It has been a significant amount of time, at least 15 minutes, since Chelsea handed a massive contract to a player they did not necessarily need. As a result, it comes as no great surprise that the club is now considering making a late move for Ivan Toney. However, Brentford remains confident that Toney will stick to his childhood dream of playing for Al-Ahli, leaving the Mill in a state of suspense.
Meanwhile, traditional rivals Al-Hilal are also looking to make moves in the transfer market. They have set their sights on full-backs Kyle Walker and João Cancelo. Manchester City, on the other hand, is still active in the market, with talks circulating about a potential return of Ilkay Gundogan from Barcelona. Such a move would significantly reduce the average age of City’s midfield, bringing a new dynamic to the team.
Conversely, Manchester United has yet to make any new signings in a particular position, a testament to the success of their revolutionary “doughnut formation” from last season. Paris Saint-Germain may finally give up on their pursuit of Manuel Ugarte, while Fulham draws closer to finalizing a deal with Burnley for Sander Berge, hinting that Scott McTominay may remain at Old Trafford.
Real Sociedad remains steadfast in their valuation of Mikel Merino, causing frustration for Mikel Arteta. Furthermore, Arsenal has turned down Nottingham Forest’s bid for Eddie Nketiah. The Gunners may also see one of their vibrant characters, Aaron Ramsdale, potentially leaving for Wolves. Ramsdale is known for his unique qualities and humor, making him a memorable character on and off the field.
Lastly, in Turin, Juventus has a need for insubordinate English wingers. While initially eyeing Jadon Sancho, they have shifted their focus to Raheem Sterling, who may be seeking a change from Chelsea. Interestingly, there are even talks of Chelsea considering signing Sterling to an unusually lengthy contract. These potential moves and developments in the transfer market provide an intriguing backdrop to the upcoming season.
