Casadó joins Deportivo on loan as Manchester City sign Enzo Fernández for €145m | OneFootball

Barcelona ended deadline day without a defensive reinforcement as Marc Casadó left for Deportivo, while Manchester City made the market’s costliest move for Enzo Fernández.

According to Superdeporte, Gabriel Jesús was the final addition to Hansi Flick’s squad and Barça added no defender. Deco moved out Guille and Toni Fernández to Venezia and Mallorca and Álvaro Cortés to Amberes, all with buy-backs.

Casadó joined Deportivo on a season-long loan with a €30 million option. On their top-flight return, Deportivo also loaned centre-back José María Giménez from Atlético Madrid.

Atlético had a busy day. Thomas Lemar left for Elche and Mateu Alemany secured striker Jonathan David on loan from Juventus, but Nicolás Tagliafico from Lyon did not arrive. Diego Simeone keeps Julián Álvarez despite Arsenal interest, with Barça not forgetting him for future windows.

Real Madrid’s finale was quiet, with no first-team changes, though they banked about €11.5 million, half of Chema Andrés’ move from Stuttgart to Brighton, plus €4 million from Manuel Ángel’s switch to Fulham. Dani Ceballos’ return to Betis will be made official today, nine years after his exit.

Espanyol sold Rubén Sánchez to Elche for half a million euros and brought in Andoni Gorosabel on loan from Athletic.

Internationally, Manchester City paid €145 million for Enzo Fernández, whom Maresca coached at Chelsea last year. Including Fernández, Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi, City have spent close to €400 million on central midfielders, and they also announced Senegal winger Iliman Ndiaye for €75 million.
