Now it's fair to say that the new Premier League season is less than four weeks away and still a long way off. Elite clubs have spent millions of dollars, but don't expect them to stop immediately when managers are desperate to bolster their squad.
Manchester United recently flew to Thailand for their pre-season tour, but fans are growing frustrated that the Red Devils have only completed one major contract so far and that Tyrell Malasia's transfer from Feyenoord is the only one completed. However, there could be a bright spot at the end of the tunnel as Manchester United are reportedly in talks with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Leandro Paredes.
In London, Raheem Sterling has reportedly received medical treatment from Chelsea ahead of an upcoming £50m transfer from Manchester City. The move is said to be popular with members of the blues team and it will be interesting to see how the English winger performs at Stamford Bridge. New owner Todd Boyley has also made progress in terms of players for the future. He is said to have signed a verbal contract with young Chicago Fire goaltender Gabriel Slonin. If Leeds captain Rapinha gets close to Barcelona, he could be removed from the Premier League. And with Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal still looking to put their money in, there are a lot of things to look out for in the coming weeks.
