<h3>The transfer window shut gently across much of Europe with a flurry of loan deals instead of the anticipated bang of a mega-move.</h3>
<p>Several big-name players did change clubs on loans, including Mauro Icardi moving to Paris Saint-Germain from Inter Milan and Nikola Kalinic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan going out to Roma from Atletico Madrid and Arsenal.</p>
</div>
<p>The biggest names among the permanent transfer were a pair of Central American veterans: Keylor Navas and Javier Hernandez.</p>
<p>The closure of the window interrupted the saga surrounding of Neymar, the world&#8217;s most expensive player, who will stay at Paris Saint-Germain having failed to get the move back to Barcelona he craved for.</p>
<p>Real Madrid had also been linked with Neymar as well as Manchester United World Cup winner Paul Pogba and Tottenham&#8217;s Christian Eriksen as part of the expensive refurbishment of Zinedine Zidane&#8217;s squad.</p>
<p>Pogba excited some suspicious speculation earlier in the day when he dropped out of France&#8217;s two upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers with an &#8220;ankle problem&#8221;.</p>
<p>Real did do one deal with PSG. It even involved a World Cup winner, but the marquee name was the Madrid club&#8217;s backup goalkeeper.</p>
<p>Navas, a 32-year-old Costa Rican who won the Champions League three times in Madrid, joined PSG with the younger French international Alphonse Areola moving in the opposite direction on loan.</p>
<p>PSG also pulled a late rabbit from their sleeve late with the loan signing of Argentine striker Icardi &#8220;with an option to buy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Icardi was joint top scorer in Serie A in 2017-18, but amid a series of disputes he was stripped of the Inter Milan captaincy last season and barred from full training. He started legal action against the club.</p>
<p>Barcelona were not entirely inactive. They extended the contract of attacking midfielder Rafinha and then loaned him to Celta Vigo, where he also spent the 2013-2014 season.</p>
<p>Even without a deadline-day blockbuster, La Liga clubs spent a record 1.3 billion euros on players including Eden Hazard, Rodri and Ferland Mendy to Real, Antoine Griezmann and Frenkie de Jong to Barca and Joao Felix to Atletico Madrid.</p>
<p>Manchester United sold 29-year-old Italy full-back Matteo Darmian to Parma. The fee was reportedly £1.4 million (1.5 million euros) for an undisclosed fee.</p>
<h4>&#8211; Swapped strikers &#8211;</h4>
<p>Mexican striker Javier Hernandez joined Sevilla from West Ham on a three-year deal. The Spanish club reportedly paid £7.3 million for the 31-year-old &#8216;Chicharito&#8217;.</p>
<p>Turkish giants Fenerbahce signed midfielder Luiz Gustavo, a 32-year-old Brazil international and former Bayern Munich man, from Marseille for 7 million euros.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Jerome Boateng did not want to leave.</p>
<p>The 30-year-old Bayern and Germany centre back had been reportedly on the point of moving to Juventus to replace captain Giorgio Chiellini who has suffered a serious knee injury. Boateng decided to stay in Munich.</p>
<h4>Other Italian clubs shuffled strikers.</h4>
<p>AC Milan swapped players with Eintracht Frankfurt. Croatian forward Ante Rebic moved to Italy on a two-year loan. Portuguese Andre Silva moved the other way.</p>
<p>Roma borrowed two old strikers while loaning out a young one.</p>
<p>They took Kalinic on loan from Atletico Madrid and Mkhitaryan from Arsenal while sending Patrik Schick to RB Leipzig.</p>
<p>Roma said they had an option to buy the 31-year-old Kalinic, a member of the Croatia squad that reached the 2018 World Cup final, for 9 million euros.</p>
<p>Mkhitaryan, a 30-year-old Armenian, made his last appearance for the Gunners as a substitute as they were held at home by Tottenham on Sunday.</p>

</span></div>
<p>Leipzig, who have an option to buy Schick, a 23-year-old Czech international, for 29 million euros, if they qualify for the Champions League again next season.</p>
<p>The Bundesliga club were plugging their own gap. Leipzig said they needed another attacker after loaning Jean-Kevin Augustin to Monaco on Sunday.</p>
</div>
<p>Napoli signed Fernando Llorente on a free transfer. The 34-year old Spanish World Cup winner was a free agent after helping Tottenham to the Champions League final last season.</p>
<p>Galatasaray confirmed the signing of veteran Colombian striker Radamel Falcao from Monaco.</p>
