When the European soccer season finishes the fans start dreaming about the superstar players their clubs will sign to change their fortunes.
Here’s five of the big transfer headlines that we can see happening in Europe over the summer.
1. Ronaldo Says Adios To Real Madrid – After another spectacular season with Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo decides he can’t live without the English weather anymore. But will he go back to Manchester or follow Jose Mourinho to Chelsea?
2. Neymar Does Europe – The hottest player in Brazil decides he’s ready to test himself in the Champions League, but how will he decide between Barcelona and Madrid, or even Munich?
3. Bale’s Too Hot For Spurs – After Tottenham Hotspur miss out on qualifying for next season’s Champions League, Gareth Bale, the hottest player in England, decides he can’t wait any longer. With all the top clubs in Europe keen to sign him he’ll have to decide does he stay in England or move abroad.
4. The Colombian Hitman – Radamel Falcao is reckoned by many experts to be the best striker in World football. Since joining Atletico Madrid from Porto two years ago he has been sensational, last week helping Atletico beat bitter rivals Real Madrid to win the Copa Del Rey. All the top clubs would want him to play for them, he just has to decide where he’d like to go next.
5. Rooney Does Another U-Turn. Three years ago Wayne Rooney announced he wanted to leave Man Utd, then signed a new contract and stayed. Now he’s announced he wants to leave again, but that was before the manager changed. Will he stay or will he go? If Ronaldo comes back to Man Utd, that could see him perform another U-Turn.
Let us know how likely you think each of these are and tell us what other transfers you’d like to see happen.
