Wednesday's Transfer Window as it happened

The chances of Wolfsburg's Diego playing in the Premier League next season look good as he's made it clear his future lies in England.

A flop at Juventus and a strained relationship with Wolfsburg bosses has led to him looking for an alternative club. ston Villa and Liverpool are both reportedly interested.

"At this moment I desperately want to play in England. There are talks with several clubs just starting," the Brazilian said.

"It is way too early to admit my destination. Anyway, it would be perfect to feature in the Premiership in the future.

"I will definitely consider all offers in a careful manner. It is my dream to play in the Premiership. I am looking forward to getting a solution."

Sounds like Barcelona's hotly-tipped midfielder Thiago Alcantara is going nowhere - unless somebody is crazy enough to bid €90m. That's apparently the buy-out clause for the youngster's new four-year contract extension. If both the Sanchez and the Fabregas deals come off, that sounds like one packed midfield that the Catalan club are building.

So, Sunderland have let the money do the talking with £8m up front to take Wickham off Ipswich's hands and that could increase to £12m with add-ons.

A tweet by @joncarterESPN - "Barcelona have extended the contract of Thiago Alcantara to 2015 with a buy-out clause of 90 million euros. Not going anywhere."

Thiago, a promising Barca player, scored a stunning free kick in last weekend's 2-0 victory over Switzerland to clinch the European Under-21 Championship for Spain.

Thiago has been used sparingly by coach Pep Guardiola over the past two seasons but is expected to take on a more prominent role this season.

No fee confirmed on De Gea, but it is believed to be around £17-18 million. He's obviously delighted to be there, but neglected to explain the reason for the big white sheet he was pictured with at the medical.

“I feel very proud and I can’t wait to start playing here,” said De Gea.

“When a club the size of Manchester United comes in for you it obviously makes you very, very happy.

"I saw their interest as an extra motivation to work even harder to show off my ability.

"It’s a great privilege to be part of a club like United and I'm keen to do my best and show what I can do.”

Roberto di Matteo is about to return to Chelsea as Andre Villas-Boas' assistant manager. Good move for all concerned on the surface.
