4) Dembele and Strootman to Marseille

Marseille know they have to boost their squad to improve from their last season.

From playing in the Europa League final last season to having a slow start this season, Marseille are looking to boost their squad with the summer transfer window coming to an end.

The Ligue 1 side have been linked with AS Roma's Kevin Strootman and Celtic's Moussa Dembele to strengthen their squad.

Latest reports suggest that Strootman to Marseille practically a done deal. The midfielder will soon to have a medical soon with the French club and is expected to sign a 5-year contract for a fee worth €25m plus bonuses. This news will not go down well with Roma fans as they have already seen Alisson and Radja Nainggolan leave this summer.

And to bolster their attack, the club have sent scouts to watch Dembele play this weekend and are willing to offer £15-20m for the 22-year-old. However, Celtic would not want to lose out on a talented youngster, especially in the final days of the window, with a replacement hard to find.

3) Paco Alcacer to Borussia Dortmund

Alcacer has had a tough life at Barcelona so far

Dortmund have bolstered their squad this summer, but they still lack a goalscorer especially after the sale of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang to Arsenal and Ousmane Dembele to Barcelona. The German club generated quite a fee from these two sales, but still have to find a replacement for them.

Michy Batshuayi joined them in January after Aubamenyang left for Arsenal but Chelsea refused to sell the Belgian striker and he has now joined Valencia on a season-long loan. So now, the club are looking for other options to fill the place.

Last week, they were pondering for a move for Liverpool's Divock Origi but the Jurgen Klopp made it clear that he would not entertain a loan move, and is instead looking for a permanent sale. With no agreement reached between the clubs, Dortmund have turned their attention to Barcelona's Paco Alcacer.

Reports suggest that the Black and Yellows are willing to give the 24-year-old a chance to rejuvenate his career. With Luis Suarez, Dembele and Messi in the squad, Alcacer has been found life difficult at the Camp Nou.

It is believed that Dortmund will pay £2.2m for the loan and will have an option of making the deal permanent for £20-25m at the end of the season.

2) Ademola Lookman to RB Leipzig

Lookman would like to move to Germany

Lookman had a good loan spell at Leipzig during the second half of the season and now wants to move on a permanent basis to get regular playing time. The winger impressed the club, the manager, and the fans and the 20-year-old wants to move to Germany before the transfer window closes.

However, Everton manager Marco Silva also wants to keep the player and with Richarlison picking up a red card in the last game, things got a little more complicated with Silva counting on the winger to step up to the occasion.

The German club have had an offer of £22m turned down but came back quickly with another offer of £25m plus bonuses.

Leipzig manager, Ralf Rangnick also said earlier in the summer: "We want him back and he wants to come."

This deal is surely going to go down the wire and it will be interesting to see if Everton really want to keep a player who has his mind set to play for another club.

1) Mbappe/Neymar to Real Madrid

One of them could join Madrid by the end of this week

This could well be the biggest transfer to happen this summer, provided it goes through. The no. 7 jersey is still vacant at Madrid after Ronaldo moved to Juventus earlier this summer.

Los Blancos have been after Eden Hazard, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar as a replacement for Ronaldo but with Hazard looking less likely with each passing day, the Spanish club are now waiting for UEFA to give their statement regarding PSG's FFP regulation.

UEFA had earlier given a clean slate to the French club but later reopened the investigation. And if the result is not in their favour, the Ligue 1 champions could be forced to offload players as a result, that being just the start of their punishment.

And Madrid are waiting for the result before they make a move for Neymar or Mbappe as their potential galactico signing. Madrid had even earlier issued official statements when rumours emerged that they were close to signing first Mbappe and then Neymar.

It is clear that Florentino Perez does not want to anger the French club and will wait for the final report to come out from UEFA before making a move on either of the players.
