As we head into the final day of the transfer window, the Enzo Fernández situation remains unresolved. It's only been going on for the whole summer, after all (if not longer), so there's been hardly any time to get it done, right?
Our (former?) Vice-captain has been training with the team, but he's been held out of our first three games, either at his own request or by the coach's decision or by the sporting directors', or by a combination of all. Chelsea tried to set a deadline before the start of the season for Manchester City (or any other team) to bid, but all that's done is make it even more frustrating that we're still in limbo. That deadline was then retconned to be a deadline for "bids of (at least) £120m", which just means that we now have to talk about a fee as well.
But, at long last, we are actually talking, club-to-club through official channels, as per all the usual talking heads at the transfer rumor mill content farm, like Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein, and all the rest.
Whether these talks will lead to anything here on the final day is anyone's guess. Romano is just playing up the drama as usual, but Ornstein, speaking on BBC Sport, claims that Chelsea would only really consider doing business if we could somehow come out ahead not just in the books but on the pitch as well. And that would mean getting someone in to replace Enzo in some way, shape, or form. But links with Lamine Camara of AS Monaco, Manu Koné of AS Roma, and Alex Scott of AFC Bournemouth have all led to the same narrative dead end, and now there's hardly any time left.
Forcing players to stay is never a good idea, but sometimes it's not the worst thing.

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo on a permanent transfer, according to David Ornstein.
He is now set to undergo a medical with Spurs, and personal terms have already been agreed.
The 28-year-old is set to become their ninth signing of the summer as Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi continues to reshape his squad.
Adarabioyo gives Spurs another experienced option at centre-back, after Kevin Danso indicated that he wants to leave the club.
Adarabioyo has now made 116 Premier League appearances across Manchester City, Fulham and Chelsea.

It has been a busy day in terms of transfer talk surrounding Manchester City. At the beginning of today, it seemed that City would pursue a move to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool. However, that move has fallen through, which has seen City shift their focus onto other targets. Everton's versatile winger Iliman Ndiaye is now the player that Manchester City want to add more quality and depth to their attack. It is now reported that City have landed the Senegalese international.
David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that Manchester City and Everton are close to reaching an agreement that will see Iliman Ndiaye become a City player. Ornstein reports that City and Everton are in the process of finalising a total package worth £65 million for the Senegalese winger.
Manchester City look to have found the attacker they needed to cover the loss of Omar Marmoush. Iliman Ndiaye will be the player tasked with adding a different dimension to Manchester City's attack. As a player, Ndiaye will add tremendous ability in one-on-one situations to the City attack. Ndiaye excels at taking on defenders and his strong dribbling ability is a key ***** et to his play. That is a quality that Enzo Maresca wants in his wingers. Ndiaye will bring that in spades as the statistics below illustrate.
On top of his ability to beat a man with his dribbling, Iliman Ndiaye can play on either wing or through the middle. That versatility will be a weapon that Maresca will tap into. Also, Iliman Ndiaye looks to be a player who is ready to make the jump up to a club like City. He has thrived and grown playing at Sheffield United and Everton in England. Now his big move has come and it will be fascinating to see how Ndiaye fares as a City player.
Manchester City have seemingly got the attacking player they desperately needed in Iliman Ndiaye. Everton's Senegalese international will add a different element and dimension to Manchester City's attacking play. Also, City's pivot from seemingly moving to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool to Iliman Ndiaye has come off. A busy day has finally reached a conclusion and the City squad will be stronger with the addition of Iliman Ndiaye.

