Diakhaby, Racic, Kondogbia, Wass, Piccini... and Gameiro

If all goes to plan, Gameiro will become Valencia's sixth reinforcement of the summer. El Cholo has delayed his departure until Atlético secure a replacement. Part of the delay has been because AC Milan have pulled the plug on Nikola Kalinic's proposed move to Atlético, which has forced the Rijiblancos to turn their attentions to Olivier Giroud.
