What’s New
Latest updates and improvements to Transferithm
Your club's page now shows the same cards as the main feed
If you follow one club you land on its page, and it used to draw every move as its own kind of card and open its own kind of panel. Both are now the same as the main feed: the same card before you tap, and the same panel after — every club linked with the player, who reported it, and the evidence. Completed transfers still open the player summary with career, contract and position, because a move that has already happened does not need a verdict on whether it fits. Going back to the full feed from your club works properly again with the browser back button, which it did not before. We also fixed an undercount: when we said how a club usually signs players, we were leaving out about a third of their signings from the past year, so some clubs looked like they barely bought anyone. The counts are now complete.
Take a lookSee which outlets actually call transfers right — before they happen
The track record now shows two ratings for every outlet and journalist: the tier we assigned them, and the tier their own record earns. The earned one is judged only on early stories — the ones that say a club is interested, before anything is official. Once a report says a deal is agreed almost everyone is right, so those stories cannot tell you who is good; guessing early is the hard part, so that is what we grade. It is a hard test: across closed transfer windows only about 1 in 10 early stories ends in a transfer. The two ratings disagree for most outlets. We also removed a score from this page that was measuring the wrong thing, and now say plainly what our rumour score is and is not: it rates how well-supported a story is, not the percentage chance a transfer happens.
Take a lookDark mode, on a switch you control
Transferithm now has a proper dark theme, and it only ever turns on when you ask for it — the toggle sits in the app bar on every screen size, including phones, and your choice is remembered on this device. It never follows your system setting on its own, so the site will not change under you. Light stays the default. Club and league crests that used to disappear against a dark background now sit on their own subtle chip so every badge stays readable in both themes, and the toggle shows the theme you are switching TO rather than the one you are in.
Take a lookFind your country's players — and more accurate player identification
Search any country — Colombia, Nigeria, England — and a new "Players from" result filters the feed to rumors about that country's players, wherever in the world they play: English players abroad included. Countries with tracked leagues keep their existing club filter alongside it. Player cards now show nationality next to age and position. Under the hood, the pipeline now cross-checks the age and nationality an article actually states before matching a rumor to a player, so a story about a 17-year-old Colombian can no longer be pinned to a 32-year-old Spanish namesake — when no reliable match exists, we show nothing rather than the wrong player.
Take a lookSearch understands leagues and countries — and one-tap league filters
Searching "EPL", "English Premier League", "Brasileirão" or "Holland" now finds the right league or country, and picking one filters the feed to it — including a fix for country searches that previously came back empty ("England" now filters to English clubs instead of a blank feed). League results show their country so the two Serie As can't be confused. And a new row of league logos sits above the feed next to the club crests: one tap filters the feed to that league, tap again to clear.
Take a lookFollow your club — and see WC form where sources cite it
A new star on club pages and feed cards lets you follow your club — saved on this device only, no account, one tap to follow or unfollow. Followed clubs pin a clearly-labeled "Following" section to the top of the feed (the full feed continues below, untouched), the app bar gains a fast path to your club, and following exactly one club lands you straight on its corridor. Separately, the World Cup has concluded: where a source explicitly cited a player’s WC performance for a transfer story, the card now carries a "WC ’26 · FINAL" evidence chip and a WC-linked marker that opens the verbatim cited sentence with attribution — the form index is frozen at the final and always labeled as such, and /wc/form is now the concluded archive.
Take a lookA lighter, faster feed that loads as you scroll
The homepage feed now brings in cards as you scroll instead of rendering everything up front — about two dozen at first paint, then more just before you reach them. Nothing is hidden: the status tabs still count every confirmed and claimed deal exactly, the All tab still shows "N+" while more stories exist, and a Load more button remains for keyboards and screen readers. On phones this cuts the initial render weight by roughly eighty percent.
Take a lookNew manager, real evidence: fit lines from his last job
When a manager is newly appointed, his new club has no matches under him to observe — so the corridor’s fit lines now draw on his previous job instead, and say so plainly: "Fits his 4-2-3-1 at Real Madrid — natural centre-forward". The shape comes from the formations his former team actually fielded during his tenure there (never a guess, minimum five real matches), and the label always names where the evidence was observed — because a manager’s shape at a new club isn’t a fact until he has picked teams there. Where no recent, attributable prior spell exists, the line keeps its "estimated" wording or stays hidden.
