The summer transfer window will close this month. Buying, loaning and selling is expected to be even more dramatic over the next 30 days.
Premier League have decided to shut its transfer window on August 10
th, 21 full days before the rest of Europe.
Many of the top clubs have already made several signings ahead of the new season, but here are 5 big moves that could still happen.
Jerome Boateng
From Bayern Munich to PSG
New PSG boss Thomas Tuchel is a huge admirer of Jerome Boateng and ideally sees him as the ball-playing option to partner either Marquinhos or Thiago Silva.
The €50m centre-back himself has given hints that he wouldn’t mind to change his club and it’s a deal that should be beneficial to all parties involved.
Fullbacks for Manchester United
Manchester United stars Matteo Darmian and Luke Shaw seem to leave the club, this would leave the Red Devils short in both quality and Numbers. A number of high-quality players have been linked to the club: Alex Sandro features prominently on the list.
A defensive midfielder for Manchester City
The Citizens need a player as the long-term replacement for ageing midfielder Fernandinho.
Mario Lemina, Marco Kovacic and Miralem Pjanic among the options linked to the club.
Luka Modric
From Real Madrid to Inter Milan
Inter Milan have made contact with Luka Modric’s representatives over a potential move, with the Real Madrid midfielder thought to be open to the switch.
Inter, who will compete in the Champions League for the first time in six years, have made midfield targets a priority.
Eden Hazard and Thibault Courtois
From Chelsea to Real Madrid
Both Belgium international players had been linked to the reigning Real Madrid for a number of years now. It is almost certain that Courtois would leave the club. That of Hazard is less straightforward.
