July has become August and the transfer market is heating up, especially with the early deadline day in
the Premier League.
Europe's biggest clubs are trying to act as quickly as possible and to get their business done before it's too late.
Here, we take a look at who the giants of the continent want to sign in the remaining time before the window closes.
Real Madrid
Already Los Blancos have brought in
Vinicius Junior,
Andriy Lunin and
Alvaro Odriozola, but
Cristiano Ronaldo's exit means that they could yet add another centre-forward.
Harry Kane,
Mauro Icardi and
Robert Lewandowski have all been mentioned as possible options for Los Blancos, but it remains to be seen if any of these three players will actually be on the move.
Real Madrid are also searching for another goalkeeper and
Thibaut Courtois has been linked with a move, while his Chelsea teammate
Eden Hazard is another player who has featured on their wish list.
Barcelona
Ernesto Valverde has said during
Barcelona's summer tour that he'd like another midfielder, given the departures of
Andres Iniesta and
Paulinho.
Arthur and
Malcom have already joined, in addition to centre-back
Clement Lenglet, but it seems the Blaugrana would like one more man to put in the middle, with
Willian,
Adrien Rabiot and
Paul Pogba all having been linked with a move to
the Camp Nou.
Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone has already seen
Atletico Madrid buy
Thomas Lemar,
Gelson Martins,
Rodri and
Santiago Arias, but another reinforcement could be on the way.
With
Luciano Vietto and
Kevin Gameiro both rumoured to be on their way out of the Spanish capital, another No.9 could be signed.
Manchester City
The English champions aren't expected to return to the market before the deadline, having already signed
Riyad Mahrez and
Philippe Sandler.
Their business appears to be done, unless a unique opportunity comes up or unless they lose a player and need to replace.
Chelsea
Jorginho has arrived at
Stamford Bridge, where the transfer market focus is on the futures of
Willian,
Eden Hazard and
Thibaut Courtois, who could leave and, therefore, need replaced.
Manchester United
Jose Mourinho wants more signings to join
Fred and
Diogo Dalot on the way into
Old Trafford this summer.
The directors are continuing to work on improving the squad, with
Yerry Minathe latest name to have been listed as a serious target.
Juventus
Cristiano Ronaldo has joined
Juventus, but they've lost
Gonzalo Higuain this summer and might now be a little short in attack.
Another area of major change has been in goals, where
Gianluigi Buffon has left and where
Wojciech Szczcsny and
Mattia Perin will now carry the baton.
Paris Saint-Germain
The major signing for
PSG this summer has been keeping Neymar.
.
Should the French champions lose either
Rabiot or
Goncalo Guedes then they might consider turning to the market to try to bring in a replacement.
Bayern Munich
It has been a quiet transfer market in Bavaria, with
Bayern Munich's only two arrivals being midfielder
Leon Goretzka and new coach
Niko Kovac.
However, the potential departures of
Thiago or
James could force them to delve into the market late on.
