Whether it’s seeing big-money moves, or club legends leaving, we all love fresh-faced recruits in our team’s starting line-up to bring excitement and even more competitiveness for the upcoming season.
Today we cover the possible transfers in the English Premier League, Serie A and other big name buys that could be jetting off for a new challenge real soon.
Charlie Austin to Manchester United
Estimated value £18 million
Scoring 17 goals over the 2014-15 premier League season, Charlie Austin is hot property in the Premier League. Hot favourites are Manchester United, who loaned in Colombian star Radamel Falcao this season, but after 26 appearances and only four goals, and an embarrassing drop to the youth side, he isn’t likely to be welcome at Old Trafford for another season.
With captain Wayne Rooney dropping into midfield and Robin van Persie often out with injury, a young English talisman could be on the books for United.
Mohamed Salah to Fiorentina
Estimated value £12 million
The Egyptian winger is currently on loan at Italian club Fiorentina from Premier League Champions Chelsea, who he joined in January. Fiorentina are on the brink of Europa League qualification, fighting for sixth spot with Genoa.
Salah has brought a spark to Fiorentina’s game, with his ability to cut down defence with his agility and blistering pace. He has appeared in 13 games for Fiorentina, scoring five goals.
If Salah stays in London, he’d be rotting away on the bench. He has enough talent to change a team’s season, and he is a very exciting player.
Kevin De Bruyne to Manchester City
Estimated value £35 million
The 23-Year-old Belgian superstar has torn apart the Europa League and is making a name for himself at Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg, seeing 46 appearances and scoring 13 goals. Former English champions Manchester City have shown interest in the midfielder, a report back in March stated that De Bruyne confirmed that City approached him and offered a transfer sum of up to £35 million pounds.
De Bruyne is one of the world’s rising stars and has also had informal contact with Paris-Saint Germain and Bundesliga champions FC Bayern Mûnchen.
Karim Benzema to Arsenal
Estimated value £22 million
Karim Benzema is an absolutely sublime player, but he often flies under the radar at Real Madrid, being shadowed by the other big signings like Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Chicharito.
Arsenal have had to settle for another French striker, Olivier Giroud, who people heaped criticism on throughout their campaign, even though he scored 14 goals.
Benzema would enjoy his play alongside countryman Giroud, especially with Theo Walcott expected to be let go.
Marco Reus to Real Madrid
Estimated value £40 million
Reus has been apart of the Borussia Dortmund side that fell behind this season with just two wins in the first 11 games. After the winter break Reus stormed back into form, as did the rest of the team, scoring 10-plus goals in the second half of the season.
This season alone does not show the extent of Marco Reus’ ability and it’s no wonder Real Madrid are after the World Cup winner. If the sale of Benzema goes through, expect Cristiano Ronaldo to be moved into the striker position and Reus on his favoured left side.
Paulo Dybala to Juventus
Estimated value £42 million
The 21-year-old Argentine has caught the eye of the biggest clubs around the world including Paris-Saint Germain and Chelsea, but it is rumoured that the young striker has agreed to join Italian Champions for the fourth straight year, Juventus.
The Argentine netted 11 goals this season and assisted five at Palermo, who are set to finish in the top half of the table this season.
These are some of the transfers that could be happening very soon. Stay tuned for another write-up of even more.
