This transfer window has been an eventful one till now. We have seen some major transfers taking place like Bastian Schweinsteiger to Manchester United, Raheem Sterling to Manchester City, Arda Turan to FC Barcelona, Iker Casillas to Porto.
The transfer window is still wide open with around 50 days remaining and many more major transfers are likely to take place in these remaining days.
We are making a list of five potential major transfers that are likely to happen in this transfer window sooner or later.
Angel Di Maria to PSG
The Argentine winger arrived to Manchester United on a British record fee of £59.7 million from Real Madrid only last season. He started his Old Trafford career on a high but his game declined massively after few games after suffering back to back injuries. He found himself on the sidelines even after becoming fit with the manager Louis Van Gaal preferring Ashley Young over him on the wing. Louis Van Gaal prefers a controlled style of play which does not suit the Di Maria who likes to trouble opponents with his direct running and dribbling skills. Paris Saint-Germain wanted the Argentine winger last summer also but Financial Fair Play Restrictions on them prevented them from buying the superstar. Now after the restrictions have been lifted they are again back to capture the winger. PSG manager Laurent Blanc stated about interest in the Manchester United number 7 also and it seems that Di Maria’s move to Parc des Princes is imminent.
David De Gea to Real Madrid
Another departure from Manchester United is imminent this summer with David De Gea close to join Spanish giants Real Madrid. The Spanish goalkeeper was the standout performer for the Old Trafford club for the last two seasons which attracted interest from the Spanish giants. Real Madrid also offloaded their 25 year servant under the bars Iker Casillas to FC Porto which makes the move even more closer. Spanish media El Confidencial claimed that a fee of £28.6 million has been agreed between the two European giants and the ex Atletico player has agreed to sign a six year contract at Santiago Bernabeu. The move is to be official anytime soon.
Pedro Rodriguez to Chelsea
The Barcelona inside forward is currently off favour at Camp Nou with the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar in the team. Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all were interested to bring the 27 year old World Cup winner but reports are saying Pedro has opted for a move to Stamford Bridge. Cesc Fabregas reportedly took a major role in convincing his former teammate to join Chelsea.
Nicolas Otamendi to Manchester United
The Argentine commanding centre back is one of the primary targets of the Old Trafford club. Valencia has already found a replacement of Otamendi in form of his compatriot Ezequiel Garay from Zenit St Petersburg. Otamendi’s arrival seems imminent to Old Trafford sooner rather than later.
Hugo Lloris to Manchester United
Manchester United are set to lose David De Gea to Real Madrid and a replacement of De Gea will be signed. The French captain was linked heavily with the Red Devils earlier also and after De Gea’s departure they are likely to move for for the Spurs goalkeeper.
