Several notable transfers have taken place during the World Cup, with players making significant moves that might have slipped under the radar. Here’s a summary of key transfers:

• Leandro Trossard to Besiktas: Just before England's semi-final against Argentina, Trossard completed a £15.3m move to Istanbul after a solid stint at Arsenal, where he scored 36 goals in 174 appearances. He leaves as a cult hero of the Mikel Arteta era.

• Nathaniel Brown to Bayern Munich: Following a lackluster World Cup for Germany, Brown's performances at left-back earned him a spot at Bayern. The Bavarian native has a promising future ahead as he joins a team needing defensive stability.

• Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid: The Dutch right-back signed a four-year deal after his release clause was activated, joining a list of free transfers that includes Bernardo Silva. Dumfries has been a standout performer in international competitions.

• Emersonn to Ipswich: The Brazilian striker moved for £24m after just one season in Ligue 1. His potential as a modern target man excites Ipswich's management.

• Harry Winks to Cagliari: After struggling with injuries, Winks seeks a fresh start in Italy. His past experience in Serie A could provide the stability he needs at this stage of his career.

• Mathys Detourbet to Manchester City: The 19-year-old winger made a £21.6m move from Troyes, with plans to loan him out to Monaco for further development.

• Illan Meslier to Arsenal: Joining on a free transfer, Meslier aims to challenge for the No. 1 spot, potentially replacing Kepa Arrizabalaga.

• Gonçalo Ramos to Milan: The club broke their transfer record with a £60.2m deal for Ramos, who now seeks to be a leading figure in Milan's attack.

• Robert Lewandowski to Chicago Fire: Despite Poland's absence from the World Cup, Lewandowski transitions to MLS, aiming to replicate his previous success in Europe under new coach Gregg Berhalter.

• Jakub Kaminski to Köln and Benfica: Kaminski's dual transfer adds depth to both clubs as they prepare for the upcoming season.
