A thrilling deadline day might see Barcelona add another big star to their ranks.

Barcelona are reportedly pushing to complete a final signing before the transfer window closes.

The Catalans started the deadline day by agreeing to a loan exit for Sergino Dest.

The USMNT star joins Milan on a year-long loan deal. The Rossoneri will have the option to sign for €20m next summer.

Barca then finalized an agreement with Chelsea over a part-swap deal for Marcos Alonso.

The Spaniard joins Barca while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returns to London to join the Blues. The Catalans will also receive a €14m fee on top of the swap deal.

Elsewhere in London, Arsenal terminated Hector Bellerin’s contract. The 27-year-old joins Alonso as Barca’s deadline day arrivals.

However, the Catalans might still sign another player to end their busy transfer window.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a ‘big story’ is developing around Memphis Depay’s potential move away from Camp Nou.

The Dutchman has reportedly made it clear he will only leave Barca to join an elite club.

However, it is yet not clear which club and which player might have gotten involved in Depay’s deal.

In his 12-hour-long Twitch stream, Romano guessed Barca might be negotiating with Real Madrid for Marco Asensio.

We have to wait a few more hours to find out whether Barca can surprise their fans with a final signing tonight.
