Welcome to 90min’s Saturday transfer live blog, which will keep you up to date with all the latest breaking transfer news, reports and rumours from all across the globe.
Just a few days of the window remain and business is beginning to pick up across the continent, spearheaded by Dusan Vlahovic’s mega money move to Juventus.
Liverpool, Barcelona and Tottenham are also trying to finalise moves before Monday’s transfer deadline, with the international break likely to play a key role in helping deals get over the line.
Follow below as things unfold throughout the day.

08:45 – Ekitike could yet move

08:30 – Arsenal striker update
It’s all going on at the Emirates Stadium in terms of outgoings, with the futures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Eddie Nketiah up in the air.
Barcelona and Juventus are chasing a loan deal for out-of-favour Aubameyang, while 90min understands that Newcastle are pushing to complete a deal for Nketiah – who is out of contract this summer.
One thing’s for sure, Arsenal, who missed out on Dusan Vlahovic, surely can’t afford to lose both without bringing in a replacement…
08:20 – West Ham eye Raphinha
West Ham are one of a number of clubs interested in signing Leeds’ star man Raphinha.
There’s every chance that the Brazilian will sign and new improved contract at Elland Road – talks are already happening – but West Ham are monitoring him in case he’s interested in a move to the capital.
European football would be on offer, as well as a healthy pay rise, and there’s some substantial interest from around the continent too.
? #WHUFC could make a dramatic late move for Leeds winger Raphinha.
Will take a substantial offer for #LUFC to entertain any kind of deal but have learned that West Ham are interested & may test their resolve.