Well, this is something to wake up to. According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, overnight Tottenham Hotspur and Everton reached an agreement to essentially swap attackers — bringing Ilman Ndiaye to Spurs, with Richarlison returning to Everton heading the other direction. This is NOT a true swap deal; these will be treated as separate transfers.
In yesterday's post-match press conference, Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi essentially told us that Richarlison asked to leave Spurs for a new challenge. I just didn't realize it would all go down so quickly. According to Paul Joyce of The Times, Ndiaye will cost Spurs about £60m, with Richarlison heading the other direction for a fee of £35m, making the outlay a lot lower than most transfers that Spurs have brought in this summer.
Ndiaye, 26, is a French fooballer who has declared for and plays international football for Senegal. He's been used primarily on the left wing for Everton, but can also play centrally or on the right. He's NOT a striker but could be implemented as a #10 if needed. Ndiaye likes to be on the ball and frequently prefers to take on and dribble past his defenders, which frequently turns into touches in the penalty area and shots. He likes to cut inside from the flank and is also comfortable receiving the ball deeper as a ball progression outlet. His acquisition means that Spurs will essentially only have three first team strikers on the books — Omar Marmoush, Dominic Solanke, and Dane Scarlett — but Ndiaye will fortify Spurs' attacking midfield options. His preferred position at Everton will put him in competition with Mathys Tel and Savinho, but his positional flexibility means he could be an ***** et elsewhere as well. He's also a willing presser and capable of putting in defensive work to make tackles. Despite maybe hinting otherwise yesterday, I'm kind of a fan of this deal.
As for Richarlison… well, I'm sad. He's probably my favorite Spurs player (non-Sonny edition) of this era. He's a vibes guy who always seemed to lift the mood, and it's clear he loved Spurs. But it's just as clear that he's not happy here anymore, and as his career starts to wind down a return to the club that lifted him to stardom feels like the closing of the circle. Everton fans love him as much as we do, and I can't begrudge them, or him, this move. It feels like the right choice.
What do you think of this deal? Can Spurs get it across the line before the window closes on September 2?

One journalist has revealed the structure of a package which has been agreed between Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain for Bradley Barcola.
Once David Ornstein reported earlier this week that the two clubs have an 'agreement in principle' over the 23-year-old, it's felt like simply a matter of when and not if the transfer would go through, and it now looks set to be finalised before the Tuesday night deadline.
There has also been much speculation in recent weeks over the future of Cody Gakpo, with Andoni Iraola reluctant to guarantee that the Netherlands forward will remain at Anfield when he spoke to the media on Thursday.
On Saturday morning, transfer reporter Alex Crook took to X to confirm the financial details of Barcola's imminent move to Liverpool and outline the Merseyside club's stance on their Dutch winger.
He posted: 'The fee agreed between LFC and PSG re Barcola is £106m plus £17m add-ons. Cody Gakpo unlikely to be sold unless the Reds sign a second forward in addition to Barcola.'

David Ornstein and Simon Johnson report for The Athletic that Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Emi Martinez from Aston Villa, with the Blues to pay £7.5m for the goalkeeper.
Martinez will sign a two-year deal with Chelsea, with the option to extend by an additional 12 months.
Villa had opted to replace Martinez with Zion Suzuki this summer, and the goalkeeper has reportedly been training alone ever since. A transfer was clearly the preferred option for all parties.

Just one year after his move to Manchester City, Omar Marmoush already appears to be on the move again. The Egyptian is set to join Tottenham in London from the Citizens on loan. That is being reported by The Athletic and Florian Plettenberg.
According to Plettenberg, the loan could also become an obligation to buy in certain cases. If that clause is triggered, Spurs would reportedly have to pay £50 million to Manchester, which is roughly equivalent to €58 million.
Incidentally, Eintracht will not receive any share of the deal, according to matching reports from Plettenberg and Sven Michel.
Reports claiming that Man City wanted to structure Marmoush's price in a certain way to avoid a sell-on payment to Frankfurt are "nonsense," Plettenberg's side says.
Marmoush is expected to undergo his medical later today before being officially unveiled. As David Ornstein reports, he has already said goodbye to his City teammates.

Ezri Konsa has completed his move to ******* nal from Aston Villa in a deal worth £51m, plus a further £4m in potential add-ons.
That's according to David Ornstein of the Athletic who says that the England international has signed a four-year contract with the option of a further year after completing his medical with the Premier League champions.
Konsa made 286 appearances for Villa after joining the club from Brentford in 2019. He has also won 28 England caps and was part of the squad that reached the semi-finals of this summer's World Cup.
The defender started every match for England before their 2-1 semi-final defeat by Argentina, when he came on as a 72nd-minute substitute.
Konsa becomes ******* nal's fourth major signing of the summer. The club have already brought in Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge, Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United and former Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

