Deadline day brings late decisions across the Premier League and La Liga before 11pm BST. According to NY Times, leading clubs are weighing final moves in and out.
Arsenal have added Christos Tzolis, Bruno Guimaraes and others, and explored an elite attacker, though a deal now looks unlikely. Gabriel Martinelli is set for a €70million sale to Al Hilal, with Gabriel Jesus close to Barcelona, while Chelsea weigh midfield targets, an Enzo Fernandez decision, and a loan for Mykhailo Mudryk to Tottenham.
Liverpool have signed Bradley Barcola for £106million and Gakpo is set to stay. A €33million agreement is close for goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, then loaned to Genk, while Djylian N’Guessan is due next summer and Harvey Elliott is heading to Valencia on loan. Manchester City are pushing for Fernandez and have Iliman Ndiaye agreed in principle, with a medical today, while Jack Grealish is discussing a loan to Everton.
Manchester United have reinforced midfield and are assessing left-back options, with a new striker only if Joshua Zirkzee departs. Talks continue over Leicester’s Louis Page, while Harry Amass and Chido Obi attract interest. Newcastle are working to sign Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille for €60million, and Nick Woltemade is likely to leave on loan.
Tottenham have turned to Mudryk on loan after missing out on Gakpo and Ndiaye. Barcelona are finalising Gabriel Jesus for about €10million on a two-year deal after failing to land Julian Alvarez. Real Madrid, having spent around €250million on six signings, are very unlikely to add more.
