Relive Friday's updates as the European transfer window nears its deadline – although the end of the Premier League window isn't stopping Manchester United from adding to their squad.
United are reportedly on the verge of concluding a deal with the out-of-contract striker Fernando Llorente, who was released by Tottenham this summer. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been looking for a leading striker to fill a hole in his squad after the departure of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan.
Meanwhile Real Madrid officials are said to be in Paris to negotiate a fee with PSG for wantaway forward Neymar. Follow all the latest news, rumours and done deals below:

Fernando Llorente is without a club, having been released by Tottenham this summer, and the 34-year-old is therefore free to sign with the Old Trafford club. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to sign a new striker to help fill the void left by Romelu Lukaku's departure, and Llorente certainly would offer something different to Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
