Bayern Munich are scrambling to find a replacement for Manuel Neuer but Yann Sommer could be the guy that they need.

Let’s get to the transfer moves:

In the six-yard box

The biggest transfer stories of the day. These are the deals that are happening, or at least on the verge of getting done.

Chelsea are set to make Enzo Fernandez the most expensive Premier League signing ever at £112 million

Fresh off of winning the World Cup with Argentina, all signs are pointing to Chelsea being Fernandez’s next destination. It could be quite a coup for a Benfica side that has flipped Joao Felix, Darwin Nunez, and Rubin Dias among others due to having one of Europe’s best scouting departments. Keeping up these record sales while also making deep runs into Champions League is quite impressive but Fernandez is particularly impressive as he just joined Benfica from River Plate in the summer. 

A deal isn’t done by any means but according to Cesar Luis Merlo, it is expected to come together in the next 72 hours. Fernandez is back in training at Benfica so it’s a deal in the balance. Personal terms won’t be an issue between the two with some reports suggesting there is a deal. Chelsea are also done with the initial part of Benoit Badiashile’s transfer as his move to the team is expected to be completed soon.

These moves may not be imminent, but there’s a lot of transfer fire in all the smoke these players and teams might be blowing.
