TRENDING RUMORS

– Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in reaching a pre-contract agreement with Crystal Palace center back Marc Guéhi after his deadline day move to Liverpool collapsed, according to The Sun. The Reds had agreed a £35m deal with the Eagles but manager Oliver Glasner insisted that his captain shouldn’t leave, and Palace were eventually unable to find a replacement. With Guéhi’s contract ending in the summer, the 25-year-old will be able to reach a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from Jan. 1.

– Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez doesn’t want to go to Turkey, after failing to get a move in the summer window, says The Daily Mail. Villa didn’t receive a bid from Manchester United, despite the 32-year-old agitating for a move to Old Trafford, and the Turkish window remains open until Sept. 12. Another option could be to head to Saudi Arabia before its window closes on Sept. 23, but the Argentina international is reportedly keen to continue competing at the highest level.

– Manchester City have authorized midfielder Ilkay Gündogan to fly to Istanbul on Tuesday to sign with Galatasaray, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. If everything goes to plan, the 34-year-old will sign a contract until June 2027. Gundogan hasn’t played a single minute in the Premier League this season, making the bench in two of City’s three games.

– While referencing that Galatasaray’s priority was signing a goalkeeper, which they have now done by bringing in Ugurcan Çakir, Rudy Galetti reports that the Turkish Super Lig side are tracking Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman. The 27-year-old had been strongly linked with a move away, with Internazionale and Bayern Munich among his potential clubs, but Gala are now ready to use Turkey’s later deadline to try to bring him in as they did with striker Victor Osimhen last year.

– Saudi Arabian club Neom and an unnamed Turkish side have asked for information on Al Hilal striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, as has been reported by Nicolo Schira. The 30-year-old isn’t in Simone Inzaghi’s plans and is ready to leave, with both the club and player now working to find a solution. This comes despite Mitrovic returning 68 goals and 15 assists in 79 matches for Al Hilal since signing for them in August 2023.

COMPLETED DEALS

– Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has completed a £12.1m move to Fenerbahce, making way for the Premier League club to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain. Read
