Manchester United are set to be among the main players as the transfer window reaches its penultimate day.
Ruben Amorim has less than 48 hours to see any further changes to his team and there remains work to be done for United's negotiators. Marcus Rashford is said to have already said his goodbyes to team-mates, while a deal is still to be announced for Patrick Dorgu.
It could be the future of Mathys Tel that could yet stretch into deadline day. Bayern director Christoph Freund suggested the winger could yet stay at the club despite his desire for more first team football.
Can the Red Devils prove persuasive and make the deals they require? Mirror Football takes a look at all the news and transfer rumours at Old Trafford.
Man Utd complete signing
The weekend has already seen one deal completed as United secured the signing of Ayden Heaven from Arsenal.
The 18-year-old has signed a deal with the Red Devils until June 2029, with the option for an additional year. The youngster is already being touted for a place in Ruben Amorim's first-team squad.
The pathway United have offered is said to have proven decisive in persuading the player to join.

Jason Wilcox, Manchester United technical director, said: “We are delighted that Ayden has joined Manchester United. He is already an extremely talented defender who is ready to join our first-team squad in order to maximise his development.
“This club has a phenomenal track record of supporting young players and we believe that Ayden is in the perfect place to reach his excellent potential.”
Marcus Rashford breakthrough
A deal for Marcus Rashford is expected to be completed on Sunday, after Aston Villa and Manchester United came to terms over a move, which sees the Midlands side given the option to sign the forward permanently in the summer.
Villa expected Rashford to complete the paperwork on Saturday ahead of his move after talks were accelerated following Jhon Duran's move joined Saudi side Al-Nassr for £77.5m. It's not all been plain sailing however, with briefings from both clubs clarifying little over the terms of the deal, with Rashford's salary being split between the pair.
The official line from the sellers is that Villa are paying the majority of his £315,000-a-week wage. Unai Emery's side insist that is not the case however and that they are certainly not paying in that region.
Patrick Dorgu deal done
An announcement has yet to be made for the signing of Patrick Dorgu, but the defender has signed a five-year deal, per reports.
Dorgu is expected to join the Premier League side from Lecce for an initial €30million (£25.15m) plus €5m (£4.19m) in add-ons. The full-back should offer greater balance for Amorim in defence.
The 20-year-old is said to have flown to Manchester on Saturday and completed his medical on Saturday afternoon ahead of putting pen to paper.
