The Transfer DealSheet: Latest on Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid and more
Key Points:
- Arsenal is unlikely to make further signings before the transfer deadline, having already recruited several players; key departures include Gabriel Martinelli to Al Hilal and Gabriel Jesus to Barcelona. The club is still exploring options to strengthen the left-wing position but faces challenges completing deals late in the window.
- Chelsea is actively managing several potential transfers, including the possible sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City and loan moves for players like Mykhailo Mudryk to Tottenham. Central midfield remains a concern due to injuries and potential departures, and the club is working to bring in replacements.
- Liverpool completed a £123 million signing of Bradley Barcola but are unlikely to add more senior attackers after Manchester City withdrew interest in Cody Gakpo. Goalkeeping changes may occur, and the club is monitoring potential loan moves for fringe players, though key first-team departures are not expected.
- Manchester City aims to finalize deals for Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea and Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, with Jack Grealish expected to leave on loan to Everton. Despite recent sales, City’s squad remains well-stocked, but concerns remain about squad depth and bench strength ahead of the new season.
- Tottenham Hotspur is focused on adding a forward before the deadline, with a loan deal for Mykhailo Mudryk in progress after failed attempts to sign Cody Gakpo and Iliman Ndiaye. The club has also signed Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo and is managing departures including Pape Matar Sarr and Richarlison, while left-wing remains a key area for improvement.
