The transfer deadline may have passed across Europe's top five leagues, but the summer transfer business is far from over. Despite the window being closed, clubs are already planning for the upcoming January transfer window, with rumors and speculations continuing to swirl.
Crystal Palace's attacking midfielder, Eberechi Eze, has attracted interest from several clubs, with a reported release clause of £60 million that can be activated with an additional £8 million in add-ons. Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United are among the clubs eyeing the 26-year-old England international.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is looking to offload five players, including Ben Chilwell, who has fallen out of favor under new manager Enzo Maresca. The club is also seeking to part ways with forwards David Datro Fofana and Deivid Washington, along with Harvey Vale and Alex Matos.
Former Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has received an offer from Al Nassr, with the Saudi Pro League club reportedly offering €20 million per season to the 29-year-old free agent.
Newcastle United is taking a strategic approach to transfers, refusing to meet inflated demands. The Magpies walked away from negotiations for Crystal Palace's Marc Guéhi after being asked for £70 million for the centre-back.
Ajax's attempt to sign Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has hit a roadblock, with paperwork issues delaying the potential transfer until January.
PAOK is in talks with Kostas Manolas's representatives for a potential free transfer. The 33-year-old center-back, who was linked with AS Roma, is currently a free agent after his contract with Salernitana expired in June.
