Deadline Day updates
Under the current regime, Chelsea have not been afraid to spend big and that theme has continued following the appointment of Alonso but the big question is – will Enzo Fernandez remain at Stamford Bridge?
The Chelsea and Argentina star has been heavily linked with a big-money switch to Manchester City, where he is reportedly keen to reunite with ex-Blues boss Enzo Maresca. As it stands, he is still a Chelsea player but it is one to watch on deadline day.
Chelsea have also reportedly emerged as a suitor for Roma and France international midfielder Manu Kone as Tottenham look set to prise Mykhailo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo from their London rivals.
Monaco’s Senegal international Lamine Camara has also been linked with Chelsea as a possible replacement for Fernandez, who missed the win over Brighton.
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez also looks poised to make the move to Cesc Fabregas’ Como in Serie A following Emi Martinez’s arrival.
How much have Chelsea spent and made this window?
Alonso has been allowed to splash $666.8million already this market heading into Deadline Day, while also bringing in $442.7m in sales.
What time does the transfer window close?
The 2026 Premier League transfer window will close at 11pm BST, Tuesday September 1 (8am, Wednesday September 2 AEST).
The window has been open since June 15, 2026.
When does the transfer window close in other leagues?
The September 1 (September 2 AEST) deadline has been aligned across Europe’s major leagues, with the Premier League, EFL, German Bundesliga, Italy’s Serie A, Spanish LaLiga and Ligue 1 in France all closing their transfer windows on the same day.
However, that doesn’t rule out departures after the deadline. Players can still leave Premier League clubs for competitions whose transfer windows remain open beyond September 2, like Turkiye for example.
Can signings be made after Deadline Day?
The Tuesday, 23:00 BST (Wednesday, 8am AEST) deadline does not necessarily mean the end of transfer activity.
If the required paperwork is lodged in time, clubs can be granted up to two additional hours to complete the remaining formalities, meaning some moves may not become official until after the window has closed.
