possible transfers

As we near the end of the summer transfer window, we can look back at some of football's biggest names making high-profile moves to high-profile clubs - it's been anything but boring thus far.

However, the action is not over yet, as many of the beautiful game's stars are still pondering a move. And, with just hours left to go, Goal.com has arranged a comprehensive list of all of those still capable of making the headlines off the pitch.

First, in alphabetical order, we look at the more likely and well-known names, with an additional section below that includes the lesser publicised transfers.

PROFILE Age 29 Position Striker Nationality Italian TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €8m Other interested clubs Genoa Chance of leaving 90%

PROFILE Age 26 Position Striker Nationality South Korean TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €3m Other interested clubs - Chance of leaving 100%

From the moment that Monaco were consigned to Ligue 2 because of relegation last season, it was inevitable they would lose a hatful of players.

Park has been one of their star men since joining from FC Seoul in 2008 due to his all-round quality in attack. Able to hold the ball up solidly, link play well and even compete surprisingly strongly in the air, the attacker was expected to move to another French club.

Indeed, Lille had started to undertake a medical examination on the striker before finding his hotel room empty the next morning. It transpired that the South Korea captain had hopped on Eurostar to hold talks with Arsenal, whom it is virtually set in stone he will sign with. Understandably, he's already something of a hate figure in the north of France.

 

PROFILE Age 20 Position Defender Nationality Uruguayan TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €8m Other interested clubs Atletico Madrid Chance of leaving 95%

The young defender's departure to Liverpool would make him the latest member of Uruguay's Copa America-winning squad to seek pastures new for 2011-12, and all indications suggest England will be his new destination. Coates was in the crowd on Saturday to watch his potential employers take down Bolton, and could be a star of the future in the middle of defence for the Merseyside giants.

A late bid from Atletico has not swayed Coates' intention to join compatriot and fellow Nacional old-boy Luis Suarez in Anfield, and if minor wranglings over the transfer and a work permit can be arranged he will be swapping the white of the Montevideo club for Liverpool red.

 

PROFILE Age 26 Position Midfield Nationality French TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €10m Other interested clubs AC Milan Chance of leaving 60%

Diarra had looked certain to leave earlier this summer, with a number of sides interested. But the midfielder remains at the Santiago Bernabeu and there have been few concrete offers for his signature.

One came from Tottenham, but the French international claimed last week there was nothing official with the north London outfit, who appear to have turned their attentions to Scott Parker.

With team-mate Fernando Gago’s move to Roma reportedly hitting a stumbling block, the midfielder could well be off to the Serie A side on a year-long loan, although Madrid would rather sell for upwards of €10m.

 

PROFILE Age 26 Position Midfield Nationality Brazilian TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €10m Other interested clubs Galatasaray Chance of leaving 99%

Having been banished to the reserves at Wolfsburg, Diego is desperate to leave the club, and Felix Magath is willing to let him go for the right price.

He has already agreed to terms of a move to Atletico, but an exact transfer fee has yet to be decided. The Spaniards are reportedly willing to pay €7m for his services, but the Wolves are hoping to hold out for €10m.

 

PROFILE Age 24 Position Winger Nationality Dutch TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €9m Other interested clubs Galatasaray Chance of leaving 70%

The Dutch winger has looked bright in isolated spells since moving to Hamburg, but injuries and conflicts with a number of coaches have seen much of his potential deferred. He has failed to maintain a starting role at HSV, who are said to be looking to offload him.

The Italian media are certain that he will be joining Juventus, and suggested this morning that a deal for €9m has basically been done.

 

PROFILE Age 32 Position Striker Nationality Uruguayan TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €5m Other interested clubs - Chance of leaving 100%

Diego Forlan claimed all summer long that he would be staying at Atletico Madrid, but it was clear that those at the Spanish side had other ideas.

The Uruguayan, superb at last summer’s World Cup as Uruguay reached the semi-finals and instrumental as the Celeste claimed the Copa America in July, was linked with teams in Turkey, Tottenham and even Diego Maradona’s Al Wasl.

But with Samuel Eto’o leaving Inter to join big-spending Russians Anzhi, he has been earmarked as a cut-price replacement for the former Barca forward and the move should be completed within hours.

 

PROFILE Age 29 Position Midfield Nationality Brazilian TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee - Other interested clubs Arsenal, Inter, PSG Chance of leaving 50%

Kaka came off the bench to score a fine goal in Real Madrid’s 6-0 win at Zaragoza on Sunday night, but the Brazilian’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu remains uncertain.

Kaka’s time at Real Madrid has been blighted by injuries and a move could suit everyone. The player himself has reiterated his desire to stay and says he wants to be a hit at Madrid, while Jose Mourinho this week claimed he was happy to have the player, but that he would be spending a lot of time on the bench.

AC Milan seem unwilling to pay more than €15m for their former star, and their best chance of capturing the Brazilian may come in a loan now, buy later deal similar to the one they agreed with Barcelona for Zlatan Ibrahimovic last year.

 

PROFILE Age 25 Position Midfield Nationality Croatian TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €40m Other interested clubs Manchester United Chance of leaving 30%

After admitting that Luka Modric had asked not to play against Manchester City on Sunday, Harry Redknapp seems to be fighting the inevitable in keeping the Croatian at White Hart Lane.

Chelsea have already seen bids of €24m, €29m and €32m for the midfielder rejected earlier in the summer and the signing of Juan Mata has reduced their need for creativity in midfield but with Roman Abramovich still keen on the 25-year-old, it is looking increasingly the case of when, and not if he makes his move.

 

PROFILE Age 25 Position Wing-back, Midfield Nationality Uruguayan TRANSFER FILE Transfer fee €30m Other interested clubs - Chance of leaving 80%

Alvaro Pereira played an instrumental role in Andre Villas-Boas' treble-winning squad last season, and the Portuguese coach is determined to reward him with a move to Stamford Bridge.

Equally at home at left-back or on the left side of the midfield, Pereira was left out of Porto's squad for the Uefa Super Cup in a clear sign that he is on his way out.

Porto president Pinto da Costa says he rejected Chelsea's first offer for Pereira in just 30 seconds, but it is believed that an improved bid, which stands closer to the Copa America winner's release clause, is on the way.
