JAKARTA European clubs are busy announcing their new players ahead of the closing of the transfer market. The following is a recap of player transfers from several big clubs.

Two English Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool also continue to announce new names that will fill their squad to enter the 2023/2024 competition season.

From the Red Devils camp, one of the names announced was Sofyan Amrabat. The Morocco international midfielder was brought in on a one-season loan from Fiorentina.

The club, based at Old Trafford, costs 8.6 million to borrow the player. MU has the option to make Amrabat permanent, which will cost 20 million euros plus 5 million euros in addition.

Previously, United had signed full-back Sergio Reguilon, center-back Jonny Evans, and brought in Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

In addition, the Red Devils also released their Mason Greenwood to Spanish club Getafe. The 21-year-old was allowed to leave on loan for one season.

Last month, Manchester United said the young player whose contract was completed in 2025 would leave with a mutual agreement after allegations of rape and attacks he carried out.

Meanwhile, MU rival Liverpool signed midfielder Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munchdn with an agreement worth around 40 million euros. The Dutch international was contracted for a duration of five years.

Gravenberch will join fellow midfielders Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo who were signed by Liverpool this summer.

The announcement of new players ahead of the closing of the transfer market was also made by Brighton & Hove Albion.

The club will receive the services of Barcelona's young player Ansu Fati who comes on loan for a season.

Brighton's deal for the 20-year-old doesn't include an obligation to buy. Tottenham Hotspur has also been linked to Fati, but he is impressed by Brighton's style of play under manager Roberto De Zerbi.
