Europe’s major sides are preparing for a new season across the continent’s biggest leagues.
Although the Euro 2024 and Copa America tournaments only concluded in mid-July, players will not have long to rest and recuperate before the rigours of the 2024/25 club season gets fully underway.

Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool and AC Milan are among the teams who will be touring the United States in July and August, while others, such as Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, will spend time in Asia.