Manchester City continues to search for midfielders that they can sign to bolster Enzo Maresca's squad. Crystal Palace's England international Adam Wharton was named as a potential target for the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders. Wharton's passing game and quality in possession seem suited to life in a City side. It has now been reported that Manchester City have enquired about the possibility of signing Adam Wharton. However, Crystal Palace appear to have quickly squashed City's hopes of signing Wharton.
David Ornstein and Sam Lee have reported for The Athletic that Manchester City have enquired with Crystal Palace about the potential of signing Adam Wharton this summer. However, Crystal Palace have informed City that they have no intention of selling Wharton this summer. It is also reported that Wharton is one of many candidates City have on their recruitment list. However, the name of those players isn't revealed.
Manchester City are now in a race against time to bolster their squad ahead of the transfer window closing. My personal belief is that City wouldn't be willing to let so many players depart without having a plan in place. That plan is yet to properly reveal itself. However, due to the stage of the transfer window where City are trying to do major work, they may face frustration or be forced to pay a premium.
Crystal Palace's stance on not wanting to sell Adam Wharton is understandable. They will not want to lose such an important player so late in the transfer window. Unless Wharton attempts to engineer an exit from Crystal Palace late in the window, which looks unlikely, City will have to look elsewhere to bolster their midfield. This is a scenario that could be in play for a host of clubs who will not want to lose key players without having the time to sign a replacement. The other possibility is that Manchester City will have to pay a premium to sign players so late in the window which is now a likely scenario which will take place.
Adam Wharton looks set to stay at Crystal Palace. Manchester City's enquiry about signing the England international has been dismissed. City's hunt for quality midfielders continues and it will be a process that will likely drag on until the final day of the transfer window.

Crystal Palace have reportedly set Adam Wharton's price tag at £78m.
However, the Mirror reports that the Eagles are "desperate" to hold on to the Englishman this summer.
A point David Ornstein and Sam Lee have concurred on in a separate report with The Athletic, with Palace firm on their intention not to sell the midfielder despite fresh enquiries from Manchester City.
It's rather telling that there's no mention of Liverpool interest in Wharton in The Athletic's latest update on the situation.
Surprising, even, given that Curtis Jones is now looking set to join Inter Milan this summer, further depleting Andoni Iraola's already skinny squad.

A fresh report from a top-tier source has subtly indicated that Tottenham Hotspur might have moved on from their rumoured interest in Cody Gakpo.
The Liverpool winger has reportedly been a primary target for Spurs throughout the summer, with some sources claiming that the Dutchman would be open to joining Roberto De Zerbi's side and swiftly reuniting with Andy Robertson.
There have been conflicting reports in recent days as to whether or not the north London club have abandoned their pursuit of the 27-year-old, but it now seems as though they might have switched their attention to two other attacking targets.
The widely respected David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that Spurs are now working on a potential double raid on Manchester City to sign Savinho and Omar Marmoush.
Nothing has yet been finalised regarding the two players, but the Londoners' talks with Enzo Maresca's side are 'advancing', and a deal for the Brazilian winger – who was omitted from his club's Community Shield squad last weekend – is said to be 'progressing'.

Barcelona have agreed a deal with Manchester City for midfielder Rodri and are now set to welcome the World Cup winner to Camp Nou.
The midfielder was into the final year of his contract at City but has chosen to head back to Spain. Real Madrid were keen on Rodri but he's decided to head to Barcelona instead.
The Catalans have agreed to pay €76.5million (£65.3m; $87.8m) for Rodri, according to David Ornstein at The Athletic. The fee breaks down into an upfront fee of €60m (£51.2m; $68.8m) plus add-ons.
Ornstein says that €11m of the bonuses are "highly achievable" so Barcelona are set to pay at least €71.5m for Rodri.
Rodri is now set to sign a four-year contract with Barcelona and will hope to add more ***** les to his already impressive collection during his time in Catalunya.

