European leagues deadline day deals

A round-up of some of the transfers to go through on Monday, the last day of the summer window on the European continent:

– French Ligue 1 club Rennes have signed teenage French forward

Jeremie Boga, 18, on a season-long loan from English champions Chelsea

and have agreed a similar deal for Colombian international playmaker

Juan Fernando Quintero. The 22-year-old arrives from FC Porto of

Portugal and reports in western France say Rennes have an option to make

the move permanent for 20 million euros (£14.6m, $22.4m) next summer.

Rennes are also still hoping to bring France international playmaker

Yoann Gourcuff, a free agent after leaving Lyon, back to the club for a

second spell. (AFP)

– Cristian Zaccardo, who was in the Italy squad that triumphed at the

2006 World Cup, has left AC Milan to join newly-promoted Serie A side

Carpi. The 33-year-old, capped 17 times, has agreed a two-year deal.

(AFP)

– Serie A side Genoa have made two new loan signings, bringing in

Argentine international defender Cristian Ansaldi from Zenit St

Petersburg and Swiss international midfielder Blerim Dzemaili from

Galatasaray. (AFP)

– Former Italian international midfielder Emmanuele Giaccherini has

returned to Italy on loan to Bologna from English Premier League side

Sunderland. The 30-year-old — who has been with Sunderland for two

seasons — won two Serie A titles with Juventus and was a member of the

Italy side that reached the Euro 2012 final where they lost to Spain.

Bologna are pointless in Serie A after two games of the present

campaign. (AFP)

– Experienced Polish international Jakub Blaszczykowski has gone on

loan to Serie A side Fiorentina from Bundesliga giants Borussia

Dortmund. The 29-year-old Polish national captain has been at Dortmund

the past six seasons and was a key member of the side that collected two

league titles, a German Cup and reached the Champions League final in

2013. (AFP)

– Bosnian international midfielder Sanjin Prcic has gone on loan to

Serie A side Torino from Ligue 1 outfit Rennes. The 22-year-old, capped

four times, will go on a season-long loan initially with Torino having

the option to buy him at the end of that period. (AFP)

– Highly-regarded Moroccan international forward Hachim Mastour has

gone on loan to Spanish outfit Malaga for two seasons from Serie A side

AC Milan. The 17-year-old was born in Italy and, although he has

represented the country of his birth at youth level, he opted this year

to play for the senior Moroccan side and made his debut for them in

June. (AFP)  

– Spanish side Real Betis welcomed back former Spanish international

forward Joaquin, who began his career with the Seville-based club, after

a spell with Serie A outfit Fiorentina. The 34-year-old — capped 51

times — left Betis nine years ago for Valencia, with whom he spent five

years before a two year stretch with Malaga. Betis also announced they

were taking on loan misfiring Dutch striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel on

loan from English Premier League side Norwich City — he spent last term

on loan at French Ligue 1 outfit St Etienne. (AFP)    

– Ligue 1 side Montpellier have moved to end their alarming goal

drought — they have not scored a goal in their four league matches so

far this season — by a double signing of experienced Malian

international Mustapha Yatabare and young Chad international Casimir

Ninga. Yatabare, 29 and a member of the Mali side that reached the 2012

Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals, joins on loan from Turkish outfit

Trabzonspor with Ninga arriving from Gabonese outfit Mangasport Moanda.

(AFP)

– Lyon insist they have sold Burkina Faso defender Bakary Kone to

English second-tier side Fulham for two million euros. However, Lyon

president Jean-Michel Aulas claimed on Monday that Fulham had pulled out

of the deal, stating Kone needed to pass extra medical tests which had

not been done before he departed on international duty. Lyon have also

allowed forward Yassine Benzia to leave for Lille on a four-year deal.

The runners-up to PSG last season added another name to their roster in

teenage French midfielder Olivier Kemen, paying Newcastle United 750,000

euros for the 18-year-old, the France Under-19 captain never played a

game for the English side since joining from Metz in 2013. (AFP)

– Young Brazilian defender Matheus Doria’s hopes of one day getting

some game time with Ligue 1 outfit Marseille look doomed for another

season as he has been loaned out to Spanish side Granada. The

20-year-old was out in the cold last term because then coach Marcelo

Bielsa hadn’t been responsible for his purchase and he was sent on loan

to Brazilian side Sao Paulo. However, despite Bielsa’s resignation after

just one league game this campaign, 20-year-old Doria hasn’t had much

better luck with new coach Michel. (AFP)

– Nigerian international striker Brown Ideye signed for Greek

champions Olympiakos ending an unhappy spell at English Premier League

outfit West Bromwich Albion, for whom he was their record signing. The

26-year-old — capped 25 times but who failed to make the squad for last

year’s World Cup finals — scored just seven times in 31 appearances

for the English side after joining them for £10 million pounds last

year. Olympiakos have also taken Portuguese forward Hernani on loan from

Porto. The 24-year-old has scored twice in eight matches this season

for Porto — he only joined them from Vitoria Guimaraes in the summer.
