Transfer news LIVE: Deadline Day looms – Nicolas Jackson to Bayern EXCLUSIVE, Isak to Liverpool TWIST, Garnacho latest

Nicolas Jackson is set to join Bayern on a season-long loan with a large buy option, Alejandro Garnacho nears a £40m Chelsea switch and Liverpool are preparing a £130m bid for Alexander Isak. Betting angle: back Bayern and Chelsea in goal markets for increased attacking output; monitor Isak transfer odds — a Liverpool swoop would shorten their title odds and lift Isak-related markets.

Deadline Day Transfer Round-Up: Key Moves and Rumours

Chelsea and several Premier League rivals are active as the transfer window winds down. Nicolas Jackson is travelling to Germany for a Bayern medical while Alejandro Garnacho appears set for a £40m move to Chelsea. Liverpool are reportedly preparing a record bid for Alexander Isak, and multiple clubs have agreed or are close to deals that could reshuffle attacking and defensive options across Europe.

Confirmed and Near-Completed Deals

Nicolas Jackson — Bayern loan with buy option

Nicolas Jackson has flown to Germany to complete a medical ahead of a season-long loan to Bayern Munich. The agreement reportedly includes a buy option in the region of £65m, with Chelsea set to receive an initial fee around £13m. The move gives Bayern a fresh striking option for the campaign.

Alejandro Garnacho — Chelsea closing in

Alejandro Garnacho is putting the finishing touches on a move to Chelsea, with terms reported at about £40m and a 10% sell-on clause. The winger is expected to complete his medical imminently and bolster Chelsea’s wide attacking options.

Liverpool eye Alexander Isak

Liverpool are preparing a substantial approach for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, with reports indicating a potential £130m bid. Newcastle’s valuation is understood to be higher, but a significant offer could shift the market and trigger late-window negotiations.

Rasmus Hojlund — Napoli agreement

Napoli and Manchester United have reportedly agreed a loan deal for Rasmus Hojlund featuring a conditional obligation to buy. The overall package is said to be worth over £43m, with the obligation triggered by specific sporting criteria.

Piero Hincapié — Arsenal loan-to-buy

Arsenal have reached terms with Bayer Leverkusen for Piero Hincapié on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy next year. The deal is reported as part of a package worth around £45m plus a sell-on clause.

Xavi Simons — Tottenham capture

Xavi Simons has completed a move to Tottenham from RB Leipzig on a lengthy contract after the two clubs agreed a transfer fee reported at £52m. The playmaker brings creativity to Spurs’ midfield.

Other notable moves

Enciso has moved from Brighton to Chelsea with an immediate loan/placement to Strasbourg as part of a reported £17m package. Facundo Buonanotte is close to a loan move to Chelsea without a buy option. Wolves agreed a £23.4m deal for Tolu Arokodare. West Ham signed Soungoutou Magassa from Monaco for around £17.3m. Nottingham Forest are set to sign Nicolo Savona from Juventus for roughly £11.25m. Manchester United and Real Betis reached terms over Antony, with the player travelling to finalise personal terms.

Late-Window Stories to Watch

Medical issues and paperwork

Several moves remain subject to medicals and late paperwork. Nick Woltemade reportedly faced medical issues at Newcastle, and other transfers could stall if conditions are not met. Bettors and clubs should monitor medical reports closely.

Player desires and blocked exits

Rumours persist about players seeking moves—Kobbie Mainoo has been linked with a desire to join Napoli—while clubs like Bournemouth have rejected offers for David Brooks. These dynamics can influence late negotiations and values.

Market Impact and Betting Considerations

Tactical and market consequences are immediate: Jackson to Bayern or Garnacho to Chelsea increases those clubs’ attacking depth, potentially shortening odds in goal markets and anytime-scorer lines. A Liverpool signing of Isak would alter title and top-scorer markets significantly. Late medical failures and contingent clauses (conditional obligations to buy) add risk; punters should wait for confirmed paperwork before staking significant sums and consider in-play odds shifts as confirmations arrive.
