The Premier League window might be shut, but in the remainder of Europe’s big leagues are many big deals waiting to happen
GettyMario Balotelli to Marseille
Having seemingly gotten his career back on track at Nice, Mario Balotelli has tarnished his reputation once again due to a falling out with new head coach Patrick Vieira.
The forward has been prolific in Ligue 1 over the course of the last two seasons and may yet remain in France, with Marseille still apparently the likeliest destination for the ex-Liverpool man. A switch back to Italy is the other main contender, with Parma the latest side interested.

It seems that for the duration of the summer Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng has been linked with a move. Manchester United might have been the first link, but the strongest and most persistent has been Paris Saint-Germain.
If Thomas Tuchel intends to play with a three-man defence at the Parc des Princes, he needs at least one reinforcement, and the 29-year-old appears a strong option. However, the signs are that he will remain at Bayern.

It has been six years since Yacine Brahimi last played in Ligue 1, having had spells at Granada and Porto, but the Algeria international could be about to return.
Monaco are hunting for the 28-year-old, who might have moved to West Ham earlier in the summer but failed to agree personal terms with the London side. Monaco need a replacement for Keita Balde, who has gone to Inter, and he is the leading candidate.

Relegated with Stoke last season, 33-year-old US veteran Geoff Cameron is set for a swift return to top-flight football as Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.
He has not played for the Potters in their opening two matches this season, although he has had personal difficulties, but has made 186 appearances for them overall since signing in 2012, scoring a couple of Premier League goals in the process.
