Five transfers we would like to see this summer …

Matthijs De Ligt at Manchester United
It seems that De Ligt has his choice of clubs this summer. Barcelona, ​​PSG, Juventus, Manchester City and Liverpool are all sniffers of this 19-year-old man. But why would the Ajax defender want to join one of those title winners where major honors are almost guaranteed when he could face the utter mess at Manchester United?

For most players presented with these options, United would not be up to it. But De Ligt is different from most players and, according to some reports, the Red Devils could qualify for the last two games against Barcelona. Of course, all this could be a mbadive trick get a few more euros from Barca, especially since the deal seemed as good as it was before the end of the season. But if it is not the case?

United would almost certainly the biggest payers among the contenders of De Ligt, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can give him much greater responsibility and notoriety. All that was written and said about the 19-year-old suggests that the challenge is as important as the salary he would earn in his next club, and that it would not be anywhere as big as Old Trafford.

De Ligt could be United's next captain and, if the hype is justified – which is almost certainly the case – the face of the Red Devils' rebirth. If he wishes, he can do five years at Old Trafford and continue to settle in Barcelona or Real Madrid before his heyday. Breaking the world record for a Dutch defender has certainly worked for Liverpool. If United still has a leverage, he should do the same.

Gareth Bale in Tottenham
After be avoided by supporters of Real Madrid and Zinedine Zidane Although he has achieved almost everything at Bernabeu, Bale needs to feel his love again. The Welshman became so disillusioned that he apparently would have agreed to stay on his huge contract at Real and spend his time playing golf, but that would be a tragic mess. Mauricio Pochettino has to bring back Bale to the house.

Given that they have a stage to pay, the Spurs have little hope of being able to afford a transfer fee of around 60 million pounds sterling in addition to his huge salary. But few clubs would be more willing to pay and since Real wants to shoot the player aged 29, with the prospect of seeing him stay in the last three years of his contract, the worst of all, Daniel Levy can afford to sit. greenhouse.

A loan decision seems to be the most likely compromise for all parties involved in Bale's immediate future. Although Ed Woodward will panic inevitably this summer and will try to sign Bale for United, an attractive return to the Spurs.

Bale would return to a different Spurs than he left, one with European congratulations if it 's the pedigree. The club has turned into its absence and the prospect of helping the Spurs to take a new step in their first season at their new home must surely attract more than the Madrid golf courses.

Of course, Bale's signature would be a reversal of the Spurs' recent approach. Sign anyone would represent a change, but signing person is not an option if the Spurs want to keep their manager. The only players over 26 to have joined the Spurs since 2016 are Fernando Llorente and Moussa Sissoko. While Pochettino will add more youth, an experience and a winning pedigree would be a wonderful addition. But it seems more likely that the new face of the Spurs' left flank will be another teenager …

Ryan Sessegnon in Liverpool
That's what Liverpool is supposed to believe about Sessegnon. Reports suggest that the Reds think the Fulham teenager is tied to Tottenham, but that should not deter them from trying to piss on all Spurs chips once again.

Sessegnon is up for grabs as he approaches the final year of his contract at Craven Cottage. Fulham can not afford to let under-21 England go for anything next year so it will sell for around £ 30m this summer.

At 19, Liverpool would have a lot to do. Jurgen Klopp does not need much for his first XI but there are still some holes in his team that Sessegnon could fill. With Alberto Moreno and Daniel Sturridge extinguished while doubts reign The future of Xherdan ShaqiriSessegnon could go to Liverpool.

He may not be guaranteed a starting place at Anfield – and nobody named Virgil van Dijk – but Sessegnon would have plenty of playing time in a growing club, which he argued in his childhood. It would be an ideal project for Klopp and its contractual status, coupled with its versatility, means that it offers a lot of value to those who pay the bills at Anfield.

Callum Hudson-Odoi at Bayern Munich
This one seems much less likely than in January. When Bayern for the last time pursued the English winger, Chelsea was not prevented from signing a substitute, Hudson-Odoi was not injured and Maurizio Sarri's position seemed safe. Now they are, it is, and it is not.

But none of this would have softened Bayern's enthusiasm. The Bundesliga champions need at least one winger this summer to cover the departures of Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben. Uli Hoeness admitted towards the end of the season that the club "still thought" of Hudson-Odoi despite his injury.

That's not quite his half, but if Bayern is allowed to sign Hudson-Odoi for £ 30m, you'll be able to hear Rummenigge and Hoeness laugh from here.

Bayern would also be interested in Leroy Sane but Manchester City is in a much stronger position than Chelsea on the fate of their young winger. City has awarded a "foolish" prize to the German international star, which could strengthen Bayern's interest in Hudson-Odoi.

An injury did not deter Bayern from Lucas Hernandez, the most expensive Bundesliga contract earlier this summer and although the defender is ready before Hudson-Odoi, it is pointed out that Bayern is taking a longer-term approach to its recruitment this summer.

Watching from afar Hudson-Odoi and Jadon Sancho using the Bundesliga as a battleground for places in England would be a treat for all of us. Despite the fact that he had made more money in a larger club, Hudson-Odoi would try to catch up. There would be no better time and few better places to justify the hype.

Harry Maguire in Manchester City
We are a little in conflict on this one. On the one hand, it would be fascinating to see what Brendan Rodgers could do with Leicester he's keeping their team intact and reinforcing it slightly this summer. But on the other hand, the prospect of seeing Pep Guardiola integrate Maguire into the Yorkshire Beckenbauer is too good to miss.

With the departure of Vincent Kompany and rumors that Nicolas Otamendi is looking for a match elsewhere, Guardiola should be on the market for a central defender this summer. At the highest level, there are not many players as versatile as Maguire who could still improve.

The problem for Maguire's suitors is that Leicester knows it and they do not have to sell. Despite have the habit of selling his best player every summer In recent years, the Foxes would only do this if City put stupid money on the table.

But Maguire is worth it. If Leicester wants £ 90 million, it seems right. The price of each defender is now at the scale of Van Dijk. Even if none is as good as Liverpool's £ 75 million man, that does not mean that Maguire should look for less. United bottled it when they quoted the same figure for Maguire last summer, but a strong season for Leicester made Ed Woodward's concern about not paying the big price just for some good performances at world Cup. Another gentle movement, Ed.

Aymeric Laporte may not have the same tingling when we think of the central defenders of England Maguire and John Stones trained by Guardiola, but there is room for the three at City and everyone would develop even more with this kind of competition, which is something that Maguire needs to realize its potential.