Take a lookThe track record now measures what actually happened
The outlet and journalist boards changed what they measure. Before, a source’s rate counted how often their own stories carried done-deal language. Now it answers the question that matters: of the deals a source reported, how many actually completed — verified against official transfer data. Only resolved reports count toward the rate (the move completed, was reported off, or is more than 60 days old); open sagas sit out of the denominator, so a reporter covering live deals is never penalized for stories that just need time. The boards move automatically as transfers complete. The calibration and score-quality sections keep their separate, clearly-labeled confirming-signal measure.
Take a lookManager fit, in plain language, on each corridor card
Corridor cards for live incoming links now carry one plain sentence on how the player’s registered position maps to the manager’s formation — "Fits the estimated 3-4-2-1 — natural second striker", or the honest opposite ("No winger slot in the estimated 3-5-2 — likely a wing-back role"). It is positional context — the formation is marked as an estimate when it is one — never a score and never a call on whether the move happens. The line appears only when the manager is confidently known, a formation is available, and the player has a registered position. Also fixed: a club whose reported appointment had since completed showed its manager as his own successor (incoming and outgoing at once) — the two records are now recognized as the same person.
Take a lookDeals that fall through now say so: "Reported off"
When fresh, reliable reporting says a deal has fallen through — a failed medical, a club statement, credible "deal off" coverage — the move now carries a plain "Reported off" label on the corridor, the feed, and the player profile, instead of quietly dropping back to tracking. The label is honest about what it is: reported, not final. If the saga revives and fresh confirmations arrive, it clears automatically; if the transfer completes and registers in official data, Official always wins. A reported-off link also never buries a player’s live links to other clubs, and it ages out of the corridor like any other non-official link.
Take a lookA lighter feed with Load more, and a shorter walk to the score charts
The main feed no longer downloads every tracked link before showing anything: it now loads the first stretch of the rumor stream and adds a Load more button at the end — roughly half the data on first paint, and phones have far fewer cards to lay out at once. The Confirmed and Deal Claimed tabs are unaffected by paging: every deal in those tabs is always loaded, so their counts stay exact. On the track record page, the outlet and journalist boards now open with their top five rows and a button stating exactly how many rows the full list holds — the score-quality and score-distribution sections are no longer a long scroll away.
Take a lookWorld Cup links unfrozen, a faster feed, and an unblocked feedback button
The World Cup links page had quietly frozen in late June: new form-cited stories were being captured every day, but the nightly job that computes each player’s tournament form snapshot was being cut off before it could run, so fresh strong links hid in the “Emerging” bucket. The job now runs the snapshot pass first and the backlog is filled — the strong and moderate sections now carry current stories again. The main feed also loads faster: two independent lookups that ran one after another now run together, and the per-card RITHM meta scores — silently failing to load on the full feed — are back. Finally, the floating feedback button now tucks away as you scroll down, so it stays out of the way of the source link on a story card.
Take a lookCollapsed deals stand down — and namesakes resolved for good
When a deal falls through — a failed medical, a club statement, credible “deal off” reporting — the card now stands down: fresh, reliable rejection reports outweigh older confirmation signals, and the move drops back to plain tracking instead of continuing to read “near-official”. A completed, officially registered transfer is a fact and is never downgraded. Under the hood, the player-name matcher also got the overhaul behind several recent mistaken identities: accented names (Éderson, Gündoğan, Ødegaard, Zieliński) now compare correctly against plain-ASCII reporting in every step, the article’s stated selling club now vetoes wrong-club namesakes, and a new multilingual test suite locks all of it in place.
Take a lookPlayer profiles open much faster — and calmer corridor cables
Opening a player’s profile from a corridor or the feed was taking several seconds; the lookups behind it now run in parallel instead of one after another, and the source-tier labels for all of a player’s links arrive in a single request instead of one per card — profiles now open in a fraction of the time. On the corridor, the connecting cables no longer chase the crest during a fast scroll: they fade out while you’re flicking and plug back in the moment you settle, so they never appear detached. And another mistaken identity is fixed: reports about Atalanta’s Éderson had been credited to a different, similarly named player — the record is corrected.
