The transfer deadline deals that could still get done: Fernandez, Balogun, Mudryk and more | OneFootball

Deadline day has arrived, with clubs working against an 11pm BST cut-off and several major moves still in play.

As reported by The Athletic, Arsenal are close to selling Gabriel Martinelli to Al Hilal for €70m, with a four-year deal on the table and personal terms not expected to be an issue.

The fee would be Arsenal’s record sale, fully guaranteed, surpassing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s £35m move in 2017.

Barcelona are closing in on Gabriel Jesus, so Arsenal are weighing up Lyon’s Malick Fofana as a market opportunity after Lyon missed the Champions League league phase.

Arsenal also like Julian Alvarez, who wants to leave Atletico Madrid but prefers Barcelona, a move Atletico will not sanction. Borussia Dortmund have asked to take Ethan Nwaneri, 19, on loan.

A United States striker could return to the Premier League, with Monaco agreeing a deal of about £40m with Everton and personal terms being finalised.

After Chelsea’s 4-3 win over Brighton, Xabi Alonso said they were preparing for all scenarios on Enzo Fernandez’s future. Manchester City are the suitors, and although Chelsea’s £120m deadline passed without a bid, a late move remains possible.

City are now in pole for Ndiaye. Tottenham had an agreement in principle with Everton, and Everton had one for Richarlison, but City have agreed a £65m package and a Tuesday medical is expected. Richarlison’s return to Everton has stalled.

Everton have a season-long loan lined up for Jack Grealish and are on track to sign Kenny Tete from Fulham for £9m.

Aston Villa have a €55m deal ready for 18-year-old Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain, helped by cordial relations between the clubs’ hierarchies.

Cody Gakpo looks set to stay at Liverpool after City’s £80m offer was rejected, with all parties confirming the deal is off. Liverpool are also close to signing Genk goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans for about £28m plus £2m in add-ons.

Mykhailo Mudryk, available after 18 months out following a positive doping test, has loan interest. Tottenham have an agreement subject to player terms, and Leeds remain keen. Roberto De Zerbi previously worked with him at Shakhtar Donetsk.

Newcastle United are finalising Matias Fernandez-Pardo’s arrival from Lille. That could trigger a loan for Nick Woltemade, with Juventus in talks.
