Transfer window is heating up with significant moves expected before it closes in less than two weeks. Several players face uncertain futures, prompting speculation about their next destinations. Raheem Sterling has captured attention after Chelsea omitted him from their opener against Manchester City. Sterling’s representatives have sought “clarity” on his role, suggesting he might leave. The 29-year-old, who Chelsea acquired for £50 million in July 2022 has attracted interest from West Ham and Crystal Palace.

Chelsea’s busy transfer window has created internal tensions. Manager Enzo Maresca now manages a squad of over 40 players after Chelsea spent around £185 million on 11 new signings. Conor Gallagher’s move to Atletico Madrid remains pending while Ben Chilwell and Romelu Lukaku may also seek exits. Lukaku, still on Chelsea’s books despite two loan spells in Italy, could participate in a swap deal involving Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. Additionally, Joao Felix of Atletico Madrid might become part of a potential deal with Gallagher.

Ivan Toney of Brentford may also move soon with Brentford recently rejecting a £35 million transfer offer from Al-Ahli. Toney, who scored 20 goals last season, might leave Brentford soon with a move to Saudi Arabia appearing likely.

Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace has faced Newcastle’s three rejected bids, the latest at around £60 million. His future remains uncertain.

Joe Gomez of Liverpool has attracted interest from Newcastle, Aston Villa, Fulham and potentially Crystal Palace. The 27-year-old defender could soon make a move as these clubs explore options for bolstering their squads.

Mikel Merino, a key player in Spain’s Euro 2024 victory, currently negotiates with Arsenal. His contract with Real Sociedad expires soon, making him an appealing transfer target.

Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton has attracted interest from Manchester United and Liverpool. Everton has rejected bids for the young defender.

Scott McTominay and Jadon Sancho of Manchester United may also exit with various clubs expressing interest in their services.

As the transfer window approaches its end, expect several high-profile moves to shake up the Premier League and beyond.
