With the focus shifting from the 2024 European Championship and 2024 Copa America to the summer transfer window, big moves are already making headlines. Kylian Mbappe’s switch to Real Madrid has garnered significant attention, while Manchester United and Bayern Munich have also made impressive signings early on. The likes of Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and PSG are yet to start their summer shopping, but activity is expected to pick up before the August 30 deadline. Here are seven mega transfers that could materialize in the coming weeks:
#7 Dani Olmo: From RB Leipzig To Manchester City
Spain midfielder Dani Olmo’s standout performances in EURO 2024 have attracted interest from Premier League giants Manchester City. Reports suggest that City are leading the race to sign Olmo for a fee of £50 million ($64.7 million).
#6 Matthijs de Ligt: From Bayern Munich To Manchester United
Manchester United, despite adding Leny Yoro to their defense, are reportedly pursuing a deal for Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt. Negotiations are ongoing, with Bayern seeking €50 million ($54.44 million) for the center-back.
#5 Ivan Toney: From Brentford To Arsenal
Arsenal are considering a move for Brentford’s Ivan Toney, who could be available for a reduced fee of £50 million ($65 million) this summer. The Gunners missed out on their top target earlier and see Toney as a viable option.
#4 Nico Williams: From Athletic Bilbao To Barcelona
Barcelona are eyeing a move for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, with a potential €58 million ($63.15 million) release clause standing in the way. Barca fans are eager to see the 21-year-old winger join the club.
#3 Alphonso Davies: From Bayern Munich To Real Madrid
Real Madrid are interested in signing Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, but negotiations are ongoing due to the player’s contract situation. Davies’ contract expires in 2025, giving Bayern leverage in the talks.
#2 Mohamed Salah: From Liverpool To Saudi Arabia
Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool is uncertain, with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad reportedly interested in signing the Egyptian forward. With Salah in the final year of his contract, a move could be on the horizon.
#1 Victor Osimhen: From Napoli To PSG
After losing Kylian Mbappe, PSG are targeting Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as their next goal-scoring threat. Negotiations are ongoing, with Napoli reportedly valuing Osimhen at £109 million ($140.98 million) while PSG are reluctant to go above £84 million ($108.64 million).
These potential transfers are sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats as the summer transfer window progresses.
