The Athletic has unveiled its comprehensive Transfer Radar guide for 2025, offering insights into potential player movements across European football. The extensive report, released on February 13, now tracks 37 players of interest, up from the initial 25, and includes notable transfers that have already materialized during the winter window.
According to The Athletic's team of reporters, who gathered information from anonymous sources within recruitment departments, the guide features detailed analyses of high-profile players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Benjamin Sesko, Christopher Nkunku, Florian Wirtz, Martin Zubimendi, and Nico Williams. Three players - Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Omar Marmoush, and Abdukodir Khusanov - have already completed permanent transfers, while Evan Ferguson secured a loan move during the winter window.
In a notable development, goalkeeper Alvaro Valles recently departed Las Palmas after spending the entire season outside the squad. The 27-year-old, a lifelong Real Betis supporter, previously declined a €10 million offer from Marseille, preferring a move to his favored club. While Betis's €5 million bid was rejected by Las Palmas, Valles's recent release suggests a potential free transfer to Betis, though he won't be eligible to play until next season.
Valencia's promising defender Cristhian Mosquera, whose contract runs until 2026, has attracted significant attention from major clubs. Despite winter transfer interest, Mosquera remained committed to Valencia's relegation battle. Sources indicate that while his release clause is below €100 million, Valencia might consider summer offers at a lower valuation. The Spanish Under-21 international is viewed as a future senior national team prospect.
Southampton's Tyler Dibling, 18, has emerged as one of England's most promising talents, drawing interest from Premier League clubs and European teams despite Southampton's challenging season. With his current contract extending to 2027, negotiations for a new deal are ongoing, though the club's likely Championship relegation could influence his future transfer value.
The extensive report represents a collaborative effort from The Athletic's team, including respected journalists David Ornstein, James Pearce, and numerous other contributors, providing a comprehensive overview of potential transfer activities throughout 2025.
