The European transfer window may be closed but clubs will already have an idea of where they will need to strengthen when it reopens in January. Our friends at Football Whispers have scoured the continental media for the latest news and transfer rumours.
Tottenham star Harry Kane is a Real Madrid transfer target and Los Blancos are willing to offer several players to reduce his €200m (£179.2m) price tag.
Ex-Spurs players Gareth Bale and Luka Modric have been mentioned as potential makeweights, as has striker Karim Benzema. The Spanish club hope those players would bring Kane's price down to €40m (£35.9m), but Bale's injury record and Modric's age would reduce their respective values. (Diario Gol)
This news comes alongside further revelations that the Spanish champions are willing to offload Bale next summer. Real will look to recoup the €100m (£89.6m) they paid Tottenham for Bale, and Manchester United could be alerted by his availability. Jose Mourinho has previously stated he would bid for the Welshman if he was ever available. (El Confidencial)
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is an Inter and Juventus transfer target. The French striker is now back-up to Alexandre Lacazette in London and was free to move in the recent transfer window.
However, he decided to stay and fight for his place in the side but hasn't been a regular in the starting XI and may now be willing to move on. The forward would bolster the attacking ranks at both Italian clubs, and would be considered a Mario Mandzukic replacement if he were to join Juventus. (Calciomercato)
Former Chelsea star Oscar is looking to end his stay in the Chinese Super League and a return to Europe could be on the cards. Inter remain interested in the Brazilian, while Juventus and Atletico Madrid are also likely to make offers once the Chinese season ends in November. (Calciomercato)
AC Milan are looking into the option of taking Real Madrid's Dani Ceballos on a six-month loan this January. The Spaniard has struggled for game time since leaving Real Betis for Madrid, and the move could be a good one for all parties. (Tutto Mercato)
Paris Saint-Germain have their eye on Chelsea midfielder N'golo Kante. The Ligue 1 club want to sign the 26-year-old midfielder as the successor to 35-year-old Thiago Motta and are willing to pay €90m (£80.7m). (Le Parisien)
Former Arsenal favourite Robert Pires believes Giroud should be ahead of Kylian Mbappe and Lacazette in the pecking order at international level.
"Deschamps will not change much for the World Cup, and will respect the hierarchy with Giroud before Lacazette," said the former Arsenal man. "With Olivier, he can count on a great pro who will never pose a problem and you can rely on him." (Le Parisien)
Neven Subotic and Erik Durm are set to be transfer listed by Borussia Dortmund after failing to break into the first team squad this season. VFB Stuttgart are interested in right back Durm, while a number of clubs could be looking to bolster their centre-back options with a player of Subotic's ilk. (Sport Bild)
Hamburg will try to secure a new contract for Japanese attacker Tatsuya Ito amid interest from Manchester City and Inter Milan. The 20-year-old's current deal expires at the end of this season. (Sport Bild)
