LONDON, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Following is a brief look at possible transfers in Europe's top leagues before the transfer window closes on Friday:
ENGLAND
England international forwards Jermain Defoe and Shaun Wright-Phillips could swap clubs while Nicolas Anelka could leave Bolton Wanderers for either Manchester United or Manchester City.
Defoe has yet to commit himself to a new deal at Tottenham Hotspur while Wright-Phillips has failed to fully establish himself at Chelsea since moving there from Manchester City two years ago.
Manchester United could move for Frenchman Anelka to ease their striking problems, while City would be keen to boost their vibrant new squad.
Chelsea's interest in Barcelona's Brazilian Ronaldinho was still being widely reported even though Barcelona president Joan Laporta says he will not be leaving the Nou Camp.
ITALY
Brazilian striker Adriano has been frozen out at champions Inter Milan but is refusing to go out on loan and has demanded a permanent move.
Inter would rather he went on loan and have had enquiries from Lazio, Parma and West Ham United.
The future of Adriano affects fellow Inter reserve striker Alvaro Recoba, with the club saying he can only leave for Torino if Adriano stays.
Lazio's long quest for a goalkeeper following Angelo Peruzzi's retirement last season could also go to the wire. They have been forced to play 43-year-old coach Marco Ballotta so far after Juan Pablo Carrizo's move from River Plate stalled over Italian citizenship.
Little transfer deadline action is expected at AC Milan, Juventus or AS Roma.
SPAIN
The future of Sevilla's Brazilian right back Daniel Alves remains the leading Spanish transfer saga yet to be concluded.
The 24-year-old did not play in his team's opening league match against Getafe on Saturday and did not travel with the team to Greece for their Champions League qualifier against AEK Athens which was postponed after the death of Antonio Puerta.
Both Chelsea and Real Madrid are still reported to be interested in the wingback, but Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido has said he will not sell the player for less than 36 million euros ($48.94 million).
Most leading clubs have completed the major activity on the transfer market, but high-profile players such as Villarreal's Juan Roman Riquelme, Valencia's Asier del Horno, Atletico's Peter Luccin and Real Madrid's Julio Baptista are all tipped to be involved in last-minute deals.
There has been speculation about the possible departure of Ronaldinho and Deco from Barcelona. Neither player is likely to depart, but Iceland striker Eidur Gudjohnsen could leave given the prospect of a season on the bench at the Nou Camp.
FRANCE
Olympique Lyon are still hoping to persuade AS Roma to let them have Brazilian midfielder Mancini, although the Italians have said he was not for sale.
Lille have made an offer for Brazilian striker Julio Baptista, who has returned to Real Madrid after one season on loan at Arsenal but plays no part in new Real coach Bernd Schuster's plans.
Paris St Germain have made several offers to promoted Caen in an effort to sign France Under-21 striker Yoan Gouffran and still hope to sign him before the transfer window closes.
PSG coach Paul Le Guen said on Tuesday Pauleta had told him he would stay after all. The former Portugal striker had said a few weeks ago he might leave because he was not playing enough.
Brazilian striker Grafite looks likely to stay at Le Mans after the westerners turned down an offer from Borussia Dortmund.
GERMANY
There are no big deals likely in Germany, unless one or two of the wilder rumours turn out to be true.
Rafael van der Vaart has accepted that his dream move to Valencia is not going to happen, meaning the Dutch international playmaker will stay on at Hamburg SV for the moment.
Former Russian international Dmitry Bulykin joined Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer this week and there are likely to be similar low-profile deals concluded before the deadline.
