The Club World Cup has now put the summer transfer window on pause, and Premier League outfits must now wait until next week to complete any deals. Nevertheless, clubs are not expected to halt their ongoing business, with Liverpool and Manchester United locked in negotiations for respective stars.
The Reds are closing in on a £126million move for Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, with negotiations also ongoing with Bournemouth for Milos Kerkez. Ruben Amorim is similarly attempting to bolster his ranks, with Bryan Mbeumo and a new No. 9 expected to arrive sooner rather than later.
Arsenal and Chelsea are also in the market for a new striker, though the latter’s hopes of getting a deal over the line for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike in time for the Club World Cup were dashed earlier this week.
