Paris Saint-Germain, Parma and Zion Suzuki
Saturday

Paris Saint-Germain’s proposed €35m move for Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki has collapsed despite the clubs and player previously reaching agreements. PSG reportedly ended negotiations after Suzuki’s representatives introduced additional financial demands concerning commissions during the final stages of the deal.

Suzuki had already been booked to travel to Paris for a medical before negotiations broke down. PSG considered the new demands excessive and abandoned the transfer, leaving Matvey Safonov and Lucas Chevalier as their existing senior goalkeeping options.

Franck Kessie, Juventus and Al-Ahli
Saturday

Franck Kessie is closing in on an agreement to join Juventus after rejecting attempts from Al-Ahli to bring him back to Saudi Arabia. The free-agent midfielder is reportedly waiting on a three-year contract worth about €4.5m annually plus a signing bonus.

Juventus first need to create midfield space before registering the Ivory Coast international, with several existing players available to leave. Kessie can sign after the transfer deadline because he is unattached, reducing time pressure while Juventus restructure their squad.

Atletico Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur and Cristian Romero
Saturday

Cristian Romero has officially completed his transfer from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid after the clubs confirmed the move. Atletico will reportedly pay €35m plus another €5m in variables, and the Argentina centre-back has signed a five-year contract.

The completion ends Romero’s five-year Tottenham spell after 156 appearances and converts the previously agreed transfer into a permanent move. He joins Diego Simeone after Tottenham authorised his departure and had already strengthened central defence with two summer additions.

Middlesbrough, Tottenham Hotspur and Ashley Phillips
Saturday

Middlesbrough have officially signed Tottenham defender Ashley Phillips on a five-year contract. The England Under-21 international arrives for an initial reported fee of £7m, with performance-related additions potentially increasing the total package to around £20m.

Phillips leaves Tottenham without making a competitive senior appearance but brings extensive Championship experience from loan spells. Middlesbrough make him their eighth summer signing as Kim Hellberg strengthens a squad aiming to challenge again after losing last season’s play-off final.

Crystal Palace, Union Saint-Gilloise and Anan Khalaili
Saturday

Crystal Palace have officially signed Israel international Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise on a contract running through 2031. The Eagles reportedly paid £21m for the versatile 21-year-old, who can operate as either a winger or full-back.

Khalaili arrives after helping Union win their first Belgian league title in 90 years and brings Champions League experience into Palace’s Europa League campaign. He becomes Pierre Sage’s fifth addition during an active summer rebuild at Selhurst Park.

Newcastle United, Benfica and Amar Dedic
Saturday

Newcastle are in advanced talks with Benfica over a move for Bosnia-Herzegovina right-back Amar Dedic, who is valued at around £30m. The 23-year-old previously worked under Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle during their time together at Red Bull Salzburg.

Newcastle need another right-back after Kieran Trippier’s departure and with Tino Livramento still recovering from injury. Negotiations are progressing sufficiently for Dedic to potentially be available for the Premier League opener against Liverpool if the clubs complete an agreement.
