Argentina will play Spain in the World Cup final after a late turnaround against England in Atlanta. England led before Argentina struck twice near the end to seal a semifinal win and book their place in the showpiece match. England will now meet France in the third-place game. Spain have a concern before the final after Lamine Yamal missed training, while FIFA confirmed the winners will receive Super Bowl-style rings.

The rest of the day was led by transfer business and contract decisions in Italy. Atalanta tied midfielder Ederson down to a new deal through June 2031, while Roma renewed the contracts of Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante. Juventus completed the permanent signing of Zeki Celik from Roma.

Leeds United finalized one of the biggest deals in the market, signing defender Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo in a reported €40 million move, with half of the fee going to Juventus. Fiorentina pushed ahead with the arrival of Christ Inao Oulai from Trabzonspor for €25 million plus €4 million in add-ons and a 10 percent future sale clause, with the player already in Italy to complete the transfer. Genoa brought in Hamed Junior Traore from Marseille on loan with an option to buy worth €10 million.

There were a few notable developments elsewhere. Chelsea are close to selling Trevoh Chalobah to Como in a £27 million deal, while Robin Gosens completed his move from Fiorentina to Schalke 04. Andrea Belotti remains a free agent after failing a medical with Cagliari. Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani returned to training with the club’s U19 side as Juventus continue their pursuit.
