3) Juan Cuadrado (Fiorentina to Manchester United)
Reports in the last few days suggest that Manchester United may now be the favourites to beat Barcelona to the signing of Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado. The Colombian international, valued at around £30m, was superb in Serie A last term and with his national side at this summer’s World Cup, and looks the ideal signing to come in and play that right-wing-back role in Louis van Gaal’s new-look 3-5-2 formation, with his superb energy and qualities in both defence and attack.
