With the European transfer window closing on Friday night, August 30, many clubs are racing against the clock to finalize deals. While numerous transfers have been completed, uncertainty surrounds the futures of several high-profile players. Here’s a look at some key transfer sagas to watch as the window nears its end:
Marc Guehi
The future of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi remains up in the air. Newcastle United has been actively pursuing the 24-year-old Englishman, but Crystal Palace has been reluctant to accept bids. Despite a recent £65 million offer, Crystal Palace’s stance may shift, potentially allowing Guehi to make the move. The situation is fluid, and a resolution could be imminent as the deadline approaches.
Ivan Toney
Brentford striker Ivan Toney has yet to feature for his club this season, with speculation mounting over his departure. Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli is keen on securing Toney’s services and has proposed a £35 million deal. However, Brentford is holding out for at least £45 million. Negotiations are ongoing, and a compromise may be reached before the window closes.
Jonathan Tah
Bayern Munich’s Jonathan Tah has attracted interest this summer, but the Bundesliga giants have rejected all bids for the defender. Tah’s agent, Pini Zahavi, has confirmed that Bayern Munich is eager to avoid losing the player on a free transfer next summer. Despite multiple offers, Bayern Munich and Tah’s representatives are seeking a solution that satisfies all parties involved.
As the transfer window draws to a close, clubs and players alike are working diligently to finalize moves. Keep an eye on these developments and more as the deadline approaches.
