Newcastle midfielder Mehdi Abeid has joined Greek club Panathinaikos for an undisclosed fee. It follows a successful loan spell for him there two seasons ago.

Jose Mourinho was a little terse when asked whether Chelsea could be in the market for Juevntus star Paul Pogba. Here's what he said: "I can't speak about a Juventus player. I know [Juventus coach Massimiliano] Allegri was speaking about Oscar and Ramires all summer, but I don't do that."

Fulham midfielder Thomas Eisfield is leaving London to make his loan move to German side Bochum a permanent one.

Neymar considers Man United move
The only thing more spectacular than Manchester United's reported interest in Neymar is the news that the Barcelona forward might actually be considering a move to Old Trafford.

The Guardian reports that the 23-year-old would seriously contemplate leaving the Camp Nou for Louis van Gaal's side, and "is attracted by the size and history of United and the chance to play in the Premier League."

Today is supposed to be the day when the Kevin De Bruyne saga comes to an end and he joins Manchester City but, as with any good interminable saga, it's proving to be interminable. German tabloid Bild reports that the Wolfsburg midfielder wants to join Bayern Munich instead -- which we've heard before -- and that his representatives contacted the Bundesliga champions last week. Kicker reports a similar tale, although it says Bayern made the contact. The trouble there is that Bayern have said they won't sign him this summer, so this would have to happen in a year's time.

Paris Saint-Germain are still looking for replacements for Lucas Digne, who still looks likely to join Roma, and Real Madrid's Fabio Coentrao is emerging as the most likely option.

Saturday's Transfer Talk concerned John Terry's fate at Chelsea if Jose Mourinho went ahead and benched his captain for Sunday's trip to West Brom -- and while Terry survived the chop, he probably wished he hadn't.

The 34-year-old was caught out for the second time in three games -- a defensive lapse led to Thibaut Courtois' red card against Swansea -- and Terry received his marching orders this time for tugging back Salomon Rondon at The Hawthorns.

Chelsea survived to win 3-2, but the Mirror reports that Mourinho will now step up his pursuit of Everton starlet John Stones in order to shore up a defence that has shipped a remarkable seven goals in three games.

Juventus' general manager Beppe Marotta has confirmed that Juan Cuadrado will be arriving on a season-long loan from Stamford Bridge on Monday.

Milan's general manager Adriano Galliani has confirmed that the club are on the brink of bringing Balotelli back to Serie A on a season-long loan deal from Liverpool, though he added: "Certain loves come back, but we're going to have to wait a while yet before we can sing that about Balotelli." The details still need to be ironed out, but the 25-year-old striker looks odds-on for a return to Italy before the summer is out.

Arsenal are monitoring Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Lars Bender, if The Independent are to be believed. Gunners scouts are said to have watched him last week and he would cost the club around £18 million.

The Evening Standard says both Tottenham and Liverpool are eyeing a move for Asier Illarramendi, with the midfielder reportedly having been told by Real Madrid that he is surplus to requirements at the club.

Everton are looking to bring in Manchester United's Adnan Januzaj on a season-long loan deal, the Liverpool Echo reports. The Toffees, however, may face competition from West Ham, according to talkSPORT, with the Hammers also hoping to complete a similar deal for the forward.

Tottenham remain interested in Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama, according to the Daily Mail, but the Saints have so far rebuffed their enquiries. Southampton are reluctant to sell with a only week remaining in the transfer window to find a suitable replacement.

Kicker carries an outlandish rumour that new Borussia Dortmund signing Gonzalo Castro could be on his way back to Bayer Leverkusen for the €11 million that BVB paid for the midfielder just a couple of months ago.

Hoffenheim are set to sign Eduardo Vargas from Napoli, kicker reports. The 25-year-old Chile international will be brought in to replace Roberto Firmino, who joined Liverpool earlier this summer. The deal is said to be worth €6 million, and Vargas has already passed his medical.

