The 5 best attackers for Barcelona to sign in summer 2025 transfer window

Barcelona have the most exciting attacking football in the world right now and recently flexed that might with an incredible, potentially title-deciding 4-2 comeback win over Atletico Madrid. But Barcelona are always looking to get even better offensively. There are two opportunities to make upgrades for the future, as Barca currently don't have a true right-footed left winger. With Robert Lewandowski getting older at 36, there is also the opportunity to go for a young striker who can split minutes with the Polish legend and eventually supplant the former Bundesliga superstar. Here are five star attackers worth Barca's time in the summer 2025 transfer market. Eintracht Frankfurt ST Hugo Ekitike Hugo Ekitike has found his footing in Frankfurt and become one of the most must-see p...

3 best Joao Felix alternatives for AC Milan on summer 2025 transfer market

AC Milan acquired Joao Felix on loan from Chelsea this season in the hopes that he would spice up their attack, but the Rossoneri have quickly found out what the Blues, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona already did before them; Felix is not someone who can be relied on. As Milan's attack has disappointed this season with summer striker signing Alvaro Morata making his way to Galatasaray in the winter, the club must regroup and find alternatives to players like Felix, who, per Calciomercato, isn't going to be staying in Milan permanently with an option to buy of 41-45 million euros. So with Felix set to exit Milan again, here are three players the Rossoneri could sign in the summer 2025 transfer window as an alternative. Matheus Cunha, Wolves An attacking midfielder and center forward,...

7 players Chelsea must sell in summer 2025 transfer window to buy a top forward

After signing Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo to add two of Portugal's best young talents to their ranks, Chelsea will be eyeing attacking help next as they look to go from top-four contenders to legitimate Premier League title contenders in the 2025/26 season. According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, the priority for Chelsea in the summer 2025 transfer window is to sign a new striker and winger, and they are prepared to sell seven to eight players in order to clear out space for two more marquee attacking signings after the trio of Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, and Jadon Sancho failed to make an impact this season. So here are seven players Chelsea could sacrifice in the summer 2025 transfer window. CB Axel Disasi Chelsea loaned Axel Disasi to Aston Villa this year, and while the for...

How good is Dario Essugo, what is his playing style, and how does he fit Chelsea?

After securing the signing of 17-year-old Sporting CP phenom Geovany Quenda, Chelsea have made another major maneuver on the transfer market ahead of the summer 2025 window by signing another tremendous, young breakout star from the Lisbon-based giants. According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have completed the medical and reached an official agreement with Sporting for the signing of defensive midfielder Dario Essugo, who has been one of the best players in his role in LaLiga this season while on loan at Las Palmas. The 20-year-old will join Chelsea in the summer 2025 transfer window on a deal worth 22 million euros, meaning the Blues will be spending only a half to a third of the price they paid for Quenda (48 million euros, per Fab) - and a mere sixth of what they paid...

Rating four potential Alexander Isak transfer destinations in summer 2025

Newcastle star striker Alexander Isak has now become a bona fide superstar in the Premier League this season, and with 19 goals and 5 assists for the Magpies, there are even some who believe that the Swedish international has overtaken Erling Haaland as the best No. 9 in the English top flight. Isak will command a gargantuan fee well above 100 million pounds in the summer 2025 transfer window, if he even moves at all. But if there's ever a chance of the Champions League-aspiring Newcastle Magpies to sell Isak this year, here are four teams that will be involved in the sweepstakes. Each team is rated on the overall fit, likelihood of a transfer, and what they can offer Isak. Liverpool Liverpool have been the best team in the Premier League this season, bar none, owning a 15-point le...

3 left wingers Bayern Munich can sign in summer 2025 transfer window

With Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry clearly on the decline, Bayern Munich are in the market for some more help on the left wing. They already have solutions at striker, attacking midfielder, and right winger in Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, and Michael Olise, but they need more depth out wide for the 2025/26 season. Bryan Zaragoza, back in LaLiga on loan, is one option on the left wing next season, but Bayern should hedge their bets with another player who can offer more dynamism and be on the pitch more frequently than Coman or Gnabry at this stage of their successful careers. So here are a trio of left wingers Bayern Munich could feasibly sign in the summer 2025 transfer window. Nico Williams, Athletic Club Nico Williams continues to be linked with a move to Bavaria, per BILD's chi...

Arsenal prioritizing a better winger than Leroy Sane in summer 2025 window

Arsenal are in the market for attacking help in the summer 2025 transfer window after paying the price of not signing a top striker in summer 2024, which has been complete annihilation at the hands of Liverpool in the 2024/25 Premier League table. The Gunners will almost assuredly be after a striker in the upcoming summer market, and there is a gamut of strong, emerging options up top such as Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, Viktor Gyokeres, Alexander Isak, and potentially more. But Arsenal don't just need a new striker to spice up the attack. The North London giants should also be looking for more wingers. A right winger to back Bukayo Saka up would be nice, but someone to compete heavily with Gabriel Martinelli on the left side should be nearly as big of a priority as a striker. Th...

Arsenal have a staggering transfer budget for summer 2025 window

Arsenal have been criticized for not being aggressive enough in the summer transfer window, and they paid for it dearly this season by falling well and truly out of the Premier League title race after failing to sign a striker in summer 2024. Now, the Gunners are firmly in the market for a top striker in the summer 2025 transfer window, but they have also been linked to two world-class midfielders in Bruno Guimaraes and Martin Zubimendi, who will reportedly be the priorities of the new sporting director. GiveMeSport insider Ben Jacobs corroborates this information and adds in his own report that Arsenal will have a whopping 300 million pounds to spend in the coming transfer window. That's major cash that Arsenal can use to sign both those midfielders - if they want to - and still ...

Arsenal’s new sporting director is prioritizing two world-class midfield transfers

Arsenal have hired former Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta to lead the club in the same role, replacing Edu, who left the Gunners in early November of last year to head up the Nottingham Forest project (among a group of clubs). Berta has the task of turning Arsenal into a Premier League champion again. It's been decades since Arsenal last reached the very summit of the Premier League, and while they came close to winning it all in each of the past two seasons, the Gunners have fallen far behind in the 2024/25 season. With the struggles in front of goal this season, Arsenal clearly need to sign a top striker after balking on addressing the position in the summer 2024 transfer window. But even after signing one of the best midfielders in LaLiga last year in Mikel Merino, ...

The 3 worst contracts Chelsea must get rid of in summer 2025 transfer window

Here are three terrible contracts notorious spenders Chelsea must offload in the summer 2025 transfer market. All wage details come via FBRef.com. LB Marc Cucurella Even with the caveat that it helped facilitate the move for starting center back Levi Colwill, the Marc Cucurella transfer has to be one of the worst in Premier League history as a 65 million euro acquisition for a below-average left back who is more known for memes and controversy rather than his thoroughly underwhelming play on the pitch. Chelsea haven't had a competent left back in a long time, and Cucurella is only starting because Ben Chilwill could never get healthy. Although the best ability is availability, as many like to say now, Cucurella pretty much only has that going for him. At 9.1 million pounds per sea...
