<\/a>Barcola to Liverpool? Alvarez to Arsenal? Ten big transfers that could still happen before deadline day<\/p>\n

The summer transfer window closes on 1 September as clubs across Europe aim to wrap up their summer business ahead of the 2026\/27 season.<\/p>\n

There have been several notable moves throughout Europe over the summer, with Barcelona\u2019s capture of Rodri and the transfers of Morgan Rogers, Elliot Anderson and Bruno Guimaraes making headlines.<\/p>\n

But while some teams will feel their business is done this summer, most clubs \u2013 especially some in the Premier League \u2013 know they need more arrivals if they\u2019re to compete this season.<\/p>\n

Manchester City, Newcastle and Aston Villa will need to replace some of their outgoing stars, while Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and even champions Arsenal are all hoping to make late additions in the coming days \u2013 and big-spenders Tottenham might not be done just yet.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Liverpool could sell Cody Gakpo to rival to allow Bradley Barcola move<\/p>\n

Liverpool remain intent on Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s Bradley Barcola, despite the fact the Qatari-owned project want well in excess of \u00a3110m for the French international. It was that price which put Arsenal off.<\/p>\n

Such a deal could be offset by the sale of Cody Gakpo, in one of many situations in this market that almost resembles a housing-market chain. Manchester City remain interested, while Tottenham have also been linked.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Manchester City turn attention to Enzo Fernandez after completing Ayoubb Bouaddi move<\/p>\n

Manchester City have signed 18-year-old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi with attention now turning to Enzo Fernandez before next Tuesday\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n

The Morocco international joins City to bolster Enzo Maresca\u2019s midfield, having already signed Elliot Anderson for \u00a3116m from Nottingham Forest this summer.<\/p>\n

The Cityzens could dip back into the market to sign a third centre-midfielder, with strong ties between Maresca and Enzo Fernandez, with the Italian\u2019s former club Chelsea previously setting a deadline and holding out for upwards of \u00a3120m.<\/p>\n

Bouaddi, who City have signed in a record Premier League price for a teenager, excelled in the World Cup for Morocco and City see him as a talent with the ability to get better still.<\/p>\n

Bouaddi, who was the youngest player in Lille\u2019s history, will be charged with replacing Rodri and Bernardo Silva, who have joined Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.<\/p>\n

City will lose four midfielders this summer, with Tijjani Reijnders moving to Al Qadsiah for \u00a351m and Newcastle agreeing a \u00a352m fee for Nico Gonzalez.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Ollie Watkins heading to Saudi Arabia as Al Hilal agree fee <\/p>\n

Al Hilal have reached a \u00a350m deal with Aston Villa to sign Ollie Watkins, according to Sky Sports<\/a>. Watkins wanted to join Al Hilal, who are reportedly offering the England striker \u00a312m a year, and Villa have already lined up his replacement after agreeing to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea in a deal that could reach \u00a365m if add-ons are met. <\/p>\n

A considerable boost to his bank balance would come with a dent to his reputation, wrote Richard Jolly a few days ago. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor the nice guy, one of football\u2019s feel-good stories, it surely wasn\u2019t supposed to end like this. When Watkins was playing for Exeter at 21, the riches now offered in Saudi Arabia would have seemed unimaginable. But so, too, would have scoring the winner for England in the semi-final of a major tournament or winning a European trophy. This will be his last big contract \u2013 and presumably, much his biggest \u2013 but it again invites the question of how much money footballers need.\u201d<\/p>\n