Celtic have denied that Southampton have agreed a £10 million deal for Virgil van Dijk and said the defender would play Tuesday's Champions League clash with Malmo. A spokesperson told Press Association Sport: "The story is absolute nonsense and Virgil will play on Tuesday. We have no agreement with any club."

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli is currently undergoing a medical ahead of a season-long loan move to AC Milan with a view of making it permanent.

Having seen Karim Benzema hit out at the "clowns" making claims about his potential exit from Real Madrid, the British media have swiftly linked Arsenal with another high-profile target in Edinson Cavani.

The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal are exploring a "shock swoop" for the Paris Saint-Germain striker, with Arsene Wenger "desperate" to add to his front line after the second successive blank at home on Monday night against Liverpool.

The Mirror says Arsenal are on "red alert" concerning a late move for Cavani, it remains to be seen whether the French champions or the 28-year-old Uruguay international would even consider a deal. Still, at least the Benzema rumours have been put to bed.

The Neymar saga continues to gather pace like a runaway train laden with gold, with Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte reporting that Manchester United have made a massive £140m (€190m) bid to match the Barcelona forward's buyout clause. Spanish clubs are under no obligation to sell a player if the buyout clause is met; a regular transfer is preferable for all parties in terms of tax contributions and legal obligations.

While Barca are understandably reluctant to sell the young, photogenic, free-scoring, money-making captain of Brazil, The Sun reports that United will press on in a deal that could be worth up to £240m. It's highly improbable, but the Red Devils are just the right blend of rich and crazy these days to make it happen.

Not content with signing Pedro from Barcelona in a cut-price deal earlier this week, Chelsea will, according to the Daily Express, test Juventus' resolve and make a British-record bid of up to £72 million for Paul Pogba. The paper says that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is unwilling to go above £60m for the 22-year-old midfielder after an initial £55m bid was rejected, but Jose Mourinho is "so keen" on Pogba that the Portuguese coach will have his way.

Chelsea's Marko Marin is set to sign for Turkish side Trabzonspor, the club's sporting director has confirmed. He will have a medical today after failing to impress on loan at Sevilla, Fiorentina, and Anderlecht.

Sport1 claims that Manchester United might hijack the Kevin De Bruyne-to-Man City deal. Basically, someone has to offer Wolfsburg £50 million and he'll move. Someone, anyone, just do it!

Former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise will link up with fellow left full-back Roberto Carlos at the Delhi Dynamos for the second season of the Indian Super League (ISL).

Asier Illarramendi has had enough of playing for Real Madrid and now looks set to go back to Real Sociedad for €15 million, say AS. That would be €23m less than Madrid paid for him two summers ago. Current Sociedad midfielder Markel Bergara said: "I hope it finally comes true, I consider him a friend, and I hope he comes, because those who were La Real fans as kids will give everything for this jersey. Of course we have been sending him messages, there are always jokes and teasing, because we are friends. I hope he is here with us soon."

Lucas Digne is expected to complete his loan move to Roma from Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, according to Foot365. The deal will see the Italians pay €1.5 million to borrow the left-back, with a purchase option of €16.5 million also included.

Petr Jiracek leaves Hamburg for Sparta Prague on a four-year deal.

Inter Milan are keeping tabs on Tottenham midfielder Erik Lamela, according to the Evening Standard. The newspaper reports that Inter will turn to the Argentina international should they fail to land either Ivan Perisic of Wolfsburg or Paris Saint-Germain's Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Arsene Wenger may have played down talk of signing a new defensive midfielder after his side's draw with Liverpool yesterday, but that hasn't stopped The Independent from claiming that Arsenal are lining up a bid for Grzegorz Krychowiak. The newspaper reports they are ready to activate the Sevilla player's release clause, which stands at £21.2 million.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has also seemed to suggest that he may not bring in a new striker before the close of the transfer window. "I'm not especially worried because I know we can score goals," Wenger told the club's official website. mad man
