The transfer window is still open and we have witnessed many teams signed and some are still bringing in more players to reinforce and wait for next season to compete for the EPL title. Manchester United needs an out and out striker. A striker has to be priority with a goal keeper next. Every team would be competing next season, we can’t say Manchester United isn’t among, they’re still going to add more names and prepare well for next season, likewise Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester city.
It is very interesting to see the activities of the big Premier League teams in the transfer market this season. Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are still busy looking for new players to add quality to the team in order to maintain competition at the top. Several quality players have been successfully brought in, but the teams have not been satisfied with their new recruits, their activity continues in the transfer market in order to get a few more players.
Manchester City made another surprise by expressing their desire to bring in Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona in the transfer market window this summer, Manchester City desire was very reasonable because they had just lost Gundogan who chose to go to Barcelona for free. Even though Manchester City still has several classy midfielders such as Kalvin Phillips, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and a new player who has recently brought in Mateo Kovacic. Manchester City are still not satisfied with quality players in midfield positions, especially since Manchester City have just failed to get the signature of Declan Rice who chose to join Arsenal.
Manchester City is trying to make an offer to Barcelona of £ 90 million to recruit De Jong, Manchester City offer is higher than the fee paid by Barcelona when bringing De Jong from Ajax Amsterdam in 2019. Manchester City's ambition to improve the team's performance from what they showed last season cannot be separated from the transfer activities carried out by their rivals. De Jong is considered to be very suitable for the style of play used by Guardiola because he is no stranger to the tiki-taka philosophy.
This time Manchester City did not want to fail for the second time in securing the signature of a new midfielder, an offer of £ 90 million was considered very difficult to refuse as Barcelona were experiencing financial problems.
