On the final day of the transfer window, Liverpool made a last-minute attempt to sign 23-year-old French right-back Malo Gusto, but the deal collapsed as Chelsea sought to buy him permanently instead of loaning him. Meanwhile, Chelsea tried to sign 23-year-old midfielder Alex Scott from Bournemouth to replace Enzo Fernandez, but Bournemouth had no intention of selling their player this summer. In another development, Arsenal turned down a request from Chelsea regarding 27-year-old Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi, indicating no interest in moving the player. Looking ahead, Manchester United are planning to strengthen their defense in the upcoming transfer window. Several key defenders, including 31-year-old Luke Shaw and 33-year-old Harry Maguire from England, 28-year-old Lisandro Martinez from Argentina, and 27-year-old Matthijs de Ligt from the Netherlands, are currently on trial at the club. This suggests that United may be evaluating their long-term options at the back. Manchester United’s 18-year-old striker Chido Obi is eager to secure a loan move to either the Netherlands or his native Denmark, where the transfer window remains open until Wednesday. Feyenoord is among the clubs showing interest in the young forward. Meanwhile, Everton had shown interest in signing 26-year-old full-back Jordan Teze from Monaco, but the Ligue 1 club’s management refused to let him leave. Other notable moves include Fikayo Tomori, 28, who will return to AC Milan’s squad after rejecting a transfer. Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, 27, had discussions with club officials after they refused to allow his transfer to Manchester City. Wrexham are also interested in signing 39-year-old Jamie Vardy, though they face competition from Brazilian club Sao Paulo and Sheffield Wednesday. Finally, Saudi Pro League clubs Al-Ittihad and Diriyah are reportedly looking into signing 29-year-old Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey.
