One goalkeeper is staying put despite plenty of interest; one forward's move is still genuinely up in the air.
Dean Henderson Isn't Going Anywhere
Crystal Palace have moved to keep goalkeeper Dean Henderson despite interest from Tottenham, Chelsea and Aston Villa, determined to retain their captain, who recorded 17 clean sheets across all competitions last season. Palace are understood to be ready to block any approach rather than sell.
Barcola's Move to Liverpool Is Not Confirmed
Bradley Barcola's situation with Liverpool remains unresolved. PSG value the 23-year-old at around ยฃ145m, while Liverpool's opening offer of roughly ยฃ85.8m was reportedly dismissed โ leaving a significant gap between the two clubs. Barcola is said to have already agreed personal terms with Liverpool, but nothing can be signed until PSG authorise a sale, and PSG have been strengthening elsewhere (agreeing deals for Ferran Torres and Mika Godts) which may pave the way for his exit.
For Context: Diomande Already Completed His Move
Ivory Coast defender Ousmane Diomande, whose name circulated around several big European clubs earlier in the window, completed his move to Nottingham Forest from Sporting CP on 11 August 2026, in a deal reported at around โฌ40m (ยฃ34.3m).