Rodri returned to Manchester City on Friday. However, it always seemed that Rodri's return to City was going to be fleeting. That is exactly how it has transpired. It has now been reported that Barcelona have agreed a deal with City to sign Spain's World Cup-winning captain. Manchester City will now have to get to work to find a way to fill the void left by Rodri's imminent departure and after watching City's 3-0 defeat to **** nal in the FA Community Shield today, it is crucial that the City hierarchy get to work to massively bolster their midfield.
David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle to sign Rodri from Manchester City. Ornstein reports that Barcelona will pay City £65.3 million (€76.5 million) to sign City's most important player. It is also reported that the deal also includes £9.83 million in add-ons bringing the total package up to Manchester City's asking price for Rodri. After having two bids rejected for Rodri, Barcelona have now come to the party to sign the Ballon d'Or-winning midfielder.
It is a huge blow for Manchester City to be losing Rodri. The Spanish international has risen to become one of Manchester City's greatest ever players during his time at the club. He also remains one of City's most important players. However, this moment has been coming all summer, and now it is up to City to bolster their midfield ahead of the Premier League kicking off next weekend.
Manchester City must nail their midfield signings from this point onwards. They have already begun that process by signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest earlier this summer. City have been heavily linked with moves for Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi and Chelsea's battle-hardened midfielder Enzo Fernandez. If they could complete moves for both players, that would go a long way in reshaping Manchester City's midfield without Rodri. The final two weeks of the transfer window are critical for the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders as they now know the size of the hole in their midfield they must fill.
Rodri is set to move to Barcelona. That news in itself isn't a major surprise. It has been coming all summer. Now Manchester City must get to work to rebuild their midfield. It is imperative that they bring quality into their midfield. They simply have no other choice in this equation and it is a scenario that City would have planned for all summer.

Real Madrid's pivotal contract meeting with Vinicius Junior on Wednesday set the two parties on the path to a renewal, with David Ornstein reporting for The Athletic that the club ultimately decided to make an improved contract offer to the winger.
There were significant financial differences between player and club going into Wednesday's meeting, and there had been repeated suggestions in the Spanish media that Real Madrid were refusing to up their offer to the player.
Yet the club have now made a last-minute u-turn, raising their offer. This has pleased the player's camp, with Rodra reporting for ESPN that they now feel optimistic about a renewal.

Ornstein reports that if the deal is formalised, Norgaard will undergo a medical next week and become Everton's fourth signing of the summer.
Norgaard joined ******* nal last July for £10m, plus £2m in add-ons, signing a two-year deal with the option of a third. So a £7m sale isn't bad business, for a player who is now a year older and technically in the final 12 months of his contract.

Everton have reached an agreement in principle to sign ***** nal midfielder Christian Norgaard for around £7 million, according to The Athletic journalist David Ornstein. Everton manager David Moyes wants a replacement for Idrissa Gueye and the Gunners star could move to the Hill ***** inson Stadium club. Norgaard would undergo a medical next week and become the Toffees' fourth summer signing should the deal be formalised.
The 32-year-old Danish midfielder joined ***** nal from Brentford last summer but struggled for regular playing opportunities.
The Everton target made 20 appearances for Mikel Arteta's side and will hope to become a regular starter for Moyes next season.
The Toffees have already signed English midfielder Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough, and adding Norgaard to their squad will be huge.

Arsenal appear to be on the lookout for a defender in the wake of William Saliba's injury setback, and one player who had been linked with a move to London was John Stones.
Stones is out of contract with Manchester City, so he's available as a free agent this summer. But rather than moving to London, it seems the centre-back is set to leave the Premier League for Italy.
James Horncastle and David Ornstein report for The Athletic that Inter Milan are in negotiations to sign Stones, with talks ongoing and hope the transfer can be completed this week.

Real Madrid have been quiet on the signing front for several weeks, but they could be about to land a major double blow. They are in talks to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, while efforts are also being made to land Manchester City and Spain superstar Rodri.
Going into the summer, Real Madrid were clear that a top-level midfielder was wanted to finally fill the voids left by Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Head coach Jose Mourinho had wanted Enzo Fernandez, but after Chelsea priced him out of a move, they have since turned their attention to Rodri.
Real Madrid have been keen on Rodri for some time, although it was expected that they would not move for him this summer. But with the Fernandez snub and his top performances for Spain at the 2026 World Cup, the decision has been made for a deal to be sought for the Man City man, as reported by The Athletic's David Ornstein.
There is every chance that Real Madrid manage to get a deal done for Rodri. Man City will be forced to accept a reduced fee if they sell, given that the 30-year-old has less than a year remaining on his contract in Manchester. Because of this, confidence is high within Los Blancos that a deal can be done for one of the world's best midfielders to join Mourinho's squad for the 2026-27 season and beyond.
Furthermore, Rodri is desperate to join Real Madrid this summer, as per Ben Jacobs. He is keen to return to the Spanish capital, where he previously played for Atletico Madrid, for both sporting and family reasons, and this had led him to make it known that he will not sign a new Man City contract – thus making it even more likely that he ends up at the Bernabeu.

