  • Al-Ittihad faces race to sign Mo Salah as Saudi window closes
  • People like Jesse Lingard and David de Gea have yet to find a new home
  • Listen to the latest episode of the Mail Sport podcast It all starts!

The 2023 summer transfer window may be a thing of the past as far as Premier League clubs are concerned, but several top stars are still on the hunt for new teams, with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey still able to sign players.

Davinson Sánchez, Tanguy Ndombele and Eric Bailly have all moved away from the Premier League since the deadline, and more out-of-favor players will hope to follow in their push for more mainstream first-team football.

One of the biggest stories in recent weeks has been Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool amid interest from Al-Ittihad, who had turned down an initial £150m bid. However, Thursday is deadline day in Saudi Arabia, meaning Liverpool have just one more day to deflect interest from Al-Ittihad – at least until the window opens again.

Meanwhile, there are still a handful of free agents, including Jesse Lingard and David de Gea, who have yet to find a new home.

Mail Sport takes a closer look at the latest transfer gossip on Thursday morning.
