Transfer window is closing down - jalkapallon siirtoikkuna sulkeutuu - de siste overgangene i overgangsvinduen

The last day of the transfer window in football is about to approach. As the ongoing summer has been a hectic period of upgrading the teams for the rigourous demands of the next season, this list of transfers can't be extensive in here. Instead here are the most persistent or most interesting rumours to be realised during the last day of the transfer window, which is Monday the 1st. These are awaited to happen ... or then not.
