It is finished for a 2025/2026 summer transfer window which will have broken many records. If many clubs and players have managed to find their happiness during the summer, this was not the case for everyone and it is not Neal Maupay who will say the opposite. The Marseille Olympic striker has not found a new fall and his Marseille future promises to be complicated. Not used on this start to the season and twice out of the group, the former Brighton was not missing tracks. Followed by Lens and Nice in Ligue 1, he was popular in Spain with Getafe, Italy on the side of Udinese, Genoa and Sassuolo, but also Turkey with Trabzonspor. Finally, he stayed at the quay. If the transfer window remains open in certain championships such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey or Greece, we will have to do quickly under penalty of having to wait until January. In any case, many options are already abandoned.

In a more pleasant club situation, Lucas Stassin Nevertheless saw his departure from AS Saint-Etienne blocked by its leaders. Despite a final charge in Paris FC which proposed 29 million euros, the Greens did not give in and claimed 42 million euros. The 20 -year -old Belgian striker will be precious in the quest for maintenance for the Stéphanois. In the promising young register followed by Paris FC, but stayed in his club, you can count on Matthis Abline. The 22 -year -old stayed in Nantes in a climate of tension with his coach Luis Castro. Pushing for his departure, the former Rennais will have been linked to Paris FC, to Olympique de Marseille, Rennes or even in Sunderland without changing air. On the Paris Saint-Germain side, Kang-in Lee also remained. If he will have a role of joker to take in the Ile -de -France club, he wanted to obtain more playing time and could have left for 30 million euros and the same amount as a bonus on the side of Nottingham Forest before the Ile -de -France veto put their veto.

Players who will still seek to leave

In the Premier League, there were some aborted starts. On the side of Aston Villa, Emiliano Martinez could have left. Manchester United tried the blow before finally buying the Belgian porter Senne Lammens. For his part, Galatasaray, another Argentinian contender preferred to bet on the local Uğurcan çakır. Finally, he will stay well with the villans. Loaned to Aston Villa last summer, Axel Disasi He is off to stay in Chelsea. Yet outside the plans of Enzo Maresca, the Frenchman was followed by Monaco and Bournemouth but also by the Saudi club of Neom. This option is not over since the Saudi transfer window ends on Thursday, September 11, but you will have to hurry. Always with blues, Raheem Sterling remained in the loft. Loaned last year at Arsenal, the winger will have to find an exotic option or wait at least until January in the stands.

Central defender of Crystal Palace arriving a year from the end of his contract, Marc Guéhi thought of going to the side of Liverpool, but the aborted transfer of Igor Julio (party to West Ham) ended the operation. Remaining in the Eagles, the English international will have to wait before finding another point of fall, but it has the advantage of being always in the plans of Oliver Glasner for this season. Hoped for Olympique de Marseille and desired at Real Betis Balompié, Dani Ceballos was not gone. He stayed at Real Madrid who seems to count on him. His situation remains good even if he should still have a joker role as in previous seasons.

Hoped by Inter Milan, ADEMOLA Lookman Debits his departure from Atalanta for weeks and has even dried up training. Bayern Munich and Galatasaray tried their luck at the end of the transfer window. The Turkish club still has until Friday September 12 to hope to complete the operation. Absent from the first matches of the season, the Nigerian still hopes to leave and if he does not manage on the side of Turkey, his reinstatement promises to be complicated. Become a replacement for AS Roma, Artem Dovbyk was followed by Villarreal who preferred Georges Mikautadze, AC Milan, Naples or Besiktas. The Ukrainian scorer stayed with the Giallorossi.
