Deals are sure to be reached in a lot of lengthy transfer sagas, but for every player that gets a move, there are others who will finish the window exactly where they started.
Following his benching of Trevoh Chalobah, Ben Chilwell, and Raheem Sterling on the first weekend of the season, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is one manager hoping “solutions” may be found this week.
“Hopefully, if they find a solution, it will be better for them when the transfer window closes. We’ll see whether they are unable to come up with a solution, Maresca remarked.
What choices do teams have, though, if they are unable to let go of undesired players? What happens to players who are unable to get the desired move? Is there no chance left for a resolution now that the transfer window has closed?
We examine the possibilities that are listed on the table.
