insider provides major late-window updates on Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United as the transfer deadline approaches.
Tottenham waiting on Richarlison decision before Ndiaye move
Romano says Tottenham have an agreement with Iliman Ndiaye, but Richarlison's decision will determine whether the deal can happen.
“Today, Monday, it is going to become immediately clear what is going to happen with Iliman Ndiaye. Ndiaye is Tottenham's No.1 target. Tottenham have an agreement with Ndiaye on the contract and an agreement with his agents,” Romano explained on his YouTube channel.
“They are ready to do the deal with Everton between the two clubs, but the point is what Richarlison wants to do. If Richarlison accepts going to Everton, Ndiaye can become a new Tottenham player.
“Otherwise, his future could be open again. He could go to Tottenham in a different way, or there could eventually be the possibility of joining another club because he is also on the list at other clubs. For example, he has been on Manchester City 's list for some time.
“Let's see what happens with Cody Gakpo , but for sure, the wingers' situation is going to be hot in the next hours.”
Liverpool have £85m Gakpo bid ready, but one condition remains
Romano reveals Manchester City have agreed personal terms with Cody Gakpo, while Liverpool's stance is dependent on finding a replacement.
“Then, talking about the Cody Gakpo situation, the agreement is done. Cody Gakpo and Manchester City have an agreement on the contract, all set already,” he said.
“Manchester City have also sent an £85m bid to Liverpool. Liverpool will only accept if they get the right winger before the end of the deadline. Otherwise, they will keep Cody Gakpo.
“So this is the domino now. Who is the winger they want? At the moment, the favourite, more than Yankuba Minteh, is Ismaila Sarr. Ismaila Sarr is the favourite candidate.
“My understanding is that Crystal Palace are still saying no to Sarr's exit. At the same time, they are also exploring possibilities for wingers on the market in case they get the right proposal for Sarr.
“Liverpool had a bid rejected earlier this week. There were zero links in the media between Ismaila Sarr and Liverpool, but I told you Liverpool sent a bid. It was £50m and was rejected by Palace.
“All people denied this, but now they are all talking about Ismaila Sarr and Liverpool because there was a bid and it got rejected. I can guarantee 100% that there was a bid sent by Liverpool in writing, so an official bid, not a verbal proposal.
“It was £45m plus £5m in add-ons, for a £50m package, but Crystal Palace are not selling the player for this money.
“So, let's see what is going to happen there. Ismaila Sarr wants the move. He wants to go to Liverpool, but now it depends on the two clubs.
“Again, as I told you in the last video, Liverpool are being offered wingers every minute because all the clubs and all the agents know that Liverpool obviously need a winger.”
Gabriel Jesus completes Barcelona move as Martinelli heads to Saudi Arabia
Romano confirms two major Arsenal departures, with Gabriel Jesus joining Barcelona and Gabriel Martinelli moving to Saudi Arabia.
“Gabriel Jesus today will be in Barcelona to sign as a new Barca player. Done deal, here we go, confirmed, everything done,” Romano said.
“Arsenal authorised the travel after the two clubs exchanged documents overnight. The deal is worth €10m fixed fee, €4m in add-ons, with a 20% sell-on clause. It is a two-year contract with a one-year option for Gabriel Jesus at Barcelona.
“Gabriel Martinelli will fly this week to Riyadh, joining Al-Hilal, as I told you. It is going to be a deal worth more than €65m for Arsenal, so they will get very good money for Gabriel Martinelli.
“Martinelli will also get very good money in terms of his contract. It is a four-year deal for Gabriel Martinelli, who is now leaving Arsenal.
“So, Gabriel Jesus out, Gabriel Martinelli out. Let's see if Arsenal will do something in these final hours of the market because we should not rule out anything.
“I think there will still be movement at Arsenal in terms of players being offered and in terms of attacking options. So let's see what is going to happen with Julian Alvarez and all the rest.”
