5 transfer sagas which will conclude only on deadline day
The transfer window will slam shut at 11 PM (GMT) on 31st August and as always, some of the biggest transfer deals can be expected to take place on deadline day.
Every season there are a few transfer sagas which culminate only when the transfer window slams shut or on deadline day, as we have witnessed with the deadline day moves of Wayne Rooney, Gareth Bale, Mesut Ozil, Fernando Torres and Anthony Martial.
The saga involving David De Gea, Real Madrid and Manchester United also culminated post the transfer deadline with a paperwork fiasco preventing the Spaniard to complete his dream move to the Santiago Bernabeu outfit.
Here we take a look at the 5 transfer sagas of the current season, which will conclude mostly on the deadline day:
#5 Gareth Bale
Gareth Bale is constantly linked with a move to Manchester United, ever since he snubbed the Red Devils for a move to Real Madrid back in 2013.
Once again, since the start of the transfer window the Welshman has been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu outfit. The 28-year-old's last season with Los Blancos was marred with injuries and he was forced to play a bit-part role as a result.
While Zinedine Zidane has insisted that the Welshman is integral to his plans for the upcoming season, it might all change with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman wants assurance from the reigning UEFA Champions League winners regarding his playing time that he will be afforded and it is likely that Madrid will consider selling one of BBC to facilitate a world record move for the 18-year-old.
However, we will have to wait and watch, as to how this transfer saga develops but it is not expected to reach its conclusion before deadline day.
