Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea)
August 2025
Alejandro Garnacho gave his first interview as a Chelsea player, calling the club “the best in the world” after sealing a £40m transfer from Manchester United. The 21-year-old winger credited compatriot Enzo Fernandez’s influence on his move and said Chelsea’s sporting project convinced him. Garnacho made 144 appearances for United but was told he was not part of Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Marc Guiu (Chelsea)
August 2025
Chelsea have recalled teenager Marc Guiu from his Sunderland loan after Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury. Guiu scored once in three appearances for Sunderland and will return to Stamford Bridge as cover. Delap’s injury, initially assessed as a six-to-eight-week layoff, forced Chelsea to cancel Guiu’s loan deal. The 18-year-old, signed from Barcelona last summer, netted six goals in 16 appearances for Chelsea last season.
Ederson (Manchester City)
August 2025
Manchester City may pursue Gianluigi Donnarumma if Ederson leaves before deadline day. Ederson has attracted interest from Fenerbahce after Galatasaray failed with a €10m bid, opening the possibility of his exit after eight trophy-laden years in Manchester. With James Trafford starting this season, Ederson’s role has diminished, prompting speculation. PSG are willing to sell Donnarumma for €30m after signing Lucas Chevalier, and City would target the Italian keeper as a replacement if Ederson moves to Turkey.
Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea)
August 2025
Nicolas Jackson’s loan move to Bayern Munich fell apart at the last minute, prompting his agent Diomany Kamara to address the situation publicly. Jackson had travelled to Germany for a medical before Chelsea unexpectedly pulled him back from completing the deal. With Chelsea reconsidering their striker options amid injuries, Kamara suggested Jackson’s setback could be a temporary twist rather than an end. His cryptic message teased that a “sweeter resolution” lies ahead, leaving uncertainty around Jackson’s immediate future at Stamford Bridge.
Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)
August 2025
asmus Hojlund was greeted by jubilant Napoli fans upon landing in Italy to complete a medical before finalising his season-long loan from Manchester United. The deal includes a conditional £38m obligation to buy if Napoli qualify for the Champions League. Left out of all United’s games this season, Hojlund fell down Amorim’s pecking order after scoring just four league goals last campaign. Napoli see him as a long-term attacking solution under Antonio Conte, with fans already hailing him as their newest star.
Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea)
August 2025
Chelsea sealed the signing of Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United for £40m, with the Argentine winger committing to a seven-year deal. The move includes a 10% sell-on clause and follows his exclusion from Ruben Amorim’s plans at Old Trafford. Garnacho chose Chelsea over Bayern Munich, insisting on a Premier League stay. His arrival continues Chelsea’s heavy recruitment, joining Delap, Joao Pedro, Gittens, and Hato. For United, offloading Garnacho eases financial strain, while Chelsea gain a young winger with strong attacking potential.
Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)
August 2025
iverpool lodged a fresh £35m bid for Marc Guehi, determined to secure the England international before deadline day. Palace previously rejected two offers, but with Guehi in his final contract year, a deal could now be reached. Palace boss Oliver Glasner has insisted on keeping Guehi, but the club risks losing him free next summer. Liverpool, needing defensive reinforcement, are pushing hard with their latest offer. Guehi’s reluctance to renew his deal leaves Palace in a difficult position.
Lucas Paquetá (West Ham)
August 2025
Aston Villa are on the verge of signing Lucas Paquetá on loan with obligation to buy in a £47m package. The Brazilian midfielder has accepted the move, leaving West Ham under pressure amid their poor start to the season. Paquetá’s exit would be a major blow for Graham Potter’s struggling West Ham, who lost their opening three matches. For Villa, competing in Europe, his arrival bolsters depth and creativity under Unai Emery, though UEFA’s cost control rules have restricted earlier moves.
Christopher Nkunku (AC Milan)
August 2025
C Milan have signed Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea for €42m (£36.2m/$49m) on a five-year contract. The French forward leaves after an injury-plagued stint in London, where he never cemented himself under Enzo Maresca despite a £52m arrival from RB Leipzig. Nkunku managed just 11 Premier League appearances in his debut season after a serious knee injury and later fell out of favour. Milan now offer him a fresh start, hoping his creativity and versatility can reignite his career after a difficult spell at Stamford Bridge.
