Premier League clubs are starting to accelerate their transfer plans now that Euro 2024 has drawn to a close. Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all set to see their summer targets return to their respective sides imminently, in what is likely to be their cue to kickstart negotiations.
Chelsea and United were both in need of rebuilds this summer, and both have already welcomed new arrivals as a result. The Blues have signed Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Marc Guiu – among others – as part of their much-needed overhaul.
United’s need for fresh faces was highlighted by their underwhelming 1-0 defeat by Rosenborg earlier this week, just days after announcing the signing of Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. Further new signings are expected at Old Trafford soon, with Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt admired.

The right-back is said to be keen to join Los Blancos this summer, with his contract at Anfield expiring in 2025 and a fresh deal yet to be agreed.

City plot £100m hijack of United targetManchester City are reportedly ‘eyeing’ Benfica playmaker Joao Neves.
The midfielder has been heavily linked with making a move away from Portugal this summer, with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain among his suitors.
O Jogo report that City are also firmly in the race to sign the 19-year-old, with the Etihad Stadium outfit aware that they will need to activate his £100million release clause if they are to welcome Neves to their squad.
City have a strong Portuguese core in their dressing room already, with Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva both key characters behind the scenes.
Real Madrid set to lodge second Yoro bidReal Madrid are reportedly set to table a second offer for Lille defender Leny Yoro, who is prioritising a Bernabeu switch over Manchester United.
It’s claimed that Real, who saw a £25m bid rejected by Lille previously, will make a second attempt to secure the signature of the centre-back imminently.
United have already sealed a £52m agreement with Lille and are said to be pushing for Yoro’s signature. Liverpool are monitoring his situation from afar.
Chelsea eye Arsenal targetChelsea are reportedly interested in signing Wolves star Pedro Neto.
The winger has been heavily linked with Arsenal over the past few seasons, with Mikel Arteta’s side still among his suitors.
According to Simon Phillips, Chelsea have now joined the race to secure the signature of Neto.
The agents of the forward are said to have contacted the Blues to ask whether the 24-year-old is among their considerations this summer, to which Chelsea confirmed that he was – though Neto’s recurring injury problems are a cause for concern internally at Stamford Bridge.
