The transfer window remains open across many of Europe’s top leagues despite the Premier League firmly shut for bringing names in.
That doesn’t mean English clubs are done thinning their squads, with Christian Eriksen linked with a move to La Liga with either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.
While Paul Pogba remain eager to leave, with Juventus one of his preferred destinations, and the Old Lady are trying to push Paulo Dybala out the door – perhaps to Paris Saint-Germain, who are ready to sell Neymar, with Barcelona and Real Madrid ready to make a splash.
The biggest deal left on the table is Neymar.
With PSG ready to cash in on the Brazilian, that leaves Barcelona and Real Madrid, with the former the clear favourite.
The French champions would like a couple players in exchange, as they value the Brazilian at €250m.
Mundo Deportivo believe Barcelona have put Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Rakitic into the deal, while they also claim the French side like Nelson Semedo.
A deal, regardless, appears to be reaching a conclusion.
Welcome to Wednesday’s Independent Transfer News Live where there are still many deals to be done across Europe.
The Premier League clubs will still be picking up their phones concerning potential sales.
While Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and others remain eager to spend before the deadline in their respective leagues.
