The deadline day for the 2024 Summer transfer window is approaching, with the window expected to be shut by 11:00 pm BST on Friday, August 30, 2024.
There are potential deals expected to be made before it closes, with teams looking to bolster their squads ahead to compete favorably this campaign.
Several Premier League clubs are still in the market in search of players, as they look to sort out different departments in their setup.
Teams like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are all expected to be active in the transfer market this week, with players coming and departing.
Top 10 Stars That Could Be Coming To Or Leaving The Premier League In The 2024 Summer Transfer Window
This article intends to provide you with 10 stars that could be coming to or leaving the Premier League before the end of the 2024 summer transfer window on Friday night, August 30.
Kepa Arrizabalaga
The former Real Madrid man is expected to leave Chelsea this summer, as it appears he isn’t in the plans of boss Enzo Maresca.
The Spaniard has been ostracized from the first team of the Blues, as he is amongst players who have been made to train separately from the main squad.
Given the state of Chelsea, there are reports that he could depart the club before the deadline of the 2024 Summer transfer window.
Kepa has apparently agreed to join Bournemouth on loan until the summer of 2025 and has also extended his deal with Chelsea until June 2026.
Raheem Sterling
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has spelled it out clearly to Sterling that he isn’t part of his plans, and as such, there are ongoing talks over the attacker’s future.
Raheem Sterling has been left out of Chelsea’s squad for their two league games this campaign, as Maresca prefers other players to him.
He is also training separately from the first team and is now seeking a move away, with Crystal Palace and Aston Villa understood to be interested.
There are also strong speculations claiming that Chelsea could offer both him and Ben Chilwell to Manchester United in exchange for Jadon Sancho.
Jadon Sancho
Sancho appears to have mended ties with Manchester United gaffer Erik ten Hag, but his future remains in doubt.
He made a cameo appearance in the Community Shield, where the Red Devils lost 7-6 on penalties, but since then, Jadon Sancho is yet to feature for the Old Trafford giants.
They have been involved in 2 league matches this campaign, with the Englishman excluded from both games.
Speaking over why Sancho was not included in Manchester United’s match day squad for their defeat to Brighton, Erik ten Hag said: “He’s here. I had a choice to make. We had some issues, we needed a full squad. He’s one of them and needs to compete for his position, we’ll have a look.”
Chelsea look to be keen on securing the services of the former Borussia Dortmund man, and they have indicated their interest to Manchester United.
Ivan Toney
Like Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling, Toney is yet to feature in the Premier League this campaign.
Ahead of Brentford’s match against Crystal Palace last week, handler Thomas Frank revealed Ivan Toney was absent due to ongoing transfer speculation.
Toney has reportedly agreed personal terms with Saudi Arabian giants Al Ahli, although the Pro League club are yet to match Brentford’s £50 million asking price.
Chelsea are also said to be interested in signing Ivan Toney and have approached Brentford to request for his services.
Victor Osimhen
It remains a mystery why Victor Osimhen has not been captured by any top club in Europe, having established himself as one of the most sought-after strikers in recent years.
Osimhen’s qualities aren’t in doubt, but it appears several factors have hindered him from moving to clubs he could be interested in joining.
Several clubs have indicated their interest in signing him, including Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca revealed on Friday, August 23, 2024, that he would like to sign a new striker, further fuelling rumors about Victor Osimhen potentially moving to Stamford Bridge.
There have been rumors filtering around of Napoli agreeing on a deal to sell Osimhen to Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli.
However, it looks like the Nigeria international is yet to agree on personal terms with the side and will prefer to remain in Europe.
Marc Guehi
Newcastle United have been keen on signing the center-back from Crystal Palace in recent weeks, with the Magpies have already having four bids rejected.
However, they remain hopeful that an agreement will be reached before the deadline of the 2024 Summer transfer window.
The Eagles are allegedly requesting £70 million from clubs interested in Marc Guehi, who was one of England’s best players at Euro 2024.
Jarrad Branthwaite
The Everton defender has been heavily linked with a move away from Everton in recent months.
Manchester Utd have already had two bids rejected and it looks like they are no longer interested in signing the English defender, having signed Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt.
However, Liverpool or Newcastle United could come into the picture before deadline day, as Everton need to offload players to meet up with financial rules.
Scott McTominay
Napoli have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Scott McTominay from Manchester United for a fee of £25 million.
The midfielder had initially been linked with Fulham, Galatasaray, and West Ham, but all three clubs failed to meet Manchester United’s valuation.
McTominay’s move to the Neapolitans hasn’t been made official, but it is expected to be completed before deadline day.
Manuel Ugarte
Manchester United have seemingly also signed Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint Germain, with the midfielder said to be undergoing his medicals today, August 27, 2024.
The Red Devils, who are set to make pure profit from the sale of academy graduate McTominay, are expected to use those funds to facilitate the move of Ugarte.
Manchester United have agreed personal terms with the midfielder, with the club understood to be parting with €50 million plus €10 million in add-ons to secure the services of Manuel Ugarte.
The deal is also not yet official, but the needed agreement and subsequent announcement should be completed within the next 48 hours.
Honourable Mentions On Stars That Could Be Coming To Or Leaving The Premier League Clubs In The 2024 Summer Transfer Window
Eddie Nketiah, who has been heavily linked with a move away from Arsenal this summer, has completed a move to Crystal Palace, although the deal is yet to be made official.
Nketiah has previously been linked with Olympique Marseille and Nottingham Forest, but several factors, including financial divergence, resulted in him not joining those clubs.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have completed a £29.6 million deal for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
The Georgia international will join the Anfield club officially from Valencia in the summer of 2025.
Romelu Lukaku has also reportedly completed a permanent move from Chelsea to Napoli for £25 million.
Al Hilal have apparently acquired Portugal international Joao Cancelo from Manchester City for a fee of £21 million but both deals are yet to be made official.
