The 'craziness' of the transfer window is intensifying at the moment, featuring a lot of drama, speculations, surprise packages and mouth-watering possibilities as European powerhouses involve themselves in an intense battle in the market.
Cristiano Ronaldo once again proved to us that nothing is impossible in football. After spending 9 incredible years at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Portuguese took a decision that sent shockwaves across the globe, leaving Real Madrid and completing a famous move to join Italian champions, Juventus this summer.
While the attacker's mega-switch has been branded 'incredible' and endorsed by many, more of such transfers are still expected to take place before the transfer window runs out. With several clubs still ready to splash the cash in order to sign the finest players from the market, we take a look at 5 interesting transfers that we would love to witness this summer:
#5 Yerry Mina (Barcelona to Liverpool)
Premier League giants, Liverpool have gone all-out with their activities in the transfer market as they plan to strengthen major areas of their squad before the upcoming campaign.
Having already signed the likes of Fabinho, Naby Keita, Alisson Beker and Xherdan Shaqiri, the Reds are still eyeing an incredible player to bolster their defensive line, with reports linking them with Barcelona superstar, Yerry Mina.
Mina joined Barcelona from the Brazilian side, Gremio in January. Although he is yet to become a regular at the Camp Nou, the youngster seized the FIFA World Cup as an opportunity to showcase his incredible abilities for the world to see.
He was one of the most impressive youngsters of the tournament, producing a lot of scintillating displays as well as scoring 3 goals to help his nation reach the quarterfinals of the competition.
By virtue of his incredible performances in Russia, it is evident that the Colombia International can form a rigid defensive wall alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the Anfield. He is a young defender with immense talent, capable of playing the ball on the ground, producing rock-solid displays at the back and busting forward to score vital headers.
#4 Thiago Alcantara (Bayern Munich to Barcelona)
There is no denying that La Liga champions, FC Barcelona need to sign to sign a world-class midfielder to represent the club in the upcoming campaign. Without much stress, one player that perfectly suits the role is Bayern Munich midfielder, Thiago Alcantara.
Thiago is a player who is well recognized in the Catalan capital. The 27-year-old graduated from Barca's famous academy, La Masia and made it into the first team in 2009.
However, after failing to secure a spot for himself in the line up due to the presence of his idols, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, the Spaniard eventually departed the club and linked up with Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich in 2013.
Now that his idols are no more at the club, Thiago has been urged to come back and take his place in the Barcelona midfield. A return to Catalonia will be a great move for both the player and the club, due to the decent relationship that exists between the two parties.
In fact, it can be likened to the return home of a legend as the reception at the Camp Nou would be quite incomparable.
#3 Ousmane Dembele (Barcelona to Arsenal)
New Arsenal manager, Unai Emery has come to the Premier League with great determination. After taking over from Arsene Wenger in May, the Spaniard has been working hard to prepare the Gunners for the new Premier League campaign.
Despite already adding a couple of players to his squad, the tactician is still looking forward to luring a talented attacker to the Emirates stadium and he has reportedly identified Barcelona youngster, Ousmane Dembele as his perfect reinforcement option.
The attacker left Borussia Dortmund for Catalonia during the summer of 2017, but, after suffering 2 severe injuries during his debut season at Barcelona, he has failed to secure a place for himself in Ernesto Valverde's line up.
With the Blaugrana signing another winger recently, the Frenchman is reportedly considering his future at the Camp Nou, which comes as a great opportunity for Arsenal to lure him away from the Catalan capital.
Going all-out for the youngster seems to be a decent suggestion for the Gunners at the moment. If Unai Emery succeeds in getting his target, Dembele would link-up with some of his former teammates, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Henrik Mkhitaryan in London and we could witness one of the best telepathic attacking trios in football history.
What a transfer that would be!
#2 Paul Pogba (Manchester United to Juventus)
In what could become one of the most interesting transfer deals of the summer, Manchester United superstar, Paul Pogba could end up joining Cristiano Ronaldo by completing a move to Juventus.
The 25-year-old is reportedly considering his future at the Old Trafford after falling under favour with Jose Mourinho. Juventus have also kept an eye on the midfielder, with several speculations surrounding the future of Miralem Pjanic at the club.
If Pjanic eventually leaves the Seria A this summer, there is every possibility that the Bianconeri will come hunting for Pogba.
A return to the Allianz stadium would make sense for the Frenchman, considering that he had his breakthrough there, establishing himself as a global star before joining the Premier League in 2016. Moreover, the kind of reception he would receive from the fans in Turin would make this deal an amazing one.
#1 Eden Hazard (Chelsea to Real Madrid)
European champions, Real Madrid lost an important figure when Cristiano Ronaldo left the club to complete a famous move to Juventus this summer.
His departure has put Los Blancos in a desperate position to sign another incredible superstar as a replacement, with Chelsea playmaker, Eden Hazard emerging as one of the favourites to fill the shoes of the Portuguese at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Hazard himself welcomed the speculations surrounding him and refused to rule out a move to the Spanish capital. Speaking in a recent interview during the World Cup, the 27-year-old was quoted saying:
"It's true that Zidane is special but Real Madrid would be a dream for anyone,"
"With or without Zidane the Real Madrid shirt is special.''
The playmaker is one of the most talented attackers in the world at the moment, making him an ideal option to replace Ronaldo at Madrid. In fact, everyone is expecting the Belgian to switch to Santiago Bernabeu and that could be one of the most interesting transfers of summer.
