Soccer truly never stops. As preposterous as it might sound, considering the Women's Euros ended less than a week ago and the Club World Cup ended less than three weeks ago, the offseason is just about over. Champions League qualification is already underway, the Premier League 's 2025-26 campaign begins in two weeks, and all of Europe's big leagues will get rolling soon after.
Thanks to the awkwardness of Europe's transfer window closing a couple of weeks after the season begins, it's never easy to enter a new season knowing what rosters will look like when they're locked into place. Like everything else in this sport, it's a moving target. Still, a healthy percentage of this summer's business is done, and we know who has taken big swings at addressing last year's deficiencies.
