The Premier League season is now almost a week away from its start – and while some clubs have already done their business in preparation for 2024/25, there are likely to be plenty of transfers to go before the window closes at the end of the month.
While the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United have made moves in defence, Chelsea have improved their squad options everywhere and champions Manchester City have brought in one attacking reinforcement, Liverpool have yet to do any senior business, so expect that to change sooner or later. at least.
At the bottom of the table there is still movement for West Ham, Tottenham, Newcastle and others, as the top flight teams look set for the campaign ahead.
Martin Zubimendi to Liverpool
Arne Slot hopes Spain and Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi will be his first signing and start No6, but there is still work to be done on the deal and the Basque outfit want to keep him. The Reds may pay the £51m release clause up front.
Dominic Solanke to Tottenham
Spurs are in “advanced talks” for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke, according to reports, who has a £65m release clause – but the offer will be much lower. Liverpool have a sell-on clause of around 20 percent of the original Solanke sale in 2019.
Pedro Neto to Chelsea
News broke on Friday evening that Chelsea have opened their checkbook again – this time agreeing a fee of up to £54m including an add-on for Wolves striker Pedro Neto. The Portuguese forward has been plagued by injuries over the last few years, but has been a key player for Old Gold during his time.
Jean-Clair Todibo for West Ham United
West Ham will give the French defender a medical despite still competing with Juventus for his signature. The fee is estimated to be around €40m (£34.2m) – but will have to be paid next year, as it will be a season-long loan with an option to buy.
Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid
Man City haven’t made the big money this summer, but they could be selling something that fits the bill, as Julian Alvarez sealed a move to Atletico Madrid for a fee that could reach £82m.
Kurt Zouma to Al-Ahli
The West Ham captain is now heading to the UAE, no fee has been reported but the centre-back will end his time in the Premier League after playing for Chelsea, Stoke, Everton and the Hammers.
Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid
It’s all-but-done, just not done over the line. Chelsea’s captain last season and certainly one of their more consistent players, Conor Gallagher was sold due to the benefit to the club in terms of finances focused on PSR. £33m is the fee.
Scott McTominay for Fulham
There is still debate over this deal, as the Cottagers have had a number of bids rejected – but United need to sell and midfielder Scott McTominay looks to be one of those who could be sold. United want a £30m package, which Fulham have yet to reach.
Samu Omorodion to Chelsea
The deal is upside down between the two clubs now, as another arrival at Stamford Bridge is Samu Omorodion, the Spanish striker at the Olympics with the U23. He scored eight times on loan at Alaves last season.
Facundo Buonanotte for Leicester
In what seems to be an increasingly rare transfer among Premier League clubs, Brighton have sent the young Argentine attacking midfielder to Leicester for game time and, perhaps, to clear the decks. The Seagulls have plenty of options in that support line – the Foxes need top flight quality. He is set for loan before the weekend.
Julian Araujo to Bournemouth
Barcelona squad member Julian Araujo is a Mexico international and previously played in the MLS with the LA Galaxy. He has yet to win a title at Barca and could move to Bournemouth for £9m.
Wan-Bissaka to West Ham
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is reportedly closing in on a move to West Ham with his five-year contract at Manchester United almost up. It is thought the 26-year-old will cost around £17m, and United are thought to be looking to sign Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazrouai if a deal goes through.
