We've entered the final week of the transfer window but there are some massive moves still to be done before the deadline.
Final-week transfer drama: Alvarez pushes Barca exit, PSG demand £145m for Barcola, Man City target Enzo, Spurs battle for GakpoJulian AlvarezOne of the sagas of the summer,Julian Alvarez's future at Atletico Madrid appears untenable after the weekend's events.
Whistled and jeered on his return for Atletico against Villarreal, the Argentina had toy rats, scarfs, and shirts hurled in his direction as he headed down the tunnel at full-time.
Alvarez has made clear his wish to leave Atletico Madrid forBarcelona, but Diego Simeone's side have no intention of selling to their La Liga rivals. Arsenal are waiting in the wings with a potential British record bid, if Alvarez indicates he's prepared to return to England to escape his Atleti unrest.
Bradley BarcolaParis Saint-Germain expect Bradley Barcola to leave before the transfer deadline but have remained firm in their valuation of the winger. The European champions want £145m for Barcola, a record-breaking fee Liverpool have so far been reluctant to match.
Barcola has given his green-light to aPremier League transfer as he seeks a more prominent role, having competed with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue for minutes in Paris. A compromise on valuation is expected to be found before the deadline.
Enzo FernandezManchester City are preparing to launch a bid for Enzo Fernandez in the coming days, as the Cityzens seek a marquee midfielder to replace Rodri.
Chelsea had agreed to let Fernandez leave should a side meet their £120m asking price earlier in the window, but the deadline the Blues set has since passed.
City, however, remain eager to strike a deal to boost their depleted options. It would represent another club-record fee for City, whobroke their transfer record for Elliot Anderson earlier in the summer.
Cody GakpoCody Gakpo is at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war withTottenham Hotspur pushing to sign the Liverpool winger. Manchester City are also interested in Gakpo but are yet to make a direct approach.
Liverpool are content to keep Gakpo, but will sanction his sale if a big bid arrives. With the Reds focused on a deal for the aforementioned Bradley Barcola, Gakpo could be a casualty of that pursuit.
