The season is pretty much over, so now we look forward to the summer transfer window and all
the goodies it has for us. Some transfers are already done, like Bellingham to Real Madrid,
Soyuncu to Atletico, Mac Allister to Liverpool, and Milner to Brighton. But
we still anticipate some huge shockers which will take many fans by surprise in this window.
Come with us as we look at 10 shock transfers that could actually happen this summer.
There are so many spicy ones to start with,
but let’s begin with Neymar Jr. The Brazilian looks like he’s on his way
out of PSG, and it’s looking like his next destination will be the Premier League.
There have been rumors about a possible Newcastle move for some time now,
but we think that the bigger shocker would be Neymar moving to Man City. According to L’equipe,
Pep recently had a phone conversation with Neymar asking him what his plans are for the summer.
Of course, that doesn’t automatically mean that the transfer will happen, but it could well be
the start of something and we are definitely here for it. Neymar is Pep's type of player after all.
Speaking of Newcastle, there is a small possibility that they could be signing
Cristiano Ronaldo this summer. Earlier in the season, there were rumors that Ronaldo would
join the Magpies on a loan deal if the club managed to secure Champions League football,
and now that they have done that, who knows? That might just happen.
Newcastle definitely know that they’ll have to strengthen their squad ahead of
next season. They will be competing on the biggest stages and will definitely
be looking to win some trophies, so they need to add some big names to the squad.
And considering that they will be returning to the Champions League for just the first time in
2 decades, who could be a better addition to the squad than Mr. Champions League himself?
And you know what? Ronaldo’s former teammate,
Marco Asensio could also be moving to the Premier League. Aston Villa have already
submitted a bid to the Spaniard and they’re really pushing to bring him over to Villa Park.
As it stands, Asensio already has one foot out of the Bernabeu, and Aston Villa,
who will be playing in Europe next season, are frontrunners for his
signature. But reports say that PSG are also interested, so keep an eye out for that one.
Speaking of PSG, they might be looking to snatch Vini Jr. this summer. The Brazilian
winger has been a victim of racism in Spain on several occasions this season alone,
so that could really make him consider leaving the country to play elsewhere.
If he makes that decision, PSG could be his destination.
The French club themselves will be losing two huge attacking players
in Messi and Neymar in the same window, so getting Vini would be a good start to
replacing those guys while also looking forward to the future.
Real Madrid letting Vini go would be a huge shocker but at
this point it doesn’t look very likely. However,
the shocker that’s currently looking likely is Roberto Firmino joining Real Madrid.
The Brazilian striker has already said goodbye to Anfield and is a free agent as we speak. Real
Madrid, who were not very happy with Benzema’s season, are now considering bringing in another
experienced goalscorer to create some healthy competition in the center-forward position.
We hear that Barcelona are also interested in Firmino,
so that’s an interesting one to look out for this summer.
Speaking of Barcelona, the club has already said goodbye to Busquets and Alba, but it appears that
they’ll be saying goodbye to a few more players this summer. If they want to bring back Messi
and also bring in a few other players, some of the current players will have to leave for sure.
From recent comments made by Xavi, the club’s number 10, Ansu Fati, is totally
not untouchable. He did not really impress this season, so he could be one of the players
sold this summer in order to raise some money for other transfers they deem more important.
There is a possibility that Fati could join Wolves in a kind of swap deal that would see Ruben Neves
move to Spain. But then, Ansu Fati is a young kid with a huge future ahead of him, so if Barcelona
confirm that they want to sell him, we could see more clubs join the race for his signature.
Since we’re still on Barcelona, let’s just drop this bomb! Lionel Messi might
actually not make that much-anticipated return this summer. According to Fabrizio Romano,
Messi wants to make his decision about his future in the next few days,
but guess what! Barcelona are still yet to make an official bid because of Financial Fair Play!
So, they could very well miss out on bringing their boy back home this summer. In that case,
Messi could move to Al Hilal. A bid to make him the highest-paid
player in football history has been on the table since April,
so with Barcelona looking less and less likely by the day, the Argentinian could
be considering moving to Saudi Arabia, a country where he is already an ambassador.
If he doesn’t go that way, then a move to the
Premier League could be on the cards for him. Man City perhaps?
And since we mentioned City, Joao Cancelo appears to be leaving for sure this summer. Bayern will
not be retaining him after his loan spell and Man City will not be welcoming him back,
so the Portuguese full-back could be joining Barcelona or Arsenal this summer.
Speaking of Arsenal, it is no longer news that they want to
sign Declan Rice this summer. They’re even willing to offer Folarin Balogun
to their city rivals in order to get the defensive midfielder over to the Emirates.
Other Premier League clubs including Chelsea and Newcastle have also shown interest in Rice,
but the lad could very well end up leaving England altogether and moving to Germany to
join Bayern Munich. Reports say that Thomas Tuchel really fancies him and
has already even put a call through to him in the past couple of days,
so he just might be able to convince the Englishman to make the move.
Also, Kimmich might be leaving the Allianz Arena this summer. If that happens,
that Bayern offer would definitely become a more tempting one for Rice.
Finally, Harry Maguire could be leaving Old Trafford this summer. The Man United captain has
been relegated to the bench this season and it’s no news that the coach doesn’t fancy him at all,
so the former Leicester City man will be looking to find a way out of the club as soon as possible.
There have been a few reports linking him with AS Roma,
and who knows? Jose Mourinho might just be able to turn Maguire into a top defender
again just like he did with another former Man United center-back, Chris Smalling.
Anway, what other shocking transfers do you expect to
happen this summer? Let us know in the comments.
