Top 10 transfer news of the day. The strange choice of the Chelsea goalkeeper and the new club of Ramos
Dynamo announced the transfer of two legionnaires
On the last Sunday of August, Dynamo presented two newcomers: midfielders Luis Chávez and Jorge Carrascal. These transfers have been talked about for a long time, but only now has everything been officially formalized. Carrascal is well known to RPL fans, as he previously played for CSKA. Last season, the Colombian was proclaimed champion of the Russian Cup and silver medalist of the championship, but this season he did not play a single game. Chávez became the first Mexican in the history of the RPL. Dinamo transferred money to a player who bought his contract from Pachuca. This is because the Blue and Whites had trouble transferring money to the Mexican club due to sanctions. Dinamo coach Marcel Lichka said that the newcomers will take the field in the cup match against Spartak.

Will Salah continue to play for Al-Ittihad?
The Premier League may lose another star player. Apparently, Mohamed Salah is very determined and wants to go to Saudi Arabia. Al-Ittihad offers the player a high salary and the opportunity to play in a Muslim country. It was reported that Mohamed will leave for a medical at a Saudi club after the Premier League match against Newcastle. Salah has already communicated to the English club his desire to go to Saudi Arabia. Just in case, we remember that Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Fabinho already play for Al-Ittihad. Salah has played for Liverpool since 2017 and won the Champions League with the team in 2019.
West Ham buy another Ajax player
West Ham have acquired a second player from Ajax. First, the London club bought midfielder Edson Álvarez, and now attacking footballer Mohammed Kudus. The Ghanaian international was paid €43m and after the move he said he had always dreamed of playing for England. Kudus is off to a great start this season (four goals in three games) and has amassed 18 goals in 42 games in the past. Mohammed can play both as a center forward and as a winger. Plus can act instead of the “ten”. His contract with the London club runs until the summer of 2028.

Lukaku willing to accept a salary cut for Roma
Roma and Chelsea are still in talks to sign striker Romelu Lukaku. According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Belgian accepts a pay cut. Now Lukaku earns 11 million euros and in the new team he will earn 7.5 million euros, an agreement remains to be reached between the clubs. Roma have offered 5 million euros for a loan, but Chelsea want a little more. Lukaku spent the last season on loan at Inter (37 games, 14 goals, seven assists). Romelu is likely to return to Italy and play with the scandalous José Mourinho. And Roma now needs newcomers, because the team started the new season badly (one point after two rounds).
What problems Chelsea had with Lukaku:
“Bye, embarrassing.” Chelsea paid 100 million for Lukaku and now they can’t get rid of him
Zakharyan has a partner with Premier League experience
Arsen Zakharyan has a new partner. Defender Kieran Tierney left Arsenal to try his luck in Spain. Real Sociedad have signed the 26-year-old on loan until the end of this season. Tierney ran 14 minutes in the FA Super Cup this season and last played 36 times and scored 3 (1+2) points in goal plus pass system. Before moving to London (it was in the summer of 2019), Tierney played for Celtic, with whom he became Scottish champion five times. Real Sociedad continues to strengthen its squad ahead of the start of the group stage of the Champions League.

CSKA found a new defender in Brazil
Red Bull Bragantino is the club we primarily associate with Claudinho. It was there that representatives of Zenit found the future holder of the Russian passport. And now CSKA has dealt with defender Juninho Capishaba. Ivan Karpov claims that the military team offered $5.5 million for the player, plus another $500,000 as a bonus. Payment will be made in several installments and the player will fly to Moscow to sign the contract at the beginning of the new week. By the way, Kapishaba has already chosen his number at CSKA – 29. This season, the defender played 40 games, scored three goals and provided four assists.
Sheffield pays 21 million euros for the winner of the Youth Euro Cup
Sheffield bought the young (21) striker from Aston Villa Cameron Archer and did not regret the transfer for 21.55 million euros. The forward has great statistics in the England youth team: six goals in 11 games. In the summer of 2023, Archer won the gold medal at the European Under-21 Championship and in the tournament he played five games and scored two goals. The boy only entered the field 14 times as part of the Aston Villa first team, but he played regularly in the youth category. Archer has played just 10 Premier League games so far this season. He now has the opportunity to significantly improve this figure.

Bayer found a new striker in the Championship
Forward Nathan Tella spent the last season with Burnley. He looked quite productive under the leadership of Vincent Kompany: 17 goals in 39 Championship games. However, Tella left Burnley after the team’s promotion to the Premier League. The fact is that the lease term expired, and the player’s rights belonged to Southampton. The 24-year-old winger has made three appearances in the English second division this season and scored once. Now Nathan will try his luck in Germany: he was bought by Bayer. Previously, the footballer played only in English clubs.
Pupil of “Krasnodar” Suleimanov rents the Greek club
Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov played last season on loan at Hapoel Beersheba. He played 35 games, scored five goals and gave six assists. The contract included a termination option, but the Israeli Club rejected this option. Shapi returned to Krasnodar, where he gets little practice from matches. In the Cup he came out for one game, and in the RPL he was released for just a couple of minutes. According to journalist Ivan Karpov, Suleymanov will continue his career at Aris. The Greek club rents the Krasnodar student until the end of the season. The lease will be free, the contract will include a termination option for 1 million euros.
Manchester United to sell goalkeeper to Crystal Palace
Goalkeeper Dean Henderson has gone through all of Manchester United’s youth teams. However, he never became a full-fledged player in the main team. At first David de Gea interfered, and now the Mancunians trusted André Onan, who was bought for decent money from Inter. Henderson has been on loan regularly and will now become Crystal Palace’s full-fledged goalkeeper. According to Fabrizio Romano, the parties have already agreed on the transfer of the 26-year-old goalkeeper and Manchester United will earn 23.4 million euros for the deal, and the first club will include a percentage of the subsequent sale in the agreement.
