City sign fourth African – this time it’s a Senegal star

We saw Rayan Cherki at the weekend, once again causing havoc in the opposition defence since joining Manchester City. The Frenchman toys with defenders, twists and turns with the ball, pulls off tricks and does things that few footballers in the Premier League, or even in Europe, can do with a ball at their feet. And yet he is not even City’s most effective dribbler. In fact, he will not even be among the top three at the Etihad, because City have just unveiled Iliman Ndiaye. When Liverpool blocked Cody Gakpo’s departure, City reacted expertly, taking advantage of Richarlison’s intervention that scuppered Tottenham’s deal with the Senegalese forward, and luring one of the Premier League’s best dribblers to the Etihad. Everton’s coffers have now been boosted by a fixed 70 million euros, with the Toffees able to earn another six million euros in bonuses.He’s here 🤩🇸🇳 pic.twitter.com/MhVNGqt7cI— Manchester City (@ManCity) September 1, 2026 And now we can talk about Manchester’s dribbling ..

Lille earned 160 million from English clubs alone

Things are falling apart left, right and center, while Lille are once again smiling and rubbing their hands, having fleeced the English for the second time in five days! Last Thursday, Manchester City splashed the cash on the club from northern France, paying as much as 95 million euros for Moroccan midfielder Ayoub Bouaddi, making him Lille’s biggest-ever outgoing transfer. But that wasn’t the end of it. Now it was Newcastle’s turn to get fleeced — Matías Fernandez-Pardo for 60 million euros. Newcastle were testing the waters, initially approaching the Ligue 1 side with an offer of 45 million and receiving a negative response. It was too little for the Belgian forward, who can play anywhere across the front line. Lille were asking for as much as 70 million, but they didn’t quite get that much…We are delighted to announce the signing of Matias Fernandez-Pardo for an undisclosed fee.The 21-year-old Belgium international forward joins on a long-term contract and becomes the club’s eight ..

Juve miss on an Ivorian, but bring in Senegalese

Juventus had hoped to strengthen their midfield with long-term target Franck Kessie, but the Ivorian eventually grew tired of their hesitation and returned home, to Bergamo.

Diaby comes back to Germany

They won’t make a profit, of course — nobody expects that from Saudi clubs. But Al Ittihad have at least managed to recoup a respectable portion of what they invested when they signed Moussa Diaby from Aston Villa in June 2024, as the Frenchman is now returning to Bayer Leverkusen. And for a record fee, if we count Saudi clubs’ sales to clubs from other countries. Leverkusen initially came in with an offer of 18,000,000 euros, before the figure rose to 27,000,000 euros, according to German outlet Kicker, which was the first to report the news. Fabrice Hawkins, one of the more respected transfer specialists, claims the fee is as high as 37,000,000 euros, while Bild puts it at 28,000,000 euros. The discrepancy could certainly be down to bonuses.Nuestra historia merece un nuevo capítulo…📜¡𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐒𝐀 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐁𝐘 está de vuelta! 😍 @MoussaDiaby_19 #SomosBayer04 🖤❤️ pic.twitter.com/NXqvkYNJh9— Bayer 04 Leverkusen (@bayer04_es) September 1, 2026 Whatever the exact figure, it is still the biggest trans..

Gasperini blocks Kone’s move to Chelsea

The club’s financial experts would probably have chosen the money. But Gian Piero Gasperini thinks only about what happens on the pitch, which is why he blocked Manu Kone’s move to Chelsea, even though it would have made him the second-most expensive sale in Roma’s history. Chelsea, spurred by the possibility of Enzo Fernandez moving to Manchester City for 140,000,000 euros or more, began searching for his replacement and were prepared to spend big. According to Italian media reports, Roma received an offer worth 60,000,000 euros plus Jamie Gittens on a season-long loan. And it was no coincidence that Gittens’ name was included in the equation, because Roma had already planned to offer Chelsea 5,000,000 euros for the 22-year-old winger’s loan, with an option to buy for 55,000,000 euros.🚨 Manu Kone proving difficult as Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini has insisted the player stays.(@JacobsBen) #CFC pic.twitter.com/8RD0Amk64H— Chelsea Dodgers (@TheBlueDodger) September 1, 2026 However, ..
