Casadó joins Deportivo on loan as Manchester City sign Enzo Fernández in window’s priciest move | OneFootball

Barcelona ended deadline day without a final defensive addition, with Gabriel Jesús the last arrival under Hansi Flick and Marc Casadó departing on loan to Deportivo.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, Deco prioritised exits, sending Guille to Venezia, Toni Fernández to Mallorca and Álvaro Cortés to Antwerp, each with buy-back clauses. Deportivo, back in the top flight, also took centre-back José María Giménez on loan from Atlético Madrid.

It was a busy day at Atlético, who let Thomas Lemar join Elche and Carlos Martín move to Almería. Mateu Alemany secured Jonathan David on loan from Juventus, though not Nicolás Tagliafico from Lyon, and Diego Simeone keeps Julián Álvarez, who continued to rebuff Arsenal’s interest with Barça not forgetting him for future windows.

Real Madrid’s senior squad saw no changes, though about 11.5 million euros arrived via a sell-on from Chema Andrés’s move from Stuttgart to Brighton and four million from Manuel Ángel’s switch to Fulham. Dani Ceballos returned to Betis nine years after leaving.

Espanyol sold Rubén Sánchez to Elche for half a million euros and brought in Andoni Gorosabel on loan from Athletic. Elsewhere in Spain, Harvey Elliott joined Valencia, Iván Azón signed for Getafe and Pablo García, Aarón Martín and André Almeida arrived at Racing, who lost Gustavo Puerta.

Internationally, Manchester City completed the window’s costliest deal, signing Enzo Fernández for 145 million euros, a player Enzo Maresca coached at Chelsea last season. City also added Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi in midfield, and announced winger Iliman Ndiaye for 75 million.

Other notable moves saw Matías Fernández-Pardo join Newcastle for 60 million, Lamine Camara head to Chelsea for 55 and Ibrahim Mbaye sign for Aston Villa for 55. Robert Sánchez and Moise Kean arrived at Cesc’s Como.
