbangula to Werder Bremen
Juventus have confirmed that Werder Bremen will pay a fee of €10m over four instalments, plus bonuses of up to €2m. The Bianconeri have also confirmed that the sale of the recent Belgium international has raised €6.9m in capital gains.
The 21-year-old has reportedly signed a five-year contract in northern Germany, which will run until the summer of 2030.
Werder had an initial bid of €8m plus add-ons turned down by The Old Lady just over a week ago, according to reports in Italy.
Official: Mbangula joins Werder Bremen from Juventus
Mbangula leaves Juventus after a five-year association that began with his transfer from Anderlecht in the summer of 2020. He spent four years with the Primavera and Next Gen teams, before being thrown into the first-team set-up under Thiago Motta at the start of the 2024-25 season.
Mbangula marked his first competitive start in the Juve senior side with the team's opening goal of the 2024-25 Serie A season in a 3-0 win over newly-promoted Como in the first weekend of the season.

He would go on to score three Serie A goals last season, plus another against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. Only Kenan Yildiz (six), Khephren Thuram and Dusan Vlahovic (both five) provided more Serie A assists than the Belgian last term (four).
'We are very pleased that we were able to sign Samuel and that he has made a long-term decision to join Werder,' said Peter Niemeyer, sporting director at Werder Bremen.
He continued: 'We see a lot of potential in him. He enjoyed an excellent education in Belgium and especially at Juve and proved his quality at the highest level with Juventus' professionals last season.
'For us, this is a transfer that we have implemented with full conviction. We have always said that we are also willing to invest if we are convinced of a player and his potential. This is absolutely the case with Samuel. We are convinced that he will help us directly with his quality.'

Barcelona reach conclusion on transfer business for remainder of window
Barcelona fans are once again watching the days trickle down towards the start of the Liga season, on the 16th of August in this instance, with no certainty on whether their new signings will be in action. The Blaugrana are yet to register Joan Garcia, Marcus Rashford or Roony Bardghji. As was the case last summer, Barcelona are hoping to activate the injury rule in order to push through the registration of Garcia, but so far do not have the green light from goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who had surgery last week. As such, Hansi Flick will face a wait to see whether his three new additions are available for their La Liga debut at RCD Mallorca. Barcelona settled on transfer business While they may be operating in a climate of uncertainty, Barcelona's hierarchy are content with the squad once everyone has been registered. MD report that both Flick and Director of Football Deco consider the signings at an end for this summer, and provide there are no significant exits, there will be no more arrivals. The German coach considers his squad to covered across the pitch by at least two players per position, and The Athletic also corroborate their information. Image via Marca Could there still be exits at Barcelona? Barcelona have certainly floated the idea of a number of sales in the media over the last two months, including Ferran Torres, Marc Casado, Fermin Lopez, Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, but thus far none have opened the door to a departure. Flick is happy to keep all of the above. The most likely exits still to come are Inaki Pena, Hector Fort and Oriol Romeu. If he were to decide to leave, Barcelona would also be happy to bid farewell to ter Stegen this summer, easing their wage bill concerns.

Ipswich Town transfer rumour: Trio linked with right-back swoop
Three teams are reportedly eyeing a move for Ipswich Town defender Harry Clarke. SportsBoom claim that Championship sides Bristol City and Coventry City, as well as Scottish Premiership outfit Hibernian, are all vying for the 24-year-old's signature. Clarke has dealt with various injury issues in the last two years. He is currently sidelined with a knee ligament issue that could rule him out for an extended period. He helped the Blues secure promotion from League One up to the Premier League, playing seven games in the top flight last season before joining Sheffield United on loan. The season is nearly here. Stay ahead of the game with our full coverage – now 50% off. Town are well-stocked at right-back, with Ashley Young and Ben Johnson seemingly ahead of Clarke in the pecking order. Verdict It doesn't make sense for Ipswich to carry three right-backs in their squad - especially when Dara O'Shea can also cover that position. With that in mind, a departure - loan or permanent - would make sense for Clarke, but the big question mark is his injury. At the time of writing, we don't know how long he will be out for, but the indication is that it won't be a short-term injury. If he did depart, you'd think that a Championship move would appeal over the Scottish Premiership. If Coventry were to lose Milan van Ewijk, who has been heavily linked with a move to Wolfsburg, it would certainly make sense - just not if he's going to be sidelined for a long time.

Manchester City midfielder Oyama joins FC Rosengård on loan
Manchester City midfielder Aemu Oyama has joined Swedish OBOS Damallsvenskan club FC Rosengård on loan. The deal was announced by FC Rosengård this morning via a post on their official club website. The 20-year-old will spend the remainder of the OBOS Damallsvenskan season with FC Rosengård as she furthers her development. Oyama joined Manchester City from Japanese SOMPO WE League club Tokyo Verdy Beleza back in January. She signed a two-and-half-year deal at The Joie Stadium. Oyama's game time has been very limited at Manchester City and she is now going out on loan to build further experience of playing football in Europe. After sealing a loan move for Oyama, FC Rosengård's sports director, Emelie Lundberg said 'Oyama is a player that we have been scouting for a while. She got the chance at Manchester City but playing time has been limited there. We have now agreed with Manchester City on a loan for the rest of the season to help with her development. 'She is a technical footballer with a good understanding of the game who we see can contribute to competition in the squad – which makes the players better. We look forward to seeing what Oyama can contribute during the autumn.' Oyama will return to Manchester City for the second half of the Barclays Women's Super League season.