The future of Rodri has been a hot topic ever since the 2026 World Cup ended. All week Rodri has been linked with a summer move to La Liga giants, while Manchester City were hoping to extend Rodri's contract. Now it has been reported that Real Madrid do indeed hope to sign Manchester City's midfield general this summer. All of a sudden, a summer defining moment has landed at Manchester City's doorstep.
David Ornstein and Mario Cortegana have reported for The Athletic that Real Madrid are aiming to sign Rodri this summer. Furthermore, it is reported that Real Madrid are confident of securing the Ballon d'Or-winning midfielder. It is also reported that as yet no direct talks have taken place between Manchester City and Real Madrid over a deal for Rodri. It is also included in The Athletic report that Manchester City are hopeful that Rodri will see out the final year of his contract. However, Rodri has previously expressed his wish to return to Spain and now Real Madrid are determined to make Rodri's wish come true this summer.
A fork in the moment has arrived for Manchester City in the summer transfer window. David Ornstein and Mario Cortegana's report illustrates that Real Madrid do indeed want to sign Rodri this summer. Rodri's wish to one day play for the La Liga giants is by now well-established. City now have a decision to make ******* uming that Real Madrid can satisfy City's asking price to sell the World Cup winner.
Does Manchester City hold Rodri to the final year of his contract? Rodri remains Manchester City's most important player. A fully fit Rodri turns City from a very good side into an elite side. Selling Rodri would create a sizable void in Manchester City's midfield and in their leadership. Is that something City are willing to allow to occur? That answer isn't immediately clear but the fact that Rodri is so important to City may provide that particular answer.
The other side to the coin is whether Manchester City keeps a player who clearly wants to leave the club. Typically, besides Bernardo Silva, City do not keep players who wish to leave. This is the situation that they find themselves in with Rodri. It is no secret that Rodri wants to a move to Real Madrid. That has been obvious since the World Cup concluded. Perhaps Rodri's time at City has naturally concluded as he has nothing left to achieve at the club. He has scaled every mountain.

Real Madrid have sent in an official offer to RB Leipzig to sign highly-rated winger, Yan Diomande, on Friday night, according to widespread reports in Europe.
A very busy Friday that saw Rodri's news break out earlier during the day, Mario Cortegana and David Ornstein of The Athletic were among the first ones to report on an offer for the winger. Soon after, Fabrizio Romano, Arancha Rodriguez and others also started reporting on the news.
According to Romano, the offer sent in by Real Madrid was of 90 million euros + 10 million euros in add-ons, which was rejected by Leipzig.
Diomande, a winger who prefers to play on the right, is a good option to provide balance to the team's left-heavy attack, but it remains to be seen whether the club is able to actually bring him in.
Paris Saint-Germain are still in the race to sign Diomande, but everything now depends on the next potential offer from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have entered the battle for Yan Diomande, and that matters. It matters for RB Leipzig, it matters for Paris Saint-Germain, and it certainly matters for Liverpool, who had already tested the water earlier in the summer over a deal worth close to €100million. Once Madrid show up, the market changes. Prices move, agents gain leverage, and clubs with genuine interest quickly discover whether they are truly prepared to go all the way.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Madrid are now in talks with Leipzig over the 19-year-old winger. PSG remain keen and, crucially, Diomande had made the European champions his preferred destination. That preference is relevant, though only up to a point. Leipzig are under no pressure to sell, the player is contracted until 2030, and no club gets a discount just because it happens to be favoured by the player.
This is where Liverpool's position starts to look awkward. They made an approach earlier in the window, with the report stating it was "approaching €100million (£86.8m; $115m) in value." Leipzig, however, were "holding out for a fee closer to €130m" while also attempting to secure Diomande on a new deal. In other words, the German club's stance has been clear from the start. If someone wants one of the most explosive young wide players in Europe, they will pay heavily for the privilege.

There is no mystery around Leipzig's public line either. "Our clear intention is that Yan Diomande will play for RB Leipzig next year," the club's managing director of sport Marcel Shafer said. Clubs say things like this all the time, and sometimes they are posturing. Sometimes they are setting up a negotiation. In this case, it looks more like a simple message, bring a huge fee or go away.
