High-Profile Transfer Targets

Chelsea had previously set a firm deadline of 5pm on Friday, August 14, for any bids. Xabi Alonso has noted that Fernandez is “training really well” for the upcoming season, though City could still test Chelsea’s resolve with an offer near the £120m valuation.
- Julian AlvarezThe Atletico Madrid striker is a target for both Arsenal and Barcelona. Any deal would likely be a club record, given that Atletico has already rejected bids of £85m and £130m from Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively.
