Itâs Tuesday and two more leagues in Europe are set to get underway this week.
But before they do, hereâs the latest transfer gossip.
Lionel Messi is desperate not to see Neymar join Real Madrid.
According to Marca, the Argentine has spoken with his close friend and ex-Barcelona team-mate to convince him not to move to the Bernabéu.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are linked with the Brazilian, with Paris Saint-Germain open to a sale.
Isco and James RodrĂguez could leave Madrid with Neymar being linked, Gazzetta dello Sport report.
The Italian daily says either of the players may be targeted by Milan who, in turn, could sell goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to PSG once a Neymar exit goes through.
Meanwhile at Inter, Ivan Perisic has all but completed a switch to Bayern Munich.
âHe [Ivan Perisic] was at the medical check today,â Bayern head coach Niko Kovac confirmed on Monday.
âAnd if all this goes well and the last papers are sent back and forth [with Inter], then he will become one of our players.â
According to reports in Spain, Bayern Munich are interested in a two-year loan deal for Philippe Coutinho.
But reports in Germany, specifically SportBILD reporter Christian Falk, say thatâs nonsense and the player has only been offered to the club.
Whoâs telling the truth?
The race to compete with Paris-Saint Germain is on in France.
Lyon are closing in on a âŹ20m deal to sign Angers midfielder Jeff Reine-AdĂ©laĂŻde to bolster their squad, LâĂquipe claim.
They also say Monaco have triggered Wissam Ben Yedderâs âŹ40m release clause at Sevilla.
Could either club really have a say in the Ligue 1 title race?
Orel Mangala left Manchester City for Valencia.
Monaco paid a reported £12m to sign Henry Onyekuru from Everton.
