Premier League Transfer Window Final Week: Key Moves and Surprises

The 2025 summer transfer window is entering its final week, with the deadline set for September 1 at 7 p.m. BST. Premier League clubs have already spent over £2.2 billion on transfers, and the record of £2.36 billion set in 2023 is likely to be surpassed. Here are the key issues and potential surprises to watch as the window closes.

Alexander Isak's Future

Alexander Isak's potential transfer has been the saga of the summer. Liverpool has shown strong interest, offering £110 million, but Newcastle has remained firm in their stance to keep the Swedish striker. With the deadline approaching, it remains to be seen if Newcastle will capitulate or if Isak will stay at St James' Park.

Manchester United's Player Exodus

Manchester United is under pressure to offload players to raise funds. Despite efforts, they have yet to secure any significant deals. Players like Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Jadon Sancho are still on the roster, with potential moves to Chelsea, Roma, and Real Betis respectively. The club may have to lower their asking prices as the deadline looms.

Yoane Wissa's Potential Move

Brentford's Yoane Wissa is another player to watch. His future is tied to Isak's situation at Newcastle. If Isak leaves, Newcastle's interest in Wissa will intensify, potentially driving up Brentford's asking price.

Marc Guéhi's Transfer Saga

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi is a target for both Liverpool and Manchester City. With his contract expiring next summer, Palace may look to recoup some funds rather than lose him for free. Liverpool is currently the frontrunner for his signature.

Bruno Fernandes' Saudi Interest

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has already rejected a move to Al Hilal, but Al Ittihad has shown renewed interest. While a move seems unlikely, a big-money offer could force United to make a tough decision.

Rodrygo's Potential Exit

Real Madrid's Rodrygo has fallen out of favor and is available for transfer. Manchester City could make a move if they offload Savinho, who is being pursued by Tottenham.

Goalkeeper Shuffle

Manchester City is considering a move for PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma, but it hinges on offloading Ederson. Galatasaray has shown interest in Ederson, but only at a low fee. The next week could see significant changes in City's goalkeeping lineup.

As the transfer window draws to a close, the next few days will be crucial for Premier League clubs. Stay tuned for the latest updates and potential blockbuster deals.
