The transfer window is now open and it looks set to be one of the busiest ever for Premier League clubs. Manchester United are expected to be very busy as they look to overhaul their squad this summer after a woeful campaign.
The likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Antony are all expected to be sold, while club captain Bruno Fernandes could also be on the move. Al-Hilal are hoping to bring him to Saudi Arabia, having offered Fernandes a £100m deal over three years - with another £100m transfer fee for United.
Reigning champions Liverpool have already made some moves, with Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid confirmed on Friday with Madrid forking out around £8.4m to sign him a month early so he can play in the Club World Cup.
The signing of his replacement Jeremie Frimpong was also confirmed on Friday, with Liverpool spending £29.5m on the Bayer Leverkusen star. Another Leverkusen player is also expected to make the move to Anfield, with Liverpool closing in on a deal to sign Florian Wirtz.
Elsewhere, Manchester City are continuing their search for Kevin De Bruyne's replacement as Arsenal look to sign a new striker.

Liverpool close in on Wirtz
Liverpool have made an improved bid for Florian Wirtz which is closer to Bayer Leverkusen's £126million valuation. Wirtz, 22, is expected to sign a five-year contract at Anfield if the Reds strike a deal, as the Leverkusen star has already rejected Bayern Munich.
It's understood that Liverpool lodged an opening bid of £85m earlier this week. Now, after seeing that deal turned down, they've moved again, with an offer worth a total £109m.
This could be enough to tempt Leverkusen into a sale, with the Bundesliga club previously demanding £126m during talks with Bayern. But given that Liverpool are a foreign club, his asking price could be reduced. Wirtz wouldn't be the only Leverkusen player heading to Anfield, as the Reds have agreed to pay right-back Jeremie Frimpong's £29.5m release clause.
Bayern chiefs appear to have accepted that Wirtz has chosen to join Premier League champions Liverpool, whose officials with the Germany international and his parents near Blackpool last week. Liverpool's pitch impressed the Wirtz clan, who've given the green-light for a move to Merseyside after making his name in the Bundesliga.

The window is open!
The 2025 summer transfer window is open and it is set to get off to a flier with most of the Premier League ’s big guns expected to complete deals in the opening days.
That is predominantly on account of the controversial new Club World Cup that sees Chelsea and Manchester City head to the United States next week for a financially-lucrative month of action that many players are unhappy to be a part of. But its consequences are extending into this summer’s recruitment as some clubs race to make signings so their new faces can compete.
That includes Trent Alexander-Arnold signing for Real Madrid for £10m - despite being available for free at the end of the month. Equally several sides not competing in the CWC are getting active with Manchester United set to bring in Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m and Liverpool wrapping up a deal for Jeremie Frimpong, with Florian Wirtz potentially following right behind on the path from Leverkusen.
