Football: Europe's top clubs scramble for last-minute signings

probably been the most talked about transfer saga of this summer window. It hasn't been publicly announced yet, but it is understood that Enzo Fernandez is set to leave Chelsea for Manchester City for one hundred and twenty five million pounds that would be a joint British record transfer fee, along with Alexander Isak when he moved from Newcastle to Liverpool last year. Fernandez is set to be reunited with former Blues boss Enzo Moresca, who was keen to land a sale to boost his squad after the departures of Rodri and Bernardo Silva. Fernandez's departure looked imminent as new Chelsea manager Xavi Alonso left him out of the squad for their last two games. There are reports that the London club are now exploring options for a potential replacement in midfield, including Monaco's Lamine Camara and Manu Kone at Roma. Meanwhile, Aston Villa have signed Ibrahim Mbaye from PSG for fifty five million euros. The 18 year old winger progressed through the French club's academy and made his senior debut at just 16 years old. Since then, he's won two Champions League and two league titles. Mbaye featured in all of Senegal's World Cup matches this summer. And Gabriel Jesus, meanwhile, is leaving a Premier League champions Arsenal for La Liga winners Barcelona. He's there completing his medical earlier today at the Camp Nou. The Brazilian forward joins the Catalans on a three year deal for 10 million euros. After four years at the Gunners, Gabriel had fallen down the pecking order behind Kai Havertz and Victor Querez. He is Barcelona's sixth signing of the transfer window. Obviously, Mark, a lot still to go on here. Obviously, a busy few hours left with that deadline. Slowly imminent in the Premier League. Some of the other leagues in Europe have already closed. But I've got a special update from Everton just for you, Mark, that you know by a bit more in the know than I am. For me, Grealish is looking like it's a done deal. But medical, just a formality. We'd be very surprised if that one isn't completed. And you've obviously got Fallerin Balagun, who looks like he'll be heading to Everton from Italy for 40 million euros. Obviously, a lot of people remember that red card scandal during the World Cup. That's Donald Trump's favourite player. Such a well-known name now. Does that mean Trump will support Everton? I doubt it, but there you go. We'll have to wait and see. And then obviously, there was that big plot twist. Manchester City are now said to have agreed a deal for Illim and NDI, who was leaving Everton. The big plot twist, because we thought that Tottenham were going to have him. But Richarlison's move the other way fell through. What's happening with that? Do we know? I have no idea. I think it's something to do with personal terms from what I understood. But you know, obviously, so many stories are going on in the transfer window. Let me look down the camera now and say, Richie, Pombo, come back home. We need you. Come back to us, Richarlison. I know you're watching. Come back to us. Come back to us, sir. We'll do that dance all together. When he scores that goal, that's the pigeon dance. Look at that. Great stuff. That's enough. Come on, Pombo. Come on. Come home to us. Sorry, Selina, go on. It's all right. Well, that's all I've got for you. I think there's one other player who's officially left. I can't remember his name right now. Beto, who's Feddington to Fiorentina. Yes, that's right. It's a good move for him. He's a very, very willing runner. Good player. Everton, quite busy. Yeah, well, you know, we try our best. And we need a boost. Maybe it's a greenish size boost that we're going to get. But he created for Sheldon and came back to it. Anyway, we'll have to wait maybe for the window, the winter window for that one, window even for that one.
