Over the years, the significance of a transfer window has grown immensely as the business done in this period can change the destinies of the club over the course of the season. The signing of Mohammed Salah changed Liverpool's fortunes as they went to play the UEFA Champions League final, only to be defeated by Real Madrid whereas the transfers like of Tiémoué Bakayoko can be proved an absolute disaster who was signed to replace outgoing Nemanja Matic but is yet to muster himself up to the task.
Most of the clubs are waiting for the World cup to end so that they can scout the new exciting talents. One of them is Mexico's Hirving Lozano who has been linked to big transfer move to Barcelona or Manchester United.
On the other hand, some clubs are looking to get a bunch of signing before the World cup conclusion in fear that the prices in the market would get inflated just like the last season when the money demanded by the parent clubs sky-rocketed after Neymar joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona for €222m.
Mo Salah signed for Liverpool from AS Roma in the early parts of the transfer window for just £36.9m, one could only imagine how much Roma would have demanded after the unrealistic money involved in Neymar's transfer.
(This list does not include the names of players like Kylian Mbappe and Douglas Costa whose loan deals are made permanent in this transfer window.)
#5 BERND LENO (To Arsenal)
Former Bayer Leverkusen goalie Bernd Leno signed a five-year-deal with Arsenal for a reported fee of €22m. Unai Emery's arsenal has been one of the most active clubs in this transfer window till now by making two defensive reinforcements in their squad; Bernd Leno and Stephan Lichtsteiner.
He will challenge Peter Cech for the starting birth next season unless the 36-year old opts to leave the club in quest of one last payday. Cech had a miserable season where he conceded a few too many goals. The backline of Arsenal added up to his misery with sloppy back-passes and school-boy errors.
Bernd Leno is an experienced goalkeeper who has played more than 300 games over the course of 7 seasons for the Bundesliga Club. The shouts to improve the defence is well heard by Unai Emery who looks to build Arsenal from the back.
#4 FRED (To Manchester United)
The Brazilian midfielder joined United from Shakhtar Donetsk for a reported fee of £52million. The indecisive future of Marouane Fellaini and the retirement of Michael Carrick forced Jose Mourinho to look for a midfielder.
Fred can prove to be the final piece of the jigsaw for United's Midfield. Unlike Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic, he is not tall but has an impressive turn of pace, excellent short passing and solid ball control.
He is technically gifted and could form a great partnership with Matic and Pogba in the centre. He can give Pogba the assurance to go further to attack and could also compensate for Matic's lack of speed.
#3 EMRE CAN (To Juventus)
Another fantastic free signing for Juventus. They have this art to get the amazing players for free. Emre Can will follow the footsteps of Dani Alves, Fabio Cannavaro, Paul Pogba and Andrea Pirlo who also moved to Juventus on a free transfer.
Emre Can was signed by Liverpool in July 2014 and went to score 14 goals in 167 appearances. He will play in the midfield roles but could also be deployed in the right-back and the centre-back position.
The German international is a big signing for Juventus because Miralem Pjanic has been linked to a move to Barcelona or Chelsea in this summer window. He is physically strong and can prove to be a good company for Blaise Matuidi in the midfield.
#2 FABINHO (To Liverpool)
Fabinho was rumoured to a move to Atletico Madrid or Manchester United over a past few transfer windows but it was Liverpool who was able to sign him for a reported £45million fee.
His versatility can be a large surplus for the reds as he can play in defensive midfield as well as a right-back. He can form a brilliant midfield trio with Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita in a 4-3-3 formation.
Breaking up play, reading the game and protecting his back four might be Fabinho's principal job. With Emre Can heading to Juventus, he is a perfect man to replace the German International.
#1 RADJA NAINGGOLAN (To Inter Milan)
Radja Nainggolan joined Inter Milan from Roma for a reported fee of £33.5m. As part of the deal, Davide Santon and Nicolo Zaniolo have also joined the Giallorossi.
The Belgian midfielder has been of the most influential players for AS Roma over past few seasons. He will be a great addition to Inter Milan who looks to build their team after an impressive campaign.
Like Fabinho, he was also linked to a move in the previous transfer windows with Chelsea emerging as the favourites.
He featured in 42 matches last season, scoring six goals and making six assists. Nainggolan announced his retirement from International football after he was surprisingly left out of the Belgium World Cup squad by Martinez last month.
