Bale, Sancho, Thiago: Which summer transfer sagas will get resolved, and which won't?

The summer transfer window has now entered its final three weeks, with all business in Europe's major leagues needing to be completed by Oct. 5, but so far, most top clubs have been cautious with big money moves in the market due to the financial uncertainty created by the coronavirus pandemic.

Chelsea have been an exception, with £72m Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz leading a £220m spending spree at Stamford Bridge. Premier League champions Liverpool have spent just £11.8m on Olympiakos left-back Kostas Tsimikas (having raised £10.9m with the sale of Dejan Lovren to Zenit St Petersburg), while traditional big spenders Manchester City and Manchester United have spent a mere £65m and £35m respectively.
