Top 10 Possible Summer 2014 Transfers


1.       Lewandowski to Bayern Munich
-The Polish international has already announced his plans to sign a contract at Bayern, switching from his boyhood club Dortmund in another controversial move between the two clubs. With Lewandowski coming in, will Bayern sell one of their current strikers, like Mandzukic to make room for him?
2.       Falcao to Chelsea
-Falcao has long been linked with Chelsea and everyone was surprised when the Colombian international signed for Monaco in a big money move, which cost Monaco 50 million to get him from Atletico. Mourinho has fanned the flames on the rumors of Chelsea’s interest, but with his current long term injury will Chelsea make a big money risk? If he is brought in who will leave Chelsea? Torres, Ba, Eto’o?
3.       Luke Shaw to Chelsea, Man U or Liverpool
-It’s still hard to believe that the left back is only 18 years old. He is the hottest young English talent at the moment and all the big English clubs are circling. He will cost a pretty penny though, more than 20 million perhaps. Man U are on the lookout for a new left back with Evra due to leave at the end of the season but he is a known Chelsea fan, though Liverpool are also looking for a new left back and Rodgers probably willing to give him the most game time and champions league football next season it is hard to tell who will win this race.
4.       Victor Valdez to PSG or Monaco
-Valdez has already stated that he will not renew his contract at Barcelona, for some unknown reason. It is still unclear as to who will offer him the best deal for a free Bosman transfer. PSG and Monaco have been the ones most rumored to bring him in, though there are rumors of an English or Italian move for him. We will just have to wait and see if he will be any good without being on the best team in the world to back him up.
5.      Toni Kroos to Manchester United
-Kroos was close to moving to Man U earlier this year but a move never materialized. Man U signed Mata instead who hasn’t really made a difference for them yet. Kroos is a more defensive minded midfielder, all action which is what Man U are in desperate need of. It will be hard to prize him away from his boyhood club Bayern but it might be worth it.
6.       David Luiz to Barcelona
-Luiz has long been linked with a move to Barcelona, he has been seen as the replacement for the ageing Carlos Puyol. Chelsea have been adamant that he is not for sale but he has not been playing as much for Mourinho as he did in the past, so they might decide it is time to cash him in for a big payout.
7.       Van Persie to either Juventus, PSG or Arsenal
-This kid is a whiner. When things aren’t going his way he gets frustrated, doesn’t work hard and looks for a way out of the club. He seemed to really enjoy Sir Alex but now with his man crush retired be will probably be looking for a club to close his career with, my guess is out of the country with a big club like Juventus.
8.       Julian Draxler to Arsenal
-A deal for the young German international was close to happening in January but never came to pass. Schalke have been adamant that he will not leave anytime soon but they might decide to let him go in the summer, especially if they are unable to qualify for the champions league.
9.       Eliaqium Mangala to Manchester City
-Mangala has been linked with Man City for a while now. He has excelled with Porto over the past couple seasons and will probably make a big move soon. Man City are having some defensive worries with Demicellis making mistakes and Lescott out of favor with the manager. City surely have the money for it and will be looking to shore up their defense this summer.
1.   Mario Balotelli to Chelsea
-This is another rumor that Mourinho has fanned the flames with. Balotelli started his career with AC Milan quite well but this season has been a disaster for him and his team and they sit midtable right now. Mourinho has repeatedly been whining about his lack of good strikers and a move to Chelsea might benefit all involved as Mario did pretty well with City in England before.
