- Barcelona have completed the signing of Netherlands goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, clearing the way for Claudio Bravo to finalize his move to Manchester City. Cillessen signed a five-year contract and will be the number one choice for Luis Enrique this season. The news follows Bravo’s successful move to Manchester City, who signed a 4-year contract with the Citizens.

- Atletico Madrid have loaned Spanish midfielder Oliver Torres to FC Porto for a season-and-a-half, both clubs confirmed on Thursday. The 21-year-old returns to the Dragoes where he started in 28 games while on loan from Atletico in the 2014-15 campaign. The 22-year-old was loaned to Villarreal in the 2013-14 campaign.

- Valencia are close to agreement on the £5million signing of Sidnei from Deportivo La Coruna. This could have a direct bearing on Arsenal’s move for Shkodran Mustafi. Arsenal have yet to match the La Liga club's valuation of Mustafi, whose fellow Mestalla Stadium centre-half, Aymen Abdennour is linked with a move to Everton.
