10 transfers that could still go through this summer including Man Utd and Liverpool deals

Premier League clubs have already been busy this summer but the closing weeks of the transfer window could see a number of high-profile deals finallt come to fruition
This summer has already been a busy one when it comes to big-money transfers. As has often been the case, the Premier League has led the way, but English clubs might not be done just yet.
Since the transfer window opened, teams in England's top-flight have spent big. We've already seen one move which could end up breaking the Premier League transfer record - Florian Wirtz's move from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool - and that's just one of countless £50m+ deals across the country.
Among those other deals are Liverpool's swoop for Hugo Ekitike, Arsenal's deal for Viktor Gyokeres and Manchester United's moves for Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. We've also seen some notable overseas moves, with Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford among those to leave the Premier League.
What might come next, though? Here, Mirror Football looks at some other deals which could yet get over the line before the window slams shut.

Marcus Rashford's Barcelona home debut moves to tiny stadium with eye-watering ticket prices

Barcelona's lack of available stadia means they will have to play a pre-season game at their women's stadium, which holds just 6,000, as Marcus Rashford prepares to make his home debut Marcus Rashford's home debut for Barcelona has been moved to a stadium that has a capacity of just 6,000 with the Nou Camp still not ready after its renovation. ‌ The La Liga champions will take on their former star Cesc Fabregas when he brings his Como side to Spain to play in a Joan Gamper Trophy showdown on Sunday night, which will also mark the first time loan signing Rashford has been able to play in front of his home fans. ‌ The team cannot play at the Estadi Lluis Companys, where they held their home games last season, due to its obligations to host a number of concerts. Barcelona had been looking to stage the match in their new-and-improved Nou Camp but had those hopes were ended by the city council last month. ‌ As a result they have had to turn to the city's 6,000-capacity Johan Cruyff Stadium, the home of Barcelona's women's team, to host the match. Tickets will therefore be at a serious premium and that has been reflected in the prices. They went on sale on Monday and the cheapest ticket will set you back an eye-watering £120 (€138). The most expensive costing fans £172 (€198). Rashford has just joined from Manchester United for the duration of the upcoming season, securing the move he craved more than any. The England international made his first outing in a friendly with Vissel Kobe late last month. Rashford has already found the net for his new side, converting in the 65th minute of Barca's 5-0 win over South Korean side Daegu FC on Monday. ‌ The United loanee bolsters a forward line that includes the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. However there are fears that Barcelona's financial issues could mean Rashford isn't registered by the start of the season. A similar issue last season left them struggling to register Dani Olmo, their marquee signing of 12 months ago, with La Liga keeping tabs on the balance sheet. However Rashford is confident the issue will be sorted. He said: "It's something for the club to sort out. I believe they are going to get it sorted. I just focus on training and be ready for the start of the season." Club president Joan Laporta told Marca: "We signed this player because he was deeply committed to coming to Barcelona."

Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey to appear in court on rape charges

Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey is due to appear in court charged with raping two women. The midfielder faces five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault following alleged offences between 2021 and 2022, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said. The 32-year-old is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. Partey's lawyer, Jenny Wiltshire, previously said he 'denies all the charges against him', adding he welcomed 'the opportunity to finally clear his name'. The Ghanaian international was charged four days after leaving the North London club when his contract expired at the end of June. Partey, of Hertfordshire, is accused of two counts of rape against one woman and three counts of rape against another. The sexual assault allegation relates to a third woman, according to the CPS. The Metropolitan Police said it first received reports of an allegation of rape in February 2022. Partey joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020 in a transfer worth around £45 million. The defensive midfielder signed for the Spanish club in 2012 and made 188 appearances, as well as going out on loan to Mallorca and Leganes. He played 35 games for the north London club in the Premier League last season, scoring four goals. Partey has also made more than 50 appearances for Ghana – including at the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations. An Arsenal spokesperson previously said: 'The player's contract ended on June 30. Due to ongoing legal proceedings the club is unable to comment on the case.'

10 players who went on strike and what happened next as Alexander Isak makes Newcastle return

