Enzo transfer saga: Manchester City bids over £120 million

"Regarding Enzo, a breakthrough could happen at any time. Manchester City has now submitted an official bid, and according to information I received this morning, this official bid exceeds £120 million, which is more than the figure Chelsea agreed to let Enzo go for three or four weeks ago. So the situation is very clear now: a bid has been submitted, and Manchester City is hoping to get the green light from Chelsea at any moment."

"If both clubs can reach an agreement, Enzo is ready for his medical at Manchester City. But the decision still rests with Chelsea—for Chelsea to decide whether to accept or reject the offer. It's possible that by the time you watch this video, the deal will already be done. This could happen at any moment, depending on Chelsea's decision. But I can guarantee that the player is ready, the contract is ready, and the agent is ready. Manchester City has sent an official bid, and now it's up to Chelsea to decide whether to accept it, and today is also Enzo's transfer deadline."

Chelsea's midfield alternatives: Latest on Kamara and Koné

"Let's talk about the potential chain reaction from this deal, because there have been some reports this morning about Koné from Roma and Kamara. From Chelsea's perspective, this could also change at any time. Currently, Chelsea is in talks with Lamine Kamara and has contacted Monaco. I told you in yesterday's video that there were many rumors over the weekend that the Lamine Kamara deal was done, but this deal hasn't been completed or failed—because something that hasn't even started cannot fail. Before this morning, Chelsea hadn't started any negotiations or submitted any offers. The fact is that Chelsea met with Monaco after the Champions League draw on Thursday and expressed interest in Lamine Kamara."

"Chelsea and Monaco have a very good relationship. Chelsea didn't send an official bid on Monday, so the deal couldn't have failed. And today, Chelsea submitted a bid for Lamine Kamara to Monaco. This offer has been rejected. Monaco did not accept the €45 million offer for Lamine Kamara, which is of course not enough. Now, if Chelsea decides to buy Lamine, they know the price, so they could get the player. The player is on the transfer market, but it won't drag on to the final minutes, because Monaco needs a replacement."

"As for Koné, as far as I know, Chelsea hasn't sent any official bid for Manu Koné yet. If they send one later, we'll let you know, but so far there's no official offer at all. It should also be noted that Chelsea knows Roma wants to keep this player, and Chelsea knows Roma considers this player a key player in Gasperini's team, so there's been no progress on that front."

Malik Fofana deal falls through with Arsenal, to join Sunderland

"Malik Fofana is undergoing his medical at Sunderland today. This is clearly one of the big stories today, as the deal has been agreed. The deal is €30 million plus a €5 million floating clause, for a total offer of €35 million. As I said yesterday, Arsenal did consider the possibility of signing Fofana, and he was recommended to Arsenal by his agent. But it's understood that Arsenal would never pay €35 million or €40 million for this player. Therefore, for Arsenal, this would at most be a loan opportunity, possibly with an option to buy, or it could be an obligation to buy at different terms (for example, €20–€25 million), rather than paying €40 million or €35 million outright. So Arsenal withdrew from negotiations this morning. Sunderland got the green light for the player, he's had his medical, and Sunderland has a new winger, which is very, very important news."

[About half an hour ago, Romano and David Ornstein reported that Crystal Palace made a strong intervention and are preparing to hijack this deal.]

Alvarez's future is clear: staying at Atlético Madrid

"This morning, Alvarez trained with Atlético Madrid, and the hope of all parties involved—Alvarez's agent, the player's family, Atlético Madrid, and everyone else—is that Alvarez won't change his mind and won't leave Atlético Madrid to join Arsenal. We know Arsenal has considered this possibility and has been monitoring the situation for several weeks, but hasn't received any 'green light' from Julián."

"The reality is that some clubs are trying to understand whether there's still room for negotiation near the end of the transfer window, or whether Julián has had a change of heart. But the player has consistently maintained the same position: if possible, he wants to go to Barcelona. If it's not possible this summer—and the reality is that it's not possible—he will certainly strongly prefer to move to Barcelona in the future, and this remains Julián's plan."

Ethan Nwaneri news: Loaned to Borussia Dortmund

"Konstantelias, one of Dortmund's new signings this summer, is injured, and they need a replacement and have decided to sign Ethan Nwaneri. This is a player they wanted to recruit a year ago, they put him on their priority list a year ago, but it didn't happen then, and now the deal has been completed. He's joining on loan from Arsenal, with no option to buy and no obligation to buy clause. Nwaneri will return to Arsenal in summer 2027. He's on his way to Dortmund for his medical and to sign his contract. Nwaneri believes this will be the perfect opportunity to train, grow, and develop in Germany and get playing time, and many English players have done very well there, especially at Dortmund. So all parties believe this is a very good deal, and Nwaneri will be Dortmund's new player, and this deal has also been approved by Mikel Arteta."

Final day of transfer window summary: Balogun, Danso, and other deals

"Let's wrap up this video with a few other players, and of course we'll have more reports later. Folarin Balogun is joining Everton, 'Here we go', also breaking news from last night. This deal will exceed €45 million, Everton have a new striker, Beto is heading to Fiorentina. Balogun has accepted a four-year contract with a one-year extension option."

"Next is Kevin Danso, who is undergoing his medical at Sunderland today. Sunderland is signing Kevin Danso from Tottenham Hotspur while also signing Malik Fofana. Additionally, the Kevin Danso deal includes an obligation to buy clause, which is important and should be mentioned. Hull City have signed Norton Cuffy from Genoa as their new right-back, which is exclusive news this morning. Cody Drameh is joining Genoa for a fee of €4.5 million."

"Manuel Ángel, a midfielder from Real Madrid, is joining Fulham. Another talented Spanish player from Real Madrid is moving to Fulham. Arbeloa wanted Gonzalo García, and he also wanted César Palacios, and now Manuel Ángel has also joined from Real Madrid, on the same terms: a permanent transfer with a 50% sell-on clause and a first refusal right for Real Madrid. Additionally, many deals are happening, so get ready, there's lots of action happening in Italy as well, like Gudmundsson going to Lazio, etc. So we'll bring you all the news here, see you later."
