Sports News: Transfer Deadline Day News And Rumours

Ben Chilwell
Crystal Palace is poised to finalize a loan deal for Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell on deadline day, as both clubs work out the defender’s salary details. Chilwell has been seeking a move this winter and has attracted interest from several teams. According to The Athletic, Crystal Palace has reached an agreement with Chelsea to bring the England international on a six-month loan until the season concludes.
Nico Gonzalez
In another development, Nico Gonzalez is currently undergoing a medical examination in Portugal before heading to England to officially complete his transfer to Manchester City. Porto will receive a fee of €60 million (£49.9 million/$61.9 million) for the midfielder, who will join Pep Guardiola’s team.
Pablo Torre
Additionally, FC Porto has begun discussions with Barcelona regarding the transfer of midfielder Pablo Torre, as Nico Gonzalez prepares to leave for Manchester City. Negotiations are ongoing, but Porto is also considering other players.
David Datro Fofana
Chelsea has recalled Ivory Coast forward David Datro Fofana from his loan at Goztepe, as confirmed by the club’s official statement.
Caleb Wiley
U.S. international Caleb Wiley has signed a loan deal with Watford in the English Championship for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
Marc Guehi
On transfer deadline day, Crystal Palace reportedly rejected a significant offer from Tottenham Hotspur for defender Marc Guehi. According to The Guardian’s Ed Aarons, Palace felt that losing their captain at this late stage in the transfer window would be too risky, as they wouldn’t have enough time to find a suitable replacement.
Jorginho
Lastly, Arsenal’s Jorginho has signed a pre-contract with Brazilian club Flamengo after the Gunners declined to let him leave during the winter transfer window. Italian journalist Rudy Galetti reports that Flamengo has secured a pre-contract with Jorginho for a summer move, ensuring that the 33-year-old will remain at Arsenal until the end of the season before joining the Brazilian Serie A team ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States.
