The big spenders will be out in force again this summer, with Real Madrid looking to back new boss Xabi Alonso, Chelsea keen to improve again after securing Champions League qualification, and Manchester United desperate to reclaim some kind of success after a disastrous season that saw them finish just three places above the relegation zone in the Premier League.
The Red Devils have signed Matheus Cunha, with Man City also flexing their financial power to sign Tijani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli and Rayan Cherki.
Some big deals happened earlier than usual due to the Club World Cup and the deadline for participation in that tournament is now over, though the window remains open.
Some questions that will hang over the transfer window this season:
- Will Viktor Gyokeres leave Sporting CP?
- Who will sign Victor Osimhen?
- How much can Barcelona spend?
- Will top players want to join Man Utd?
- Will Arsenal sign a world-class striker?

Arsenal don’t want to trigger Eze’s release clause
Arsenal want to sign Eberechi Eze, but aren’t looking to trigger his £68 million (€78m) release clause.
This summer, the Gunners have already signed Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga, while they are reportedly on the cusp of adding Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera to their squad.
Eze is a target, too, but Arsenal want to pay for the Crystal Palace midfielder over time rather than an up-front payment. (talkSPORT)
