<p>Here is a review of the last-minute transfers from August 31st, while some names may not be striking, they could very well be huge for the club and player involved. <strong>Here are 7 last minute transfer window signings to take notice this season.</strong></p>
<h2>7. Emerson Royal – Barcelona to Tottenham, €25 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210901_BUS_175017_emerson_royal_crop1630510890517.jpg_20222851_a1f9f7a9.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Emerson Royal (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>22-year-old Brazilian,<strong> Emerson Royal</strong> made an unexpected and interesting move to Spurs on the final day of the transfer window. Royal who was involved in a strange operation in 2019 which saw him move from Atlético Mineiro in Brazil to Spain in a joint transfer between Real Betis and Barcelona. Royal played two seasons for Betis and later Barcelona exercised their buy option and bought 100% of the player for €9 million from Betis. Two months later Barcelona sold Royal to Spurs for €25 million, in need of cash Barcelona made a good deal off a player who has had a modest career in Europe. For Royal, a chance to play at Spurs and be away from all the Barcelona drama can help him get back on the Brazilian national team.</p>
<h2>6. Tiemoue Bakayoko – Chelsea to AC Milan, Loan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210901_BUS_175017_tiemoue_bakayoko_crop1630510817313.jpg_20222851_7b8a5a77.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Tiemoue Bakayoko (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Tiemoue Bakayoko</strong> is just one of those Chelsea players stuck in limbo and has been loaned out yet again this time for a second stint at AC Milan. The French midfielder has good pace and dribbling and now back at Milan will hopefully impress and live up to his potential.</p>
<h2>5. Luuk de Jong – Barcelona, Loan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210901_BUS_175017_luuk_de_jong_crop1630510746680.jpg_20222851_c6321d76.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Luuk de Jong (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Despite being 1 billion euros in debt, Barcelona is still a destination for players. Netherland’s striker <strong>Luuk de Jong</strong> moved to Barcelona on a loan from Sevilla. For de Jong he is entering a good situation personally as he is highly rated by Ronald Koeman. Barcelona is in rebuild mode and Koeman’s job will depend on getting the most from “his” players.</p>
<h2>4. Matthew Hoppe – Real Mallorca, € 3.3 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210901_BUS_175017_matthew_hoppe_crop1630510653492.jpg_20222851_a25942c5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Matthew Hoppe (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>An American cracks the list, <strong>Matthew Hoppe</strong> was the subject of a lot of transfer rumors this offseason and the young American kept a cool head. The 20-year-old striker jumps from Schalke 04 and all their issues to Real Mallorca of La Liga for € 3.3 million. Hoppe has a huge upside due to his age, in Germany he was the first American player to ever score a hat-trick in the Bundesliga.</p>
<h2>3. Nuno Mendes – Sporting CP to Paris Saint-Germain, Loan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210901_BUS_175017_nuno_mendes_crop1630510572150.jpg_20222851_c9d39008.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Nuno Mendes (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Nothing is going to stop PSG from making a push for this season’s Champions League and 19-year-old <strong>Nuno Mendes</strong> will be along for the ride. The left back played very well for Sporting CP on their way to the title last season and will be a good helping hand for the long season at PSG. PSG is the place to be right now, and Mendes is in great company.</p>
<h2>2. Saúl Ñíguez – Chelsea, Loan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Saúl Ñíguez " data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Saúl Ñíguez " src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210901_BUS_175017_saul_niguez.jpg_22993414_25f49a4d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Saúl Ñíguez (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Spanish midfielder <strong>Saúl Ñíguez</strong> is just another top player on an already stacked Chelsea side that will look to win the Premier League and defend their Champions League title. Ñíguez is a central midfielder that has good passing ability and will hope to link up well with the Chelsea attack when called upon.</p>
<h2>1. Antoine Griezmann – Atlético Madrid, Loan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210901_BUS_175017_antoine_griezmann_crop1630510246471.jpg_22069893_a9d7c082.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Antoine Griezmann (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Maybe the biggest move on the last day of the transfer window, French World Cup winner <strong>Antoine Griezmann</strong> returns to Atlético Madrid after an up and down stint at Barcelona which saw him score 22 goals in 74 La Liga games. Barcelona needed to clear Griezmann’s salary and once again sent a player to a direct rival, while for the French star it’s a chance to get back to the top of his game.</p>

<p>The transfer deadline is getting close and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a> don’t want to miss out on any opportunities <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-leaves-barcelona-why-is-the-club-in-financial-crisis-20210805-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to raise funds</a>. Club president <strong>Joan Laporta</strong> didn’t face an easy summer but, finally, he mighthave good news. According to <em>El Pais</em>, Barca are <strong>close to securing a combined €41 million</strong> for the departureof two players.</p>
<p>The Catalans would not only be delighted due to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-leaves-how-much-would-barcelona-lose-after-his-departure-20210809-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">much-needed cash</a> they’d bag, but also because we’re talking about <strong>two names that weren’t among <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelonas-lineup-without-messi-how-will-they-play-the-2021-2022-season-20210809-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronald Koeman</a>‘s first choices</strong>.</p>
<p>For different reasons, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/betting/20212022-la-liga-futures-top-5-teams-to-win-the-championship-20210830-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> have found in these two an opportunity of making money and, also,reducing their wage bill. In the strangest of circumstances, <strong>Ilaix Moriba</strong> and <strong>Emerson Royal</strong>are on the verge of being transferred.</p>

<h2>Ilaix Moriba</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>The academy product is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-joins-psg-13-superstars-who-have-left-barcelona-on-bad-terms-20210811-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>leaving the club on bad terms</strong></a> as his camp had high demands for a contract renewal and Barca denied to fulfill them. Ilaix Moriba, 18, is reportedly being transferred to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bundesliga-t111" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bundesliga</strong></a> side <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/rb-leipzig-t143281" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Leipzig</strong></a> for a <strong>€16 million fee which could rise to €23 m withadd-ons</strong>,per <em>El Pais</em>.</p>
<p>The Guinean youngster made his first-team debut under Koeman last season, <strong>but the Dutchman didn’t hesitate to takethe board’s side</strong> in thecontract renewal conflict. Barca would have never wanted one of theirs leaving like this, but <strong>at least they take home a significant amount of cash</strong>.</p>
<h2>Emerson Royal</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>Shockingly, Emerson Royalis about to leave Barcelona despite arriving from <strong>Betis</strong> this season. Even though the Brazilian right-back was looking forward to making an impact at Camp Nou, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/tottenham-t142351" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Tottenham</strong></a> would take him to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Premier League</strong></a> for<strong>€25 million</strong>plus €5 m in add-ons.</p>
<p>Two seasons ago, the Cules acquired Emersonfrom <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atletico-mineiro-t19" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Atletico Mineiro</strong></a> but he went to Real Betis, who split the transfer fee with Barca. This summer, Barcelona signed Emerson from the Sevilla side, but history would be repeating itself as the Catalans <strong>are once again placing him somewhere else</strong>.</p>
