It’s Saturday and there is plenty of football to watch with the season now in full swing but don’t forget, there are still so many deals to be done.
Here’s Saturday’s transfer rumours.
Kylian Mbappé and Rodrigo top Real Madrid’s wishlist as Los Blancos look to strike a late deal for a new forward player.
The Spanish giants are desperate to replace the goals left by Cristiano Ronaldo‘s exit and it is understood Julen Lopetegui has asked for a new attacker before Friday’s LaLiga transfer window deadline.
Danny Rose continues to be linked with a move away from Tottenham and has been praised by PSG boss Thomas Tuchel who confirmed he is still hoping to bring new players in before the deadline.
Nine teams, including Espanyol and Nantes, are interested in taking Real Madrid teenager Vinícius Júnior, says AS. The Brazilian arrived at the Bernabeu this summer in a €46 million deal.
Premier League new boys Wolves are keen to sign winger Gonçalo Guedes from the French champions but the Portuguese wants to join Valencia where spent time on loan last season.
Rafinha has been left out of the Barcelona squad for the match at Valladolid amid talk of the midfielder joining Real Betis, say Sport.
Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham may end up going out on loan and Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce has confirmed there would be ‘definite interest’ from the club should he be made available.
Barcelona are not considering selling Ivan Rakitić this summer and the midfielder will not be joining PSG, according to the Evening Standard.
Now this one could happen, but the circumstances seem completely fantasy that City are in this situation just two weeks into the new season.
The Premier League champions may make a move for 35-year-old Diego Cavalieri – yes, the former Liverpool and Crystal Palace goalkeeper – as cover for Ederson with Claudio Bravo sidelined long-term.
He failed to make a single Premier League appearance at Anfield or Selhurst Park, he didn’t even get a game for Cesena in Serie A, though could now be Pep Guardiola’s back-up between the sticks. Funny old game.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have given Gary Cahill permission to speak with Galatasaray, according to Turkish publication FotoMac. They may have done, but we don’t see this one happening.
Real Madrid forward Raúl de Tomás joined Rayo Vallecano on loan.
Argentinian defender Nico Pareja, who won three Europa League titles with Sevilla, has left the club at the age of 34.
