The 10-day mini transfer window before the Club World Cup has come to an end, but the transfer market is still buzzing, as new rumors appear and deals get done on a daily basis.
Chelsea have announced that Jadon Sancho will go back to Manchester United after his loan period. It is understood that the Blues had a €30 million purchase option, however, the deal reportedly fell through because of different views on Sancho’s wage. Instead of this, Chelsea gave United €6 million as compensation.
On the other hand, Sporting CP president Frederico Varandas did not leave any room for assumptions that Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres would be sold for merely €60 million plus variables to anyone. He called the crowd a much higher offer if they really wanted the Swedish international.
Manchester City have officially announced the acquisition of Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for £46.3 million, thus complementing their summer rebuild. The 26-year-old is set to feature in Pep Guardiola’s team heading into the Club World Cup, becoming the fourth major signing at City in a week.
Marseille has landed Angel Gomes from Lille to beef up their midfield department.
In addition to that, Fabrizio Romano writes that Galatasaray are making every effort to clinch a shock transfer of Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané, while Napoli are about to complete a sensational deal for Kevin De Bruyne with an official statement expected shortly.
Athletic Club are on their way to taking the headlines because of their preparations to offer Nico Williams a large new contract in order to stop the interest coming from Europe’s elite such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
The transfer season has definitely not been quiet so far.