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has returned to the club's training ground, having missed out on the club's pre-season action and returned to Spain to train With less than a fortnight to go until the start of the Premier League season, Alexander Isak's future is far from certain. He's back at Newcastle for the time being, though, and that's a start. ‌ The Swedish striker sat out Newcastle's recent pre-season responsibilities with a minor injury. He would also quite like a move away from Tyneside - ideally to Premier League champions Liverpool. ‌ Isak went back to Spain to train with former club Real Sociedad, nominally to work his way back to full fitness. While he was away, Liverpool made their first bid and Newcastle decided it wasn't enough to convince them to cash in. ‌ He has been spotted at the Magpies' training ground ahead of what could be some awkward talks regarding his future. If things don't go to plan, the nuclear option might involve going on strike - but that too is no surefire thing. Over the years, other players have gone on strike with mixed results. Here, Mirror Football takes a look at how some of those other players got on. George Best If you thought this was a new phenomenon, you'd be wrong. Back in 1974, Manchester United legend George Best was dropped by boss Tommy Docherty - reportedly after the manager dropped him for going on a three-day bender. Best made it clear he was done with United, and it turned out he was done with the English top flight. His career continued in the lower leagues - via spells in the United States and South Africa - but he never played in the old First Division again. Diego Costa Costa twice fired Chelsea to Premier League glory, first under Jose Mourinho and then under Antonio Conte. However, things didn't go quite as well in his second season under the Italian boss. ‌ Conte let Costa know by text that he wouldn't be part of the Blues' plans in the 2017-18 season, prompting the striker to head to Brazil while his team-mates returned for pre-season training. He did eventually get the exit he desired, rejoining Atletico Madrid, but not until January 2018. Clint Dempsey Dempsey refused to play for Fulham against Norwich at the start of the 2012-13 Premier League season amid reports of interest from Liverpool. "At first we didn't want to get rid of him, later on we had to change our position. But our view is that we won't let Clint Dempsey go on the cheap, that's for sure," manager Martin Jol said. ‌ Fulham let the American join Spurs, not Liverpool, for £6m. We'll leave it to you to decide what "on the cheap" meant back in 2012, but it's worth noting that Dempsey would later return to Fulham on loan - albeit when Jol was no longer in charge. Julien Faubert Julien Faubert was desperate to leave Bordeaux in the summer of 2007, with Rangers and West Ham both keen. In the end it was the Premier League club who won the race, and te French international would later argue his case. "Sometimes you have to take extreme measures. I used that to show my unhappiness," he told RMC. "It was not a lack of respect towards the club. I will never disassociate myself from Bordeaux, because they are a club who have been enormously useful to me in my career, who made me progress and allowed me to become an international." ‌ Pierre van Hooijdonk Dutch striker Van Hooijdonk fired Nottingham Forest to promotion before playing in the Dutch side which reached the World Cup semi-finals in 1998. When he returned, though, he didn't see his future lying at the City Ground. After asking for a transfer but failing to secure a move away, he went back home to train with former club NAC Breda (sound familiar?). He eventually returned to the Forest line-up, but left in the summer of 1999 after suffering relegation. ‌ A number of other moves would follow, including two stints with Feyenoord. He even had time for a second official spell in Breda, separate from that brief foray in 1998. Riyad Mahrez In the summer of 2017, Algerian winger Mahrez told Leicester he wanted to leave the club. He did the same the following January, having failed to seal a summer exit, and stayed away from Foxes training. ‌ "I was away from here because I needed some time to think," he said after returning to first-team action. "You'll always have regrets but at that time I thought it was the best thing to do." Mahrez did eventually get his move in July 2018. He would end up spending five years with Manchester City before leaving for Al Ahli, where he still plays today. Matheus Nunes ‌ Speaking of Manchester City players, Nunes made sure his move to the Etihad Stadium would come to fruition in 2023. And his decision to go on strike wasn't exactly well-received. "I was disappointed with how it ended, it wasn't necessary the stance Matheus took, but we ended with a good resolution for everyone," Wolves transfer chief Matt Hobbs said. "Matheus is a hugely talented player but would admit that last season he didn't hit the heights he expected, but it was a tough season for the team, so maybe he wasn't allowed to do that." Nunes has found things tricky in his two seasons with City. However, he did score a crucial late winner against Aston Villa last term to help his team qualify for the Champions League. ‌ Paul Scholes Scholes has legendary status at Manchester United but that wasn't always a guarantee. Back in 2001, the academy graduate was left out for a league game and reacted by refusing to play against Arsenal in the League Cup. "Yeah, that was a stupid thing to do, I know that now," Scholes said a decade later. "At the time you think it's right - you're young and you're not as experienced as you should have been. ‌ Thankfully for the midfielder, he wasn't left regretting it too long. Less than two years later, he was celebrating another league title with United - having scored a career-best 14 league goals along the way. Sebastien Squillaci Sure, Squillaci might not be the player you think of first when discussing strike candidates, but football is full of surprises. Not only did he refuse to play for Sevilla amid interest from Arsenal, but he did so after being named in Antio Alvarez's XI for a game against Braga in the Champions League qualifiers. ‌ 'I knew if I played against Braga then I would not have been able to play for Arsenal in the Champions League,' Squillaci said. He played just eight Champions League games for Arsenal, and just 39 in total - you can't help but wonder if he still thinks it was worth it. Carlos Tevez Early in the 2011-12 season. Tevez refused to come off the bench for Manchester City. The club took disciplinary action, and he was out of the picture for months, though he would later argue he didn't go on an effective strike - claiming it was all a misunderstanding. After six months away from the team, Tevez returned to action in March and later scored big goals to help City win the title. That was enough for pretty much everyone to put the whole affair behind them.
