And with big players comes big transfer fees, with these ten picked out below looking like potential signings that could see top clubs break their previous transfer records, with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City all tipped to spend big to improve their squads this season.
These moves could see some truly world class players heading to the Premier League, with fees rising all the time as the demand for top players grows and grows.
See below for these exciting and expensive deals that could see clubs smash their previous transfer record fees:
With an asking price of £47m to ward off potential suitors, Borussia Dortmund star Mats Hummels would become Arsenal’s most expensive player ever if he did move to the Emirates Stadium this January, with this fee eclipsing the £42.5m they paid to sign Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid last season.
Valued at £48m by Atletico Madrid, exciting young midfielder Koke is attracting plenty of interest this January, with both Chelsea and Manchester City chasing him. Although he would not be more expensive than £50m Fernando Torres for the Blues, he would become City’s most expensive purchase ever, moving ahead of Sergio Aguero, who was also signed from Atletico back in 2011.
An ambitious transfer target for Liverpool, it is reported that a deal could be struck for the Reds to sign Real Madrid’s world class striker Karim Benzema for £38m this January, which would be £3m more than their current club-record purchase…Andy Carroll.
A player they lost for free as a youngster, Juventus starlet Paul Pogba has now been linked with a sensational return to Manchester United for a whopping £60m, which would narrowly put him ahead of Angel Di Maris as the club’s most expensive buy of all time.
6) Strootman to Manchester United
In an even more expensive deal, Manchester United could make Kevin Strootman their most expensive player ever if they meet AS Roma’s staggering £75m asking price for the Dutchman, who would then also be the most expensive signing in the history of British football.
Linked several times with Chelsea after his superb breakthrough season last year, Everton starlet Ross Barkley is valued at a stunning £60m by his club, which would make him the Blues’ most expensive ever purchase.
Likewise, Manchester City are also chasing Barkley and would smash their previous transfer record of £38m for Sergio Aguero if they bring the exciting young England international to the Etihad Stadium in a £60m deal.
In another exciting deal involving Arsenal, Edinson Cavani could make his way from Paris Saint-Germain to the Emirates Stadium in a deal worth £55m, which would be by far their most expensive ever signing, ahead of £42.5m Mesut Ozil and even £47m target Mats Hummels.
Reports suggest Real Madrid may be willing to sell Gareth Bale to Chelsea, but only for a world-record £90m fee, which would also be a stunning £40m more than Chelsea’s previous transfer record fee paid to sign Fernando Torres from Liverpool back in 2011.
Likewise, Bale could also become Manchester United’s most expensive ever signing by quite some way if he follows Angel Di Maria in swapping Real Madrid for Old Trafford in the near future, with speculation that this highly ambitious move could be possible.
