Make us your Google favourite<\/span><\/p>\nTransfer insider Fabrizio Romano has delivered several major updates from the market, with Manchester United completing one signing as a deal for Ederson is off, while Barcelona snap up an attacker and Chelsea could sell Alejandro Garnacho.<\/p>\n
Article continues under the video<\/center> <\/p>\nManchester United-Ederson deal off<\/h2>\n Romano provided a major update on Manchester United\u2019s midfield plans, confirming their move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson has collapsed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a crazy 24 hours. The Brazilian midfielder from Atalanta was expected to join Manchester United, but I told you over the last seven to 10 days, let\u2019s wait for the medical check, let\u2019s wait for the medical test, let\u2019s wait for the next steps,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we can say that Atalanta received a formal communication about the Ederson deal being off. Ederson to Manchester United is not happening.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe communication has reached Atalanta today. The message coming from Atalanta is very clear. Atalanta\u2019s message is: \u2018We got a communication that the deal for Ederson is off, it is not happening.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Atalanta insist, according to them, according to the club, that Ederson is 100% fit, ready to play football, as he did with Brazil at the World Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the other side, Manchester United want to do extra checks on the player and they decided, after several sessions of medical tests, that Ederson has to be called back. So Ederson is not happening.<\/p>\n
\u201cAtalanta are more than happy to welcome back Ederson and have the player at the club. He has one year left on his contract.<\/p>\n
Andrey Santos completes Manchester United move<\/h2>\n Romano then confirmed that Man Utd have completed the signing of another Brazilian midfielder from Premier League rivals Chelsea.<\/p>\n
\u201cAndrey Santos is happening. Andrey Santos\u2019 medical was perfect. The player joins for \u00a348m plus \u00a32m.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is done. The contract is valid for five years plus a one-year option.<\/p>\n
\u201cAndre Santos to Manchester United is 100% confirmed. It is a here we go.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a9 IMAGO – Andrey Santos, Chelsea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nJoao Gomes deal with Atletico Madrid collapsed<\/h2>\n Continuing on the theme of Brazilian midfielders, Romano offered an update on Joao Gomes and Atletico Madrid, with that deal off but the Wolves man still destined to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday it looks like the news went everywhere about Joao Gomes not going to Atletico Madrid,\u201d Romano said. \u201cBut the deal is not off today. The deal for Joao Gomes has been off for weeks already, since the start of July, even the end of June.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were advanced negotiations, it is true, between Atletico Madrid and Wolves. The deal was very advanced, but it was never done and the deal has collapsed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAtletico Madrid sign Morten Hjulmand as their new midfielder. \u20ac40m plus \u20ac5m in add-ons, medical done, contract signed, here we go confirmed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen Alejandro Grimaldo, new left-back, Kang-in Lee, new winger for Atletico Madrid, and everything is ready for their three signings.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoao Gomes remains on the market because for the level of the player, he cannot be in the Championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure there will be more movements around Joao Gomes in the next weeks with new clubs reaching out to Wolves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barcelona complete Karim Adeyemi signing<\/h2>\n Romano then revealed another major deal, confirming Barcelona have completed the signing of Karim Adeyemi.<\/p>\n
\u201cKarim Adeyemi to Barcelona, here we go. \u20ac22m plus \u20ac7m in add-ons, with a sell-on clause for Borussia Dortmund,\u201d Romano said.<\/p>\n
\u201cKarim Adeyemi will be in Barcelona on Wednesday for the medical test and contract signing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdeyemi signs a five-year contract at Barcelona and he is going to fulfil his dream because he only wanted to go to Barca.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was his dream, as I told you, to go to Barcelona. Everything is done and Barcelona have one more offensive player after Anthony Gordon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marcus Rashford returns to Manchester United<\/h2>\n Romano also explained what the future now holds for Marcus Rashford after his Barcelona loan spell ended.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarcus Rashford returned to Manchester United. We know that Rashford\u2019s deal with Barcelona is not advancing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRashford is now at the World Cup. After the World Cup, Rashford will return to Carrington and will be available for Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I told you around 10 days ago, Rashford will start pre-season with Manchester United under Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, if a good proposal arrives, he can still leave Manchester United. Otherwise, he can be part of the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a9 IMAGO – Marcus Rashford is returning to Man Utd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAl-Hilal want Raphinha but Barcelona star wants to stay<\/h2>\n Raphinha has been linked with a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League, but Romano is insistent that the Brazil international\u2019s plan is to remain with Barcelona.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Raphinha, there is a club obsessed with him, and it is Al Hilal,\u201d the transfer insider confirmed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAl Hilal want to bring Raphinha to Saudi, but at the moment, Raphinha\u2019s desire is to stay at Barcelona. Raphinha is still fully focused on Barcelona.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf later in the summer this situation changes and at any moment Raphinha says he opens the doors to Saudi, I will come here and tell you. As of today, Raphinha is focused on Barcelona.\u201d<\/p>\n
PSG interested in Ferran Torres<\/h2>\n Another Blaugrana star who could potentially depart the club is Ferran Torres, who is attracting interest from PSG.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne year left on his contract at Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are behind the scenes calling for Ferran Torres,\u201d Romano said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPSG are talking with the agents of the player. PSG are interested in Ferran Torres.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe could be a backup option after Gonzalo Ramos left, to cover several positions, number nine and winger.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Ferran Torres is an option for Paris Saint-Germain. Not the only one, but there are talks with his agents.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a9 IMAGO – Ferran Torres, Barcelona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nRoma consider move for Alejandro Garnacho<\/h2>\n Finally, Alejandro Garnacho is in line for an express departure from Chelsea after arriving from Manchester United a year ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cRoma are considering the possibility to go for Alejandro Garnacho,\u201d Romano said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Roma are only considering an initial loan deal for Garnacho, not a permanent transfer.<\/p>\n
\u201cChelsea, as of today, are only opening doors to a permanent transfer for the Argentinian winger.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo now it is going to be up to all parties involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cEither Roma decide to invest big on Garnacho and give a guaranteed obligation to buy, or some different formula, or Chelsea could change their mind on how to let Garnacho leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are more clubs, not only Roma. But for sure Roma are involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cRoma wanted Mason Greenwood, but Greenwood is not happening. So Roma have genuine interest in Alejandro Garnacho and also Diego Moreira from Strasbourg.<\/p>\n
\u201cChelsea are ready to let Garnacho go. Chelsea are ready to part ways with Garnacho after just one season at the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Garnacho is also open to joining Roma. Garnacho is not creating problems about the move.\u201d<\/p>\n
