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. The Bianconeri reacted swiftly and found an alternative in no time. On the final day of the transfer window, Juventus confirmed the signing of Senegalese midfielder Pape Matar Sarr.

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..

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, ..
