The closing hours of the summer transfer window left several established names stranded after moves failed to materialise. Below are ten players whose planned exits did not happen and who now face the season in uncertain circumstances.<\/p>\n
Marc Gu\u00e9hi appeared set to join Liverpool after Crystal Palace accepted a \u00a335 million fee and the defender passed a medical. Palace could not find a replacement in time, with Igor Julio linked to West Ham instead, and Palace manager Oliver Glasner reportedly threatened to quit if Gu\u00e9hi, who will be a free agent next summer, was sold. The transfer collapsed and Gu\u00e9hi is said to be extremely disappointed, with attention turning to a possible January departure.<\/p>\n
Joe Gomez was poised to move to AC Milan after a \u00a313 million bid, but Liverpool could not finalise his exit until the Gu\u00e9hi deal was resolved and time ran out. Gomez has made cameo appearances in two of Liverpool\u2019s three Premier League matches this season and has fallen down the pecking order following the arrival of several new full backs. He remains one of only four orthodox centre backs at the club.<\/p>\n
Kobbie Mainoo sought more minutes after an impressive 2023\u201324 campaign but has seen development stall since Ruben Amorim\u2019s arrival and the coach\u2019s preference for a two-man midfield. Mainoo was eager for a loan move and attracted Real Madrid interest, but Manchester United blocked an exit and asked him to stay amid light numbers in midfield.<\/p>\n
Tyrell Malacia was the only member of five players who demanded to leave Old Trafford this summer that did not secure a move. He was close to a loan to Elche but talks broke down; his contract expires next summer and he is unlikely to feature much until his exit.<\/p>\n
Emiliano Mart\u00ednez appeared likely to leave Aston Villa but Manchester United instead signed Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp, leaving Mart\u00ednez at Villa and likely to be reintegrated.<\/p>\n
Raheem Sterling remained at Chelsea after an underwhelming loan at Arsenal and late interest from Fulham failed to produce a transfer. Tyrique George also saw a potential \u00a322 million move to Fulham collapse as the Cottagers completed other signings, while Axel Disasi could not find a new club despite interest and a loan at Aston Villa last season.<\/p>\n
Newcastle\u2019s pursuit of J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen was rejected by Wolverhampton Wanderers, who turned down bids. Strand Larsen asked Wolves to allow a move but was not desperate to force it, and Newcastle signed Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa instead. Ademola Lookman submitted a transfer request at Atalanta with bids from Inter rejected and late approaches from Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur failing to materialise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
