Transfer Deadline Day Transfers:
Barcelona has signed Joao Felix of Atletico Madrid and Joao Cancelo of Manchester City on loan until the end of the season. Both players have been linked to La Blaugrana during the summer transfer season, with the Portuguese duo expected to join the club. Felix has openly announced his desire to join Barcelona from rivals Atletico Madrid, while Cancelo is adamant about leaving Manchester City after falling out of favour with the Premier League champions.
On the deadline day, Manchester United achieved their goal of obtaining Sofyan Amrabat. The midfielder is expected to join the Red Devils on an initial loan with a potential option to purchase him permanently for about £22 million next summer.Despite being frozen out at Fiorentina, Amrabat has been patiently waiting for the opportunity to transfer to Old Trafford. United will pay an initial loan price of about £8.5 million, plus an option to purchase the player for £17 million plus £4 million in add-ons.
Liverpool have negotiated a deal of around €40 million for Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. The midfielder is expected to join Jurgen Klopp’s side on a five-year agreement. He will fly to Liverpool on Thursday evening to finalise the deal.
Gravenberch joins Alexis MacAllister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo as Jurgen Klopp’s fourth midfield signing of the summer. The 21-year-old has long been a goal for Liverpool, who passed him up when he came to Bavaria from Ajax last year.
Ansu Fati is on his way to Brighton to finalise his loan move after the club agreed with Barcelona on Wednesday. Brighton will pay 80% of Fati’s wages until June 2024. However, no purchase option was agreed upon between the parties.
