It's a lot later than usual, but transfer deadline day is finally here across Europe's top leagues.
Oct. 5 has been circled on the calendar for some time as the temporary day for the window to close in this most abnormal of years. The window has already seen plenty of stars change addresses–and the biggest one of them all, Lionel Messi, stay put despite wishes for the contrary–but there's still time for another bombshell or two to transpire and set the stage for the rest of the 2020-21 seasons.
The biggest names reported to still be in the shop window (even despite some clubs' claims to the contrary) as time ticks down include Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund); Ousmane Dembele and Jean Clair Todibo (Barcelona); Memphis Depay and Houssem Aouar (Lyon); Eric Garcia (Manchester City); Thomas Partey (Atletico Madrid); Lucas Torreira (Arsenal); Alex Telles (Porto); Douglas Costa (Juventus); Federico Chiesa (Fiorentina); Milan Skriniar (Inter Milan); Amad Traore (Atalanta); Declan Rice (West Ham); Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko (Chelsea); Theo Walcott (Everton); Gerard Deulofeu (Watford); and Luka Jovic (Real Madrid).
