Typically, transfer window analysis focuses on finalized deals, record-breaking fees, and overall club spending. However, our selection shifts the focus to the true stars of the transfer window — the players generating the most buzz. By applying our new AI technology and four key criteria to analyze millions of data points, we've identified the players who were at the center of attention and the subject of the most intense speculation this summer — the Top 100 Stars of the Transfer Window 2024.
1

Interested Clubs

This criterion evaluates both the total number of clubs linked to a player and the level of those clubs. Players who attract interest from a larger number of clubs, especially top-tier and elite teams, are rated higher.
2

Rumour Intensity

This criterion highlights players with persistent rumours that captured fan attention for weeks or months, with coverage in both local and global media. Those rumours are valued higher than brief or isolated mentions of potential transfers.
3

Rumour Stage

This criterion gives more weight to players with reported negotiations or confirmed transfers, as opposed to those linked by early interest alone.
4

Transfer Amount

This criterion considers the rumoured transfer fee, with larger amounts indicating greater significance and brighter spotlight in the window.
