The meaningless summer transfer window has reached its final hours.
Here are ten players who, with more or less probability, could change clubs on deadline day.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Club: Manchester United
Will the Manchester United star stay at Old Trafford after all? Although the club’s management have made it clear that they are counting on their striker this season as well, it is possible that he has not escaped anyone who Ronaldo himself wanted to leave to play Champions League football. Star agent Jorge Mendes called and traveled to all kinds of clubs in search of a solution. The question is, will he eventually get a pacifier?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Club: FC Barcelona
While most of the headlines around the Barcelona striker lately have been about the violent robbery he and his family have been subjected to, meanwhile, the future of his club is highly uncertain ahead of the final race in this transfer window. Chelsea’s interest is well documented. The same goes for Barcelona’s need for transfer revenue. However, the two parties do not appear to agree on the transition. ‘Auba’ could become a focal point during the evening – just as it was during the last race of the January window.
Yuri Tillmans
Club: Leicester
many of Premier LeagueThe Dragons may be on the lookout for midfield reinforcements in the final stretch of the transfer window. Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle, to name a few examples. Yuri Tillmans’ contract with Leicester still expires in less than a year. In theory, the Belgian midfielder would fit like a glove with nearly all midfield chase teams (with Arsenal being the club most associated with him). It’s inconceivable that something could finally happen so late.
Frenkie de Jong
Club: FC Barcelona
Summer’s biggest transfer series, and in many ways, weirdest. It has been reported that both Manchester United and Chelsea have agreed a transfer with Barcelona. Barcelona had (and probably wanted, even if they ostensibly claimed otherwise) to sell the player, on the condition that he did not agree to a drastic reduction in his salary. Frenkie de Jong, who did not want to leave the club and was not forced to cut his salary, is sitting in the middle of this mess. The latest reports indicate that it will remain in place. But who knows what could happen when it begins to burn in the last hours of the window.
Antoine Griezmann
Club: Atletico Madrid
The green-haired French striker has now come in between the 60th and 65th minutes in all three of Atlético Madrid’s league matches so far this season. the reason? The bond to buy Atleti in the loan from Barcelona is only activated if he has played more than 30 minutes in a certain number of matches. If anything indicates that Atlético de Madrid will not necessarily be reluctant to successfully get rid of the attacker before closing the window – if the right situation arises. He has been associated, after all, with the Premier League giants, so be it.
Milan Skriniar
Club: Inter
Talking about players who, according to the club’s management, should not move. Milan Skriniar has been lured by Paris Saint-Germain all summer, but recent reports from Inter have suggested a contract extension is much closer to being sold. At the same time, PSG does not appear to have given up hope of successfully easing the locked situation and achieving a late transfer with an offer that Interownership will find difficult to reject.
Wilfried Zaha
Club: Crystal Palace
The status of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains uncertain. The thing that made Chelsea also consider other options. One of them has been reported to be Wilfried Zaha. Just like many other names that have been reported to be related to a transfer, the Ivorian is bound by a contract that expires in less than a year. Assuming Oppa ends up at Chelsea, nothing will happen with Zaha. But if not…
Douglas Louise
Club: Aston Villa
The Brazilian midfielder at Aston Villa is likely to be on his way away from the club on deadline day, with reports from the likes of Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Arsenal intriguing. And coach Steven Gerrard’s statement after the 1-2 loss to Arsenal did not help dispel the rumours.
– I have no control over Douglas Louise’s condition. We are not in a situation where we need to get rid of our best players, but at the same time he only has one year left on his contract.
Marco Asensio
Club: Real Madrid
Next summer, Marco Asensio could leave Real Madrid on a free transfer, provided they do not agree to a contract extension. This means that there were plenty of rumors over the summer that Real Madrid could cash in on the 26-year-old before the transfer window closed, especially as there was still some interest from many of the Premier League giants. The latest indications are that he will, after all. But she also wouldn’t be surprised if a late show arrived.
All backs are linked from/to Barcelona
Sergino Dest is said to be almost ready to loan (with an option to buy) to AC Milan. And the strong player Jordi Alba is said to be able to reach Inter, as Barcelona is said to have agreed with the “Nerazuri” on loan. So, Aysar Zaheer and Ayman Zaheer. Expect alternatives to emerge during the closing stages of the window. Players like Thomas Meunier and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have been linked to the club at right-back. It was reported that Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso was on the radar at left-back. Rocks can occur here. And here unexpected names can also appear.
