- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Manchester City has made a bid for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández on the final day of the transfer window. Reports indicate the potential deal could be worth between 120 million and 140 million pounds, which would potentially set a new British transfer record and make Fernández the first player to be sold for over 100 million euros twice in his career. Other confirmed or near-complete moves include Newcastle signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille for 51 million pounds, Gabriel Jesus joining Barcelona from Arsenal on a three year deal, and Brighton agreeing to a 15 million pound fee with Millwall for Femi Azeez. Additional activity includes Arsenal selling Vieira to Hamburg, Guiu leaving Chelsea for RB Leipzig, and Sunderland agreeing to sign Fofana. In the Bundesliga, the transfer window remains open until 8 pm. While some reports focus on the high stakes of the English Premier League, others highlight the status of Norwegian players, noting that David Møller Wolfe is likely to join Hamburg on loan and Kristian Thorstvedt has requested to leave Sassuolo.
