#3 Chelsea

Reigning European champions Chelsea are easily one of the most well-stacked teams on the continent right now. This Chelsea side has an exceptional blend of youth and experience, and we believe they have the potential to be Manchester City’s primary league rivals. Last season, Chelsea lacked a sharpshooter up top, but the €115m acquisition of Romelu Lukaku is bound to solve that problem.

Saul Niguez, who has joined the club on a season-long loan from Atletico Madrid, is also an excellent addition to the Chelsea midfield. Thanks to the Spaniard, Chelsea will not be overly dependent on Ngolo Kante or Jorginho anymore and will be able to rest them when needed.


#2 Manchester City

Premier League holders Manchester City are undoubtedly the most well-equipped team in English football. Pep Guardiola is a man obsessed with perfection, which has led to the creation of one of the most dominant teams in the world.

After the departure of Sergio Aguero, City went all out for Tottenham Hotspur man Harry Kane. However, they had to return empty-handed thanks to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. Even without Kane, Manchester City have more than a capable squad, featuring backups in every important position.

The €117m signing of Jack Grealish has given Guardiola more freedom to implement a false nine system. And given how successful last season was, we refuse to bet against the Sky Blues for yet another Premier League title. Keeping Kevin De Bruyne fit will be key for Guardiola, as the Belgian is undoubtedly the most important cog in this well-oiled machine.


#1 Paris Saint-Germain

PSG have arguably had the most impressive transfer window of the century. So, seeing them right at the top of this list is hardly a surprise. PSG already had the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Angel Di Maria leading the charge. This season, they have signed the great Lionel Messi, hoping to be even more formidable in France and Europe.

That is not all! PSG have also signed Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, AC Milan keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum, Porto defender Danilo Pereira (permanently) and Inter Milan right-back Achraf Hakimi.

Four of their top six transfers have come for free, saving the club millions in transfer fees. The 2019-20 finalists PSG are desperate to take the final step and win the Champions League. With this squad, they have an obligation to give themselves a real shot at continental glory.
