The transfer window may have shut in England but for clubs in France, Germany, Italy and Spain the drama is only just getting started.

A number of Europe’s biggest clubs still have plenty of business left to conclude. Juventus are looking to offload Paulo Dybala while the future of Neymar – the most expensive player in the history of the game – is still up in the air. Could he yet leave PSG for a return to Spain?

English clubs can still sell players so expect plenty of movement before the end of the month.

Transfer deadlines

Italy’s Serie A is the next big transfer deadline. The Italian window shuts on 23 August.

The transfer window in La Liga, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 meanwhile shuts on 2 September.

Asked about Rebic, Hutter replied: "It's always an individual situation for each player.

"If someone has the opportunity to go to a top club, it will be difficult to keep him at the club."

Paul Pogba says there is still a "question mark" over his Manchester United future following his team's resounding 4-0 victory over Chelsea.

The France international wants to leave the club during the close season and was linked with a potential move to Real Madrid or Juventus.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised Pogba's professionalism after he set up United's third and fourth goals, but the midfielder said "only time will tell" if he would stay in England.

"I always feel good when I play football. I do the things I like, plus it's my job. I give my all every time I go out on the pitch," Pogba told French radio station RMC.

"I'm aware that things have been said. Only time will tell. There's always that question mark.

"I'm at Manchester. I have fun with my team mates. I always want to win matches and I always give my best when I'm on the pitch."