Take a lookTrack record: a sharper look at our own rating
Two new instruments on the track-record page, both pointed at ourselves. A Brier score measures how good our internal rating actually is against confirming signals — shown next to what always guessing the base rate would score, so the number is interpretable (right now our rating scores worse than that baseline, and the page shows the negative skill figure). And a score-distribution chart shows where our ratings land — today they bunch in the middle instead of committing. Journalist bylines also got fairer treatment: reporters now appear from ten tracked rumors, with small samples labeled “Thin”, instead of being hidden by a sample-size rule tuned for whole outlets.
Take a lookCorridor tune-up: loan returns not pushed out, smoother cables
Three corridor refinements. A loan return now keeps its place at the bottom of a busy corridor column instead of being pushed out by the fifteen-deal display cap — it is a standing fact, not a deal competing for a slot. The connecting cables trail the club crest far less when you scroll (the redraw loop now does a fraction of the layout work per frame) — a later update the same day finishes the job for fast flicks. And a mistaken duplicate has been cleaned up: a report about Chelsea’s Andrey Santos had been credited to a different, similarly named player — the record is corrected and the phantom card is gone.
Take a lookLoan returns read as loan returns — plus mobile polish
A loaned player’s link back to their parent club is a contract fact, not a transfer story — and now the feed, the corridor, and the player profile all say so. The corridor card shows a calm “Loan return” tag even when the return is registered in official data (it previously flashed “Official” like a brand-new signing), the feed applies the same rule, the player profile frames that link as a loan return instead of “sources claiming done”, and a return no longer hides the player’s genuine links to other clubs. On phones: the player profile now stacks into one column instead of clipping, the duplicate linked-in/out counters above the Incoming/Outgoing switch are gone, share cards always fit the screen, and the gentle card-floating animation is desktop-only.
Take a lookClub corridors: recent activity and shareable signal cards
Club pages grew two pieces. A “Recent activity” timeline below the corridor lays out the club’s transfer story in order — first links, confirming signals, completed moves, and reported coach changes — built only from what the corridor already shows. And every deal card in the corridor now has a share icon that opens a clean, screenshot-ready signal card with the move, its current status, the source evidence behind it, and our standing disclaimer — we track signal, we don’t predict outcomes.
Take a lookWorld Cup player sheets open instantly
Tapping a player on the World Cup form page now opens their sheet with the player’s name and photo immediately, with a clear “pulling tournament stats” note while the numbers load — no more darkened screen with nothing on it. The stats lookup behind the sheet was also reworked to fetch everything it can in parallel, so the full sheet arrives noticeably faster, especially on phones.
Take a lookClub corridors drop dead rumors
When a player goes official or near-official with one club, their weaker links to other clubs are now cleared out of those clubs’ corridors — a completed move to Bayern no longer leaves the player listed as a Juventus target. The rule is careful in both directions: a months-old “nearly done” deal that never happened does not hide fresh reporting, two genuinely competing near-official links both stay visible, and fresh links that start after a completed move (a possible next transfer) are kept. Same signals, less noise.
Take a lookA faster Transferithm, everywhere
A two-day speed pass across the whole site. The World Cup Form board no longer recomputes its index on every visit — it is prepared in the background the moment new match data lands, so the page answers instantly, and its payload is a third of what it was. The homepage and thirteen other pages are now served from a cache close to you, the feed ships less than half the data it used to (the full analysis text now loads only when you open a card’s detail sheet — what you see on the cards is unchanged), club pages refresh on a fast cycle instead of rebuilding per visit, and several of the heaviest database lookups got proper indexes. Same cards, same numbers, same honesty rules — just noticeably quicker.
Take a lookA clearer homepage — and a new “How it works”
The homepage is reorganised to get you to the transfer feed faster, and to feel more like an app than one endless scroll. A slim club-jump bar and a standout “New here?” card sit above the feed, and a new sticky section bar lets you jump straight to Feed, Trending, Managers, or — during the tournament — the World Cup strip, so those sections are one tap away instead of buried below hundreds of cards. On wide screens the page uses a two-column layout, with the feed as the main column and the discovery sections gathered into a sidebar. Same cards, same data, just easier to navigate. “How it works” is now a permanent link in the menu, and its page is written in plain English — what Transferithm is, and how to read a card, shown with a real, tappable sample card. We track transfer rumours and weigh them by how credible their sources are, and we’re clear about what we don’t do (no predictions, no betting). And a loaned player linked back to their parent club shows a calm “Loan return” tag instead of being hidden.
