The start of the preseason is almost ready and this can only mean one thing: the summer transfer period is in full swing. Across the country, elite teams are starting to make their moves as they seek to bolster their teams and remove some of their dead wood ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
Manchester United’s nightmare summer so far could worsen although reports on Thursday night claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo could be willing to leave if the club does not start signing players for Erik ten Hag.
United bosses are currently working on a deal for Frenkie de Jong, but the rate has proven to be a point of conflict with Barcelona already rejecting multiple offers. Ajax stars Antony and Jurrien Timber have also been closely linked, while Christian Eriksen is still pondering his future with United and Brentford chasing his signature.
Although United have struggled to make ends meet this summer, Arsenal and Tottenham have already received numerous additions and the pair are battling Chelsea and Barcelona for Leeds star Raphinha. The saga of transfers of the Brazilian has been rumbling for weeks and has given many twists and turns with his future still in the air.
Like Manchester City, Liverpool and Newcastle are also looking to splash more money before the end of the window, so it’s fair to say there is a lot to watch out for.
