The ongoing 2020-21 season is an unusual season in many ways. Due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus last year, the last season ended relatively late, which had a knock-on effect on the following season.
With the spread of the epidemic, the financial situation of most of the top European clubs has been severely affected, so the transfer window last summer was relatively calm. However, this summer we may see blockbuster deals made by some top teams.
Next, let us predict the ten major transfers that may occur in European football this summer.
Comte transfers to Manchester United
Comte is considered to be one of the best young central defenders in football today.
The 22-year-old player currently plays for Sevilla in La Liga. He has become a transfer target for many top European clubs.
Since joining Sevilla in the summer of 2019, Conde has scored 5 goals in nearly 80 games. But his outstanding performance on the defensive end often makes people doubt his age.
The young French central defender could have joined Premier League last summer, but Sevilla's 90 million euro valuation for him made Manchester United and Arsenal discouraged.
According to reports, the defending Europa League champion cut the price of Comte by 30 million euros. This summer, Old Trafford may be his most likely place to go.
Declan Rice joins Manchester United/Chelsea
In the past two seasons, Declan Rice has been the target of and Chelsea . Now Manchester United has also joined the Blues. Ranks.
The 22-year-old West Ham United player is one of the best young defensive midfielders in the Premier League.He scored 4 goals in 140 games for the Hammers, but what Rice is really impressive is the ability to intercept in the midfield.
With West Ham United reducing Rice's asking price from £70 million to £50 million, Manchester United can provide three players for the young England international.
According to reports, Chelsea's interest in Rice is gradually diminishing, so it is very likely that Rice will join Manchester United in the summer.
Depay joins Barcelona
As early as last summer, Depay has been Barcelona's transfer target. But the deal was not reached in the end. The most important reason was that Barcelona did not have enough funds to make an offer.
Barcelona are gradually regaining their form under the coach of Koeman. They hope to sign the Dutch striker for free after the end of the season, which will also help their financial situation.
Depay used to be the proud disciple of the Barcelona coach when he was in charge of the Oranje, so Koeman is eager to reunite with Captain Lyon at Nou Camp . However, whether Depay's transfer can take place requires the approval of the new Barcelona chairman Laporta.
Sancho joins Manchester United
Manchester United may have another blockbuster deal this summer-Dortmund winger Sancho.
After Sancho played invincible in Dortmund, he was associated with the Red Devils last summer. However, the Bundesliga team insisted on the price of up to 128 million euros for Sancho, which eventually broke down the negotiations between the two sides.
The state of Sancho has declined sharply so far in the 2020-21 season. It was not until January that he scored the first league goal of the season. Dortmund may choose to sell their wingers this summer.
Recently, Dortmund CEO Watzke admitted that the club may reduce Sancho’s transfer fee in order to facilitate the transaction.This also means that Manchester United can introduce one of their dream goals this summer.
Alaba joins Real Madrid/Barça/Paris Saint-Germain
Alaba has performed very well in the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. He has won two European Triple Crowns for the club and many more Domestic and European honors.
The 28-year-old Austrian international is considered to be one of the best defenders in today's football. In the past two seasons, he changed from a left back to a central defender, and his performance is still very good.
But Alaba has announced that he will not renew his contract with Bayern. He is preparing to leave the Bundesliga as a free agent this summer. According to reports, Real Madrid , Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are among the top European clubs interested in Alaba.
It is understood that Real Madrid has reached a verbal agreement with Alaba, but Paris Saint-Germain has recently joined the competition with a higher offer. The whereabouts of the Austrian international next season remains to be seen.
Mbappé joins Real Madrid/Liverpool
Mbappé is one of Real Madrid’s most important targets in the transfer market. Real Madrid almost didn’t move forward last summer. Pound signing.
Real Madrid coach Zidane has long favored his little compatriots, but as one of the best attacking players in football today, his value is certainly not cheap, even though he and Paris Saint-Germain's contract has only one year left.
The recent transfer rumors also seem to indicate that in addition to Real Madrid, Liverpool is another top team that is expected to get Mbappé.
Harland joins Chelsea/Real Madrid
Since his debut in the 2019 Champions League,Harland's position in football has risen like a rocket.
The Dortmund striker was born a scoring machine, especially in the Champions League league, he also became the youngest player to score 20 goals in the tournament.
Haaland has scored 49 goals in 49 games for Dortmund in all competitions, averaging 1 goal per game. There is no doubt that many top clubs are interested in the 20-year-old striker.
Real Madrid captain Ramos talked about Haaland, sparking speculation that Haaland will transfer to Real Madrid in the summer. Ramos said: "If Real Madrid introduces a genius like Haaland, it will definitely be a great one. Signed, he has what we lack: speed, desire to score goals, height...Of course, Mbappé is equally good, but this summer it is easier to reach an agreement with Harland."
Interestingly, Chelsea Also competing for this player, club owner Abramovich declared that signing Haaland is his primary goal.
It remains to be seen which team Haaland will eventually join this summer. The most important thing is that Dortmund may be reluctant to sell their most precious wealth.
Lukaku joins Manchester City
Lukaku is one of the most popular strikers in football today. Since joining Inter Milan in the summer of 2019, the Belgium international has scored 59 goals in 85 games.
Lukaku scored 19 goals this season, helping Inter Milan take the lead in the Serie A championship. He is currently second only to Cristiano Ronaldo in the league scorer list.
Considering his fiery performance in the club and the national team, Lukaku will be pursued by many top European clubs this summer.
However, Manchester City may be the next stop of his career, because Guardiola is looking for a replacement for Aguero.
Messi joins Manchester City/Paris Saint-Germain
Messi can be said to be one of the best players in today's football and football history.
As Barcelona's legendary star, Messi almost left the team last summer after experiencing the first time without a championship in more than a decade.
It is understandable that Barcelona does not want to lose their best player in history. Messi has submitted an official transfer application, and finally he chose to continue playing at the Nou Camp.
Although Barcelona have performed better this season, they may still experience a championship-free season again. In the last few months before Messi's contract with Barcelona expires, he has not renewed a contract with Barcelona, so he may leave the club as a free agent this summer.
Considering Messi’s huge salary, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have become the two most likely destinations for Messi in the future.
Ronaldo joins Real Madrid
As a star at the same level as Messi, Ronaldo scored 95 goals in 122 games played for Juventus .
However, Juventus unexpectedly lost to Porto in the Champions League round of 16 and this caused Ronaldo to suffer a huge blow. It is widely speculated that the Portuguese striker may choose to return to Bernabeu this summer.
After the UEFA Champions League defeat, Ronaldo returned to Serie A and staged a hat-trick in only half of the game, but Juventus and the league leader Inter Milan are still very far behind. They are currently 10 points behind with one game less. This season, Ronaldo may not be able to win an important championship in a single season after many years.
Real Madrid coach Zidane will definitely welcome Ronaldo's return with open arms. This will be one of the important reasons for Ronaldo to leave Juventus.
