If various Premier League giants are willing to part with serious cash this summer, all eleven of these superstars could be playing in the English top flight next season…
This side is enough to get fans of the Premier League anticipating the start of the 2014/15 campaign already!
GK) Iker Casillas – Real Madrid
It seems absurd that one of the world’s greatest ever keepers will be playing second fiddle to another stopper for a third consecutive season. Casillas sits on the bench in La Liga, and could admit it’s time to move this summer after collecting another Champions League title with his boyhood club. Santi Cazorla has encouraged him to consider signing for the Gunners.
DR) Serge Aurier – Toulouse
Aurier was voted into the Ligue 1 team of the Year last term, thanks to his six goals and six assists from right-back. As a result, he’s going to the World Cup with the Ivory Coast, and could be arriving at the Emirates to replace Bacary Sagna as well.
DC) Mats Hummels – Borussia Dortmund
Man United have earmarked Hummels as their prime target to replace the departing Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
DC) Mehdi Benatia – AS Roma
Moroccan defender Benatia excelled in Serie A last term, and has earned the attention of Premier League giants Manchester City and Chelsea, who could be willing to pay up to £30m for his signature.
DL) Alberto Moreno – Sevilla
Liverpool have already tabled a bid a £16m plus Suso bid for the 21-year-old Spanish international, and it looks like they’ll move heaven and earth to secure his deal to fix the problem left-back position.
MC) Cesc Fabregas – Barcelona
Man United are apparently not interested in Fabregas anymore, but if he truly is available, surely Arsenal and Manchester City will battle it out for his signature. He’s wonderfully creative, and proved at Arsenal earlier in his career that he’s more than capable of performing in the English top flight. Barcelona though, have hinted that he may stay at the Nou Camp.
MC) Toni Kroos – Bayern Munich
According to reports, Chelsea have joined the race for Bayern’s brilliant German, who is said to be the prime target for new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal. The Blues will have a job convincing him to sign though, with the player recently claiming that he expected to stay with Pep Guardiola’s oufit.
AMR) Angel Di Maria – Real Madrid
Di Maria doesn’t want to play for Spurs, but other Premier League sides will surely be interested in his services – after the Argentine flyer admitted he could move on this summer.
AMC) Xherdan Shaqiri – Bayern Munich
Liverpool have earmarked the talented Swiss as a potential alternative to Adam Lallana. He’s quick, stocky and powerful, and can shoot brilliantly from outside the box. He could be ready to move to play more first-team football.
AML) Antoine Griezmann – Real Sociedad
The French international bagged an outstanding 16 goals from the left wing for Real Sociedad last term in La Liga. His form earned him the attention of Arsenal, although they’ll do well to beat Ligue 1 champions PSG to his signature!
FC) Diego Costa – Atletico Madrid
Costa has all but sealed a £32m move to Stamford Bridge to join Chelsea. He’ll spearhead Jose Mourinho’s side next season – hoping to replicate his wonderful 36 goal campaign.
