Deadline Day is getting ever closer. Which means: the transfer carousel is really gathering pace once again. The most important news and rumours of the day at a glance.
The leadership crisis at Eintracht Frankfurt is apparently coming to a dramatic head: according to a report by Bild, sporting director Markus Krösche faces dismissal after the end of the transfer window.
Chelsea striker Marc Guiu is closing in on a permanent transfer to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig after being excluded from Xabi Alonso's squad. The 20-year-old forward is expected to leave Stamford Bridge following a frustrating campaign hampered by limited league minutes.
Reigning champions Bayern Munich initiated their Bundesliga title defence with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. Vincent Kompany's rampant side swiftly recovered from a momentary second-half equaliser, scoring four unanswered goals to extend their remarkable run of avoiding defeat in opening league matches since 2011.
A day before the Bundesliga opener against Union Berlin on Saturday, Eintracht Frankfurt are apparently set for another flurry of activity on the transfer market.
