The 2023 summer transfer window may be a thing of the past as far as Premier League clubs are concerned, but several top flight stars are still looking for new teams with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey still able to sign players.
Davinson Sanchez, Tanguy Ndombele and Eric Bailly have all sealed moves away from the Premier League since deadline day, and more out-of-favour players will hope to follow in pursuit of more regular first team football.
One of the biggest stories of recent weeks is Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool amid interest from Al-Ittihad who had an initial £150m bid rejected. However, Thursday is deadline day in Saudi Arabia, meaning Liverpool have just one more day to stave off Al-Ittihad’s interest – until the window reopens that is.
Meanwhile, there are still a handful of free agents, including Jesse Lingard and David de Gea, who have yet to find new homes.
Mail Sport takes a look at all the latest transfer gossip on Thursday morning.
