Manchester City: Donnarumma replaces Ederson
Manchester City surprised everyone by signing Gianluigi Donnarumma, an Italian goalkeeper, from PSG for about £26 million. The 26-year-old will wear the No. 99 shirt and has signed a five-year deal with the option to add another year. To make room, long-time goalkeeper Ederson left the Etihad after eight years of winning trophies and moved to Fenerbahce for about £12 million. After so much success with Ederson, Pep Guardiola is now starting the season with Donnarumma as his new No. 1. This is a big change.

Crystal Palace: Guehi stays put
It looked like Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi was heading to Liverpool for £35m, but the deal collapsed in dramatic fashion. Palace pulled out at the last minute after failing to secure a replacement. Manager Oliver Glasner had urged the club not to sell, and in the end, Guehi stays in South London — at least until January. Palace did bring in teenage forward Jaydee Canavate, but keeping Guehi is seen as their most important move of the night.
Manchester United: Squad clear-out
Manchester United was occupied with player transfers. Rasmus Højlund went on loan to Napoli with a buyout option, while Antony joined Real Betis permanently. Additionally, Jadon Sancho left on loan to Aston Villa. Senne Lammens, a 20-year-old goalie from Royal Antwerp, was acquired by United. Erik ten Hag and the club's new management trimmed the team and got ready for a new beginning, so it was a definite reset at Old Trafford.

Newcastle United: Wissa joins the Magpies
Newcastle moved swiftly to acquire Yoane Wissa from Brentford for roughly £55 million after losing Isak. Just seconds before the deadline, the deal was finalized. By wearing the No. 9 shirt, Wissa provides Eddie Howe's team with much-needed offensive power. In order to maintain a strong attack even after losing their Swedish star, Newcastle also added striker Nick Woltemade.
