5 Influential Players Who Could Transfer This Summer

The World Cup brings with it an interesting summer as some of the biggest players in the game get to show their stuff on the world’s stage. This also means teams are eager to get deals done and squads reshaped as a number of major clubs are set to appoint new managers and find a new identity. There are as many as five different players with major influence who could make a transfer in the summer, let’s take a look at who those are.

Top 5 Transfer Moves We Could See This Summer

Enzo Fernandez

Chelsea co-captain and World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez has been a clutch midfielder for hsi team this season. Able to dictate games and crash the box to score goals from midfield, he has a skillset that would make him a valuable part of any eleven. As a proven winner with Argentina his leadership skills and winning nous make him a very attractive signing.

He is not on here without merit or whispers, the former Benfica man has been teasing a move away already, speaking very positively about Madrid and a possible move there in interviews already. There have also been some rumours abound that Manchester City could be interested as they continue to overhaul their ageing squad with Enzo Maresca reportedly lined up as their next manager.

It would prove difficult to keep the midfielder if both sides made their interest a reality, particularly with him already showing some desire to leave.

Kylian Mbappe

Things have not gone to plan for the Frenchman since his high profile move from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid. Los Blancos have fallen apart, going trophyless in this campaign with constant reports of player mutiny, squad infighting, and a toxic environment that pushed out Xabi Alonso.

With the squad seemingly split down the middle between stars Vini Jr and Kylian Mbappe there is some interest from major European sides in saving Mbappe should the squad choose the Brazilian over him.You can play live casino games which seems more stable than the current Madrid unit and maybe bet on the next destination for the former PSG man.

Robert Lewandowski

The ageing Polish legend has managed to stave off decline and lead the line for Barcelona with aplomb. After stints with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich made him one of the best strikers of an era, his time in La Liga has proven he is timeless.

Despite that, the Blaugrana seem set to move on from the marksman. Replacing his goal output will prove to be difficult but at 37 he seems to be eyeing a slightly less difficult task as he’s reportedly fielding a contract offer from FC Porto.

Bradley Barcola

After emerging at Lyon, Bradley Barcola has become a top name in his time with Paris Saint-Germain. With a Champions League under his belt, he forms a part of their attacking unit which can see he, Desire Doue, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, or Ousmane Dembele operate as a fluid trio who can switch positions at will and confuse opposing defenders.

With his attacking abilities and a relative lack of minutes in crunch time, it comes as no surprise that Premier League teams are already sniffing around the winger. PSG can’t get away with having 4 elite attackers for 3 positions for long, no team in football ever has, and the time could be coming to an end as Barcola has his head turned.

Julian Alvarez

More on here for his ability than any concrete rumours, Julian Alvarez has found the regular starts he was seeking at Atletico Madrid. There is no reason to believe he’s unhappy there but a player of his ability can’t go ignored for long. Having already proven his talents at Manchester City, he is likely to field interest from major clubs in the off-season and could have his head turned.