Take a lookThe manager who’ll actually pick the team
Club pages now lead with the manager a player would really join under. When a top-tier source reports a near-official new appointment — say Xabi Alonso to Chelsea — that incoming manager is shown first, with the outgoing one moved to a smaller “departing” entry, mirroring how we show players moving in and out. It stays honest: a news appointment reads “near-official,” never “official” unless our own data confirms it, and a weaker single report stays a soft note rather than overriding the current manager. The transfer insight blurbs (The Rithm) now reason about that forward-looking manager too, instead of the one on the way out.
Take a lookA fresher feed and clearer track record
The main feed now leads with the latest reporting: a deal sits at the top while it is genuinely fresh, then settles down the page as newer activity comes in — so a near-done deal no longer pins the top for days. Confirmed and deal-claimed moves stay in their own tabs. On club pages, a transfer link now shows on both clubs’ sides (incoming and outgoing) instead of dropping off the busier one. Manager Moves tiles open the manager’s profile directly. On the track record, an outlet’s many feeds (for example The Athletic’s) are now counted as one outlet rather than split across rows. And a player returning to his parent club from a loan (for example Marcus Rashford to Manchester United) is no longer shown as a new transfer rumour.
Take a lookSharper club names and honest photos
Two fixes you can see. Club mentions now resolve more reliably: when a source names a club by a bare nickname (a Spanish report’s “Atlético”), we tie it to the right top-flight side rather than an obscure lower-league namesake — so a link like Kang-in Lee to Atlético Madrid reads correctly. And where we genuinely have no photo of a player or manager, we now show a clean neutral avatar instead of a generic stock silhouette that looked like a real face.
World Cup links
A new section on the World Cup form page shows which players a source has tied to a transfer because of their World Cup form — with the actual quote and who said it. Reported, never predicted: we surface the claim and, later, whether a move followed. Specific-game links are featured; lighter mentions sit a tier below; players linked early but with limited minutes are shown separately, without a form rank. The form board itself stays untouched.
Take a lookManager moves, front and centre
Manager changes now have a proper home. A "Manager Moves" row on the homepage surfaces recent appointments and departures across clubs — your followed club pinned first — and every club page carries its current manager alongside any reported incoming name. A new club bar lets you jump straight to any featured club. Statuses stay honest: reported or near-official, never "official" unless our own data confirms it. The old pop-up alert is gone.
Take a lookA clearer look at our track record
The track record page now breaks down how each news source and journalist has actually performed, with the confirmed transfers behind every number. Bylines are captured where reporters are named, and detections that turned out wrong are kept visible instead of quietly deleted — so the hit-rate can’t flatter us.
Take a lookThe Rithm is clearer about transfer signal
Player sheets now describe The Rithm as transfer signal, not a verdict, with wording focused on reporting, source quality, and football context.
World Cup form now opens in place
Player sheets on the World Cup form page now open directly over the dashboard, so you can inspect a player’s tournament stats and transfer signals without losing your place.
Take a lookWorld Cup 2026 mode
The app now has its World Cup look, with a live "Hot at the World Cup" strip surfacing standout performers from each matchday and linking them back to active transfer signals.
Take a lookWorld Cup form, position by position
A new World Cup dashboard scores every player against others in their position - so defenders and keepers finally get a fair shout, not just the goalscorers. Find it from the World Cup strip, with a plain-English guide to reading the numbers.
Take a lookTransferithm has a face
A proper logo landed: the TR mark now lives in the header, your browser tab, your home screen, and link previews when you share the site.
Cards now lead with evidence, not a score
The RITHM number and radar have moved behind the scenes — they still rank the feed internally, but cards now lead with status, sources, and evidence, plus a direct link to our public track record.
More accurate transfer cards
Confirmed deals now show their real completion date, contract-extension chatter no longer appears as a transfer move, and a stack of under-the-hood correctness fixes landed across the feed and scoring pipeline.
Track record — see how our signal has performed
A new Track record page shows which sources have actually panned out, how our confidence bands map to real outcomes, and how far ahead of the official record we flag deals. Every figure carries its sample size — nothing rounded to flatter.
Take a lookWorld Cup squad badges
Players named in a confirmed World Cup 2026 squad now carry a badge on their transfer card.
Clearer RITHM scores
RITHM scores now display with improved accuracy and contextual explanations for confirmed transfers.
