Liam Delap is set to join Nottingham Forest for a record fee of £50 million, following a lackluster season at Chelsea where he scored only one Premier League goal. This transfer could yield a £20 million profit for Chelsea, who purchased him for £30 million. Meanwhile, Aston Villa has made an offer for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, although negotiations are ongoing and could hinge on Ollie Watkins' potential move to Al-Hilal for around £59.8 million.
As the transfer deadline approaches, several clubs are actively pursuing last-minute signings. Manchester United is interested in Stuttgart's Finn Jeltsch, while Newcastle has bid for Lille's Matias Fernandez-Pardo. Tottenham is also looking to finalize a deal for Omar Marmoush, which would significantly increase their summer spending, while Chelsea may receive a bid from Manchester City for Enzo Fernández, potentially marking the summer's biggest transfer.
