There are just ten days left in the 2015 summer transfer window and clubs are looking for all means to improve their playing squad or even technically weaken their rivals.
While we have seen moves for the likes of Pedro Rodriguez (Barcelona to Chelsea), Baba Rahman (Augsburg to Chelsea) and Nicolas Otamendi (Valencia to Manchester City), clubs like Arsenal, West Ham, Juventus are still building.

According to media reports, West Ham have made an inquiry about the Super Eagles attacker for a loan deal with a view to a £6million permanent deal.
Another Chelsea attacker, Marko Marin will be moving to Trabzonspur of Turkey after failing to establish himself in the team since moving to the English club from Werder Bremen in 2012.

According to Goal.com, Trabzonspor sporting director Suleyman Hurma told Lig TV: “He will arrive in Trabzon tonight [Monday] and undergo a medical tomorrow before completing his transfer.”
Meanwhile in Italy, Juventus have confirmed the signature of former Machester United and Arsenal target, Alex Sandro for €26 million on a five-year contract. The left-back has said that current Juve left-back, Patrice Evra is his idol.

The club has also confirmed that Juan Cuadrado will be joining from Chelsea.
Still in Italy, Mario Balotelli has been confirmed to be returning to AC Milan on a season-long loan deal from Liverpool. Balotelli scored 30 goals in 54 appearances in all competitions during his first stint with Milan.
Balotelli managed just one Premier League goal in 16 appearances for Liverpool last season and has found playing time hard to come by this season due to the summer arrival of Christian Benteke from Aston Villa.

In Spain, two of the biggest attackers in the league, Karim Benzema and Neymar Jnr have refused moves to Arsenal and Manchester United respectively.
Benzema has dismissed speculation he could leave Real Madrid for Arsenal by insisting the Santiago Bernabeu is his home. He tweeted: “For all those clowns who want to make believe things at my fans. Here this is my home !#HalaMadridYNadaMas.”

Meanwhile, Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has said the club sees Neymar finishing his career at the Catalan club which all but ends any speculation over his future.
It has been widely reported that Manchester have bid close to $200m for the Brazilian who would be keen to discuss with the english club but Barcelona’s president sees the 23 year old at the club for the next 10 years.

Bartomeu told Club Mitjanit on Radio Catalunya: “We do not want Neymar to leave. He is young and we want him to retire here at our club. “We will discuss Neymar’s renewal in some months’ time as he must stay here – not only for the next three seasons, but for the next five or 10.”
