The Spotlight on Euro 2025's Rising Stars

International tournaments like Euro 2025 often serve as a launchpad for players to showcase their talents on a global stage. This summer, several under-the-radar stars have emerged, catching the eyes of top clubs across Europe. Here’s a detailed look at some of these players who could be making significant moves in the upcoming transfer window.

Géraldine Reuteler, CM/FW, 26 (Switzerland/Eintracht Frankfurt)

Reuteler was instrumental in Switzerland's historic run to the knockout stages, earning Player of the Match in all three group-stage games. Her versatility, dynamism, and understanding of spaces make her a valuable asset in both midfield and forward positions. Despite her impressive season with Frankfurt, her finishing could use some refinement. Potential destinations include VfL Wolfsburg, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona.

Signe Gaupset, FW/ST, 20 (Norway/SK Brann)

Gaupset was a standout performer for Norway, creating chances and scoring crucial goals. Her ball-carrying skills, acceleration, and strength make her a formidable forward. With Paris Saint-Germain looking to bolster their attack, Gaupset could be an excellent addition to their squad.

Natalia Padilla-Bidas, FW, 22 (Poland/Bayern Munich)

Padilla-Bidas was the face of Poland's first major international tournament, contributing to all three of her team's goals. Her ability to stretch defenses and deliver precise crosses makes her a threat from the wings. After a successful loan spell at Sevilla, she could provide depth for Bayern Munich or secure a permanent move to Sevilla.

Julia Zigiotti Olme, 27, CM (Sweden/Bayern Munich)

Zigiotti Olme was a defensive stalwart for Sweden, excelling in ball-winning and disrupting opposition play. Her tenacity and intensity in midfield make her a prime candidate for clubs like Manchester United, who are in need of a robust ball-winner.

Smilla Holmberg, 18, RB (Sweden/Hammarby)

Holmberg, the youngest player in the Swedish squad, showed promise with her attacking runs and defensive work rate. Despite missing a crucial penalty, her potential is evident. She could continue her development at Hammarby or attract interest from top clubs seeking an attacking right-back.

Elisa Senß, 27, CM (Germany/Eintracht Frankfurt)

Senß played a pivotal role in Germany's semifinal run, covering ground, linking play, and winning back possession. Her ability to balance defensive duties with chance creation makes her a valuable addition to elite clubs like Bayern Munich.

Oona Siren, 24, CM (Finland/West Ham United)

Siren was the backbone of Finland's midfield, orchestrating play and maintaining possession with remarkable accuracy. Her composure and defensive positioning make her an ideal fit for possession-based clubs like Paris FC.

Elisabetta Oliviero, 28, RWB (Italy/Lazio)

Oliviero was a tireless runner for Italy, contributing both defensively and offensively. Her versatility and ability to play on either flank make her a suitable candidate for Inter Milan, especially with Champions League football on the horizon.

Katariina Kosola, 24, FW (Finland/Malmö FF)

Kosola's dribbling skills and ability to score from various positions make her a threat in the attacking third. A move to Paris FC could provide her with the platform to elevate her career.

Carlotta Wamser, 21, RB/FW (Germany/Eintracht Frankfurt)

Wamser's attacking prowess and defensive recovery make her a dynamic presence on the right flank. While staying at Frankfurt seems beneficial, her skills could also thrive in a possession-based side with attacking freedom.

These players have not only made their mark at Euro 2025 but also positioned themselves as valuable assets for top clubs looking to strengthen their squads this summer.
