Fabrizio Romano has revealed that a huge Premier League deal could still happen before the transfer window closes.
The summer transfer window will close for Premier League clubs at 11pm BST on Friday, but a number of deals could be rushed through before then.
The futures of stars including Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho and Ivan Toney could all be resolved, with all three seemingly having no future at their current clubs.

One huge deal looked to be dead in the water, but according to Fabrizio Romano it could be resurrected in spectacular fashion.
On Friday morning Romano reported that Newcastle's pursuit of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi is not completely over despite reports that it was.
Newcastle have made several bids for the English defender this summer, but Palace rejected their latest offer of £65 million plus £5m in add-ons.

On Thursday evening it looked like Eddie Howe's hopes of signing the 24-year-old were over, but now Romano has insisted that there is still a chance a deal could be agreed.
"At the moment, it’s still very difficult for Newcastle to land Marc Guehi," Romano said during his daily briefing on Friday morning.
"The deal is not 100% off yet and Newcastle will try until the end, but Palace are insisting on their valuation being met so it remains complicated.

"Palace have always been making it difficult for Newcastle this summer and they’re not changing their position now either."
Palace are desperate to keep hold of Guehi after selling centre-back Joachim Andersen to Fulham.
Maxence Lacroix is set to arrive from Wolfsburg as his replacement, but Palace would not have time to bring in a replacement for Guehi should he depart for Northeast.
Guehi impressed for Palace last season and for England at Euro 2024.
