With less than a week remaining before the transfer window slams shut, we take a look at the players that could still leave this summer.
Clubs across Europe are scrambling to balance incomings and outgoings, and a number of high-profile names could still be on the move in the final days of the market.
From Alexander Isak’s Newcastle future to Manchester United’s squad reshuffle, here’s a breakdown of the key players who may yet depart before deadline day.
Premier League Transfer News: Players That Could Still Leave
Newcastle United: Alexander Isak and Possible Exits
The transfer saga surrounding Alexander Isak remains the biggest story of the window.
Newcastle have been adamant they do not want to sell, but their search for reinforcements — including bids for Yoane Wissa and Jorgen Strand Larsen — suggests the door is not completely closed.
Liverpool are expected to test Newcastle’s resolve again, but much will depend on whether Eddie Howe’s side can secure a replacement. This could go right down to deadline day.
Elsewhere, captain Jamaal Lascelles could move on after falling down the pecking order, while Matt Targett has interest from Championship clubs.
Young striker William Osula is attracting loan offers but will only leave if Newcastle sign cover.
Crystal Palace: Marc Guehi Decision
Marc Guehi’s future is another storyline to watch. Palace do not want to lose their captain but risk him walking away for free next summer.
Liverpool have already sounded out his camp, and while Guehi would favour Anfield if a move happens, he could also decide to see out his contract.
Arsenal: Outgoings to Fund Deals
Arsenal want Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen, but to do so they need sales.
Jakub Kiwior is wanted by Porto, which has sparked the Gunners’ interest in the Ecuadorian defender.
Meanwhile, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson, and Albert Sambi Lokonga are all surplus to requirements and could go.
Academy prospects including Charles Sagoe Jr. and Maldini Kacurri could be sold or loaned out.
Expect movement here as Mikel Arteta trims his squad for one final push in the market.
Chelsea: Nicolas Jackson, Nkunku and More
No club has more unsettled players than Chelsea.
Nicolas Jackson has interest from Newcastle and Aston Villa, as well as Bayern Munich. His exit could hinge on how Newcastle handle Isak.
Christopher Nkunku is the subject of talks with RB Leipzig and Bayern, while Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are both available, though no deals are close.
Menawhile, Axel Disasi is wanted by Bournemouth, while several Under-21 players — Sam Rak-Sakyi, Alex Matos, Donnell McNeilly — are likely to head out on loan.
The final week could see a flurry of Stamford Bridge exits.
Manchester United: Garnacho, Hojlund and the “Bomb Squad”
Alejandro Garnacho’s proposed switch to Chelsea remains alive, though a fee must still be agreed.
Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund is drawing interest from Napoli, Leipzig, Atalanta and Milan, mostly for loan deals. The Dane wants to stay, but his recent omissions suggest a move is possible.
United are also working on exits for Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia, though these may prove harder to finalise.
Manchester City: Goalkeeper Carousel
City’s goalkeeper situation is worth monitoring. Ederson has been linked with Galatasaray, and his departure could pave the way for Gianluigi Donnarumma to arrive from PSG.
Stefan Ortega is also weighing up his options, with Bundesliga and Premier League clubs interested.
City insist they are not in formal talks yet, but developments could accelerate in the final 48 hours.
Liverpool: Harvey Elliott and Kostas Tsimikas
Harvey Elliott has admirers across Europe, including RB Leipzig, though Liverpool’s lack of depth in his role makes a sale uncertain.
Meanwhile, Kostas Tsimikas looks more likely to leave, with Roma keen on a loan deal. Liverpool prefer a permanent sale.
Tottenham Hotspur: Bissouma and Fringe Players
Yves Bissouma has just a year left on his contract and could move on after being sidelined by Thomas Frank.
Wingers Bryan Gil and Manor Solomon are also expected to depart, while teenager Luka Vuskovic may go on loan to Hamburg.
Nottingham Forest: Jota Silva Set to Go
Jota Silva is expected to join Sporting CP on loan with an option to buy, despite late interest from other clubs.
Forest are also open to moving on Omar Richards, Josh Bowler and Emmanuel Dennis.
With so many unresolved sagas, the list of players that could still leave before deadline day is extensive. Isak, Guehi, Jackson, Garnacho, Hojlund, Elliott — each case carries intrigue, uncertainty and the potential to reshape their clubs’ seasons.
One thing is certain: the final days of this window will be hectic.
