The women&#8217;s Euro is entering its final week with the semi-finals kicking off on Tuesday, and the transfer market has brought in new storylines to keep us engaged at the start of the week.

England is a favorite in this matchup, but they\u2019ve faced struggles, including a 2-1 loss in the group stage to France, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. Still, with 13 goals scored across four matches and 10 different scorers contributing, they have what it takes to outscore nearly any opponent.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Italy is not traditionally seen as a power in women&#8217;s football but has proved to be an exciting contender this summer. While not known for an offensive onslaught, they can still pose challenges to defenses, similar to France and Sweden, who troubled England. Leading the charge is Christiana Gilleri from Juventus, who has netted three goals, putting her in a position to challenge the Lionesses. Regardless of the outcome, Italy is already having a transformative summer, marking their first knockout victory since 1997.<\/p>\n<p>Gilleri noted the positive impact of manager Andrea Songsing, who has galvanized the team since taking over after the 2023 Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Gilleri:<\/strong> <em>&quot;He did an incredible job, bringing unity to the team and instilling confidence in us.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stream_Now\"><\/span>Stream Now<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%94%97_Midfield_Link_Play\"><\/span>\ud83d\udd17 Midfield Link Play<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Forward_Moves_in_the_Transfer_Window\"><\/span>Forward Moves in the Transfer Window<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Several major European clubs have confirmed their new attacking signings over the weekend, gearing up for the upcoming season. <\/p>\n<p>Some long-anticipated deals have been completed, including Noni Madueke moving from Chelsea to Arsenal, as well as Victor Osimhen&#8217;s transition from Napoli to Galatasaray. Madueke stands out as a significant addition to Arsenal\u2019s ambitions following a second-place finish in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Liverpool is reportedly finalizing a signing with Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, outbidding Newcastle United with a deal over $110 million. The 23-year-old is poised to bolster Liverpool&#8217;s offensive options, especially alongside new talents like Florian Wirtz.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Francesco Porzio:<\/strong> <em>&quot;Ekitike must prove he can compete at the level of Premier League champions.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In other transfer news, Barcelona has reached an agreement to loan Marcus Rashford from Manchester United with a buyout option.
