Apart from the finals of the Europa League and Champions League, all the other important matches of this season are almost over. Hence, most of the teams have already started preparing for the upcoming season.
This transfer window will be an interesting one as a number of big teams are on the road to resurrection and they could make a few buys which could define the kind of football that will be played next season. While Real Madrid and Manchester United need to make a few big-money moves, clubs like Juventus, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and PSG could also invest heavily this summer to fulfill their Champions League aspirations.
There is a chance that a number of big players could be moving this summer which would make this transfer window an exciting one for the fans. On that note, here is a list of the Top 5 Transfers which can happen this summer.
#5 Matthijs de Ligt to Barcelona
Matthijs de Ligt is in high demand across Europe right now. After an impressive season with Ajax, the 19-year-old is wanted by top clubs across Europe and the youngster is also willing to leave his current club.
De Ligt has all the qualities to become one of the best defenders in the world in the future and hence, teams are willing to invest heavily on him. He captained his club to the semifinals of the Champions League and also became the youngest Dutch goalscorer in a knockout game of the Champions League.
The Ajax defender has been a target for Catalan giants for a while and although there could be issues regarding the price, de Ligt is likely to play for Barcelona next season.
#4 Joao Felix to Manchester City
Portugal might have already produced yet another candidate to become a football superstar in the future. However, this time around, it seems as though Manchester City will be the team to take the responsibility of nurturing the superstar.
Joao Felix has been in wonderful form for Benfica this season and the 19-year-old also impressed everyone with his skills in the Europa League. Felix is a genuine forward and with his agility and creative ability, the youngster can score a lot of goals in the future.
Manchester City will be looking for attacking options in this transfer window as the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane have not stepped up this season. Felix could be a perfect fit for the Premier League Champions.
#3 Kalidou Koulibaly to Manchester United
If any team requires defensive reinforcements this summer, Manchester United would stand first in the list. The Red Devils have leaked too many goals this season and barring Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw, the current defensive set-up does not inspire confidence to do well in the next season.
Kalidou Koulibaly has been a consistent performer for Napoli for the last few seasons and the tall defender from Senegal has all the potential to become a complete defender in the future.
Koulibaly can give solidity to the defense of Manchester United and hence, if the fee surges too, the Red Devils are likely to sign him.
#2 Eden Hazard to Real Madrid
Eden Hazard is one of the best players in the world right now and the time is ripe for the Belgian to take his career to the next level. This involves a transfer to a big club and Real Madrid is the big club involved in Eden Hazard's case.
Real Madrid is in tatters right now and one of the issues to solve is their inconsistent goal-scoring form. Gareth Bale's Real Madrid career is almost done while Karim Benzema is on the wrong side of his age.
The other attackers in the squad are young and hence, Eden Hazard is a priority target for the Spanish giants this summer. Going by various media reports, this deal could well be a reality in a matter of a few days.
#1 Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United
Antoine Griezmann announced his departure from Athletico Madrid a few days ago after an impressive spell at the club.
The Frenchman is a prolific forward and is a guaranteed goal-scorer for his team. He often has a positive impact on his side and Griezmann is also a good leader and individual to have in the dressing room.
Manchester United has struggled to score goals this season and a major reason for that has been the inconsistency of their forwards. They require talented players to solve the issue at Old Trafford and hence, rightly so, they have been linked with Griezmann.
The World Cup winner is capable of helping Manchester United out of the mess and hence, he could be signed by the club in this transfer window.
