Some bigger moves this week, with Germany's World Cup star Khedira finally confirming that he will be joining Mourinho at the Bernabeu. Atlético Madrid have signed on Villarreal's Godín after long negotiations, and Villarreal moved quickly to fill the gap with Valencia's Marchena. Meanwhile Espanyol's Tamudo has found himself a new home in San Sebastian with Real Sociedad, and Barcelona's Márquez has opted to take up the offer from Thierry Henry's New York Red Bulls rather than stay in Europe (reported rather prematurely last week!). Clubs still have over a month to go though to complete their squads, so keep an eye on our pages for all the latest news. (05.08.10)
