TRANSFER WINDOW CLOSED

Ivan Rakitic will stay at Barcelona until the end of the year at least, as the deadline for European clubs to sign players has now passed. 

Barca spent a reported £230million in the window, but failed to acquire their main target - PSG star Neymar.

They forked out £108m for Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, while allowing Malcom to leave for Zenit St Petersberg in a £37m deal. 

Neymar exit would have been terrible

Several PSG stars would have left the club if Neymar was sold this summer, according to legendary former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

“I think that he is one of the best players in the world and I am happy that he is staying at PSG,” said Wenger. “Because when you lose one of your two or three best players in the world, the law in our world is that the following year you lose the other.

“It is very difficult to have players who make a difference, even when you have a lot of money. When you have them, you must keep them.

“When you want to keep a player, it is better to convince him how important you are to him, rather than to give him zero chance to leave.”

Done Deal - Icardi signs

PSG have completed the signing of Inter Milan star Mauro Icardi.

The Argentine international will join on a season-long loan having been frozen out by San Siro boss Antonio Conte.

PSG will have the option to make the deal permanent for £59million. Reports add that Icardi will earn £140k per week plus £1.8m in bonuses.

Icardi: "I am going to give my heart and soul to help my new team go as far as possible in all the competitions. PSG has become a stronghold in world football... I thank PSG for their confidence in me."
