Soccer Daily for 02 September covers four transfer stories and fan reactions, moving through Balogun’s failed Everton medical, Monaco’s cancelled Camara-to-Chelsea deal, Gabriel Jesus joining Barcelona, and Julián Álvarez staying at Atlético.
\n\nFolarin Balogun’s proposed move from Monaco to Everton has been thrown into doubt after the striker failed his medical. A report attributed to French journalist Fabrice Hawkins said the transfer had been imminent, leaving Everton without the forward they expected to add.
Monaco have cancelled Lamine Camara’s proposed move to Chelsea, leaving Chelsea furious; comments say the deal had been agreed in writing and the midfielder had completed his medical. According to the BBC, the collapse came at the end of the transfer window, while the supplied post does not explain Monaco’s decision.
Gabriel Jesus has left Arsenal for FC Barcelona on a three-season deal, giving the Brazilian striker a surprising new chapter in Spain. According to Barcelona’s announcement, the clubs reached an agreement for the transfer, after Jesus began his career at Palmeiras and later established himself in Europe.
Julián Álvarez will stay at Atlético Madrid through this transfer window after rejecting Arsenal and other offers, ending the immediate push to join Barcelona. According to ESPN, Barcelona plan to revisit the deal in the next window, so the possibility of Álvarez playing alongside Lamine Yamal and Raphinha remains open for at least six months.
