From Bouaddi to Balogun - The World Cup stars your club needs to sign

From Bouaddi to Balogun frames the 2026 World Cup as a springboard for transfer targets as the knockout stage begins. The article points to Ayyoub Bouaddi of Morocco, noting that he entered the tournament at 18 with more than 60 appearances in a top European league, and claims he has shown composure across roles in midfield. On June 29, Spanish outlet AS reported that Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are monitoring him. The piece also highlights Johan Manzambi’s World Cup impact for Switzerland after a strong 2025/26 run with Freiburg, including three World Cup goals. For offense, it cites Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda, describing a Netherlands scoring surge with 25 goals in 31 games and a brace versus Tunisia, while positioning clubs as potential summer-window destinations.
