Latest transfers

Still waiting, still waiting... The big moves expected for last week have still not come off, and the main news in the last seven days has been about players who will be leaving our shores (Jeffren, Milito, Arizmendi, Kalu Uche etc). Barcelona are gradually upping their bid for Fàbregas, and Cesc himself is prepared to renounce part of his salary to make the move. No deal agreed as yet though, and with Thiago forcing his way in to Guardiola's plans, will it ever happen? The same could be said of Neymar, who is now likely to stay with Santos at least until the World Club Championship in December. Mourinho still wants an extra forward, but after Morata finished the tournament's top scorer in Spain's under 19 European Championship win, maybe his answer as well is closer to home? Another three weeks to go though until the transfer window closes, and clubs are likely to wait until the league season starts before deciding if their squads are strong enough. (07.08.11)
