Werner did want Liverpool - but not willing to wait 12 months for his move to Premier League. That gave Chelsea the chance to make their offer.

Can't lie, I think it's best for everyone that Pogba leaves United. Sometimes you've got to accept a big player is not going to work out, no matter his talent. He'll be great at Madrid or Juve next season but Utd can't worry about that. Just make sure replacement fits the plan.

Leicester value Ben Chilwell similarly to Harry Maguire - so expect his valuation to stick around the £80million mark.

Left foot, right foot, headers, tap-ins, volleys. Luka Jovic has got it all. Madrid are wise to close a deal for him quickly. €60m should prove to be a great deal.

There aren't many teams that have their defeats globally celebrated. I'd say Madrid and Man United are the two that stand out. Probably something their fans should be proud of tbh. Sign of greatness.

Neymar is driving the move from PSG to Barcelona and it has gathered such momentum that you really can't rule this transfer out. His family all ready to move to Spain if it happens - which is more significant than it may initially sound.

The Havertz move to Chelsea is fascinating. Wasn’t an initial prime target but club felt this was an unmissable opportunity as it became clear no one else had the cash to sign him. He’s not just a great prospect for the future, he’s brilliant for right now.

After last season's Premier League domination, fair to say La Liga are fighting back. Griezmann and De Jong in at Barcelona. Hazard, Jovic, Mendy, Militao and Rodrygo in at Madrid. so far!. Spain's transfer window closes almost a month later than England's.
