One of the most promising upcoming players to look out for this summer is the highly rated Brazilian winger Estêvão Willian who will be joining Chelsea after the Club World Cup.
Estêvão Willian
His move to Palmeiras may be worth as much as 52 million, and he enters the game with an emerging reputation as a dribbler, playmaker and goalscorer, having already left his mark in Brazilian Serie A and as a youth representative.
Willian has been likened to the best of talents, such as Lamine Yamal, and he is also regarded as the possible game changer at Chelsea, especially at a time when the club will be rebuilding its attacking force.
Jobe Bellingham
Another young talent is Jobe Bellingham, who left Sunderland to Borussia Dortmund in a transfer that may reach up to 30 million pounds. Like his elder brother Jude, Jobe is mature and intelligent in the midfield due to his tender age. He was instrumental in helping Sunderland to get promoted and is now on a five year-contract to Dortmund where he is hoped to grow further and play a major part in their future.
Yan Couto
Another 22-year old right-back, Yan Couto, a Brazilian, will also hit the headlines as he moves permanently to Borussia Dortmund after Manchester City agreed a package of up to 25 million pounds with the German club.
Couto made a good impression on his loan at Girona in the La Liga, and Dortmund bought him by exercising the clause in his contract. He is considered an energetic and prospective defender who might become one of the locals of the Dortmund defense.
These are transfers that underscore a new crop of talent that will soon have an effect at some of the largest clubs in Europe, which both demonstrates the money being invested and the strategic emphasis on talent development of elite clubs.
Teams Making Headlines
There are certain clubs that have gone really hard on the transfer market this season. Manchester City, who are hoping to recover after a substandard season last year, have already spent more than 185 million trying to get new talent, and some of the biggest signings include the transfer of Rayan Ait-Nouri and Tijjani Reijnders.
This was when Liverpool hit the news with their historic purchase of Wirtz and this marked a clear indication that Liverpool wanted to be back on top. Chelsea, who have been a steady presence in the transfer market, have been swift to sign a number of well-known faces and are still being associated with a number of big transfers. Meanwhile, Manchester United is in the middle of a major rebuilding under new management and Cunha is already there and more reinforcements are on the way.
Notable Trends
It is setting up to become one of the most exciting transfer windows in recent history, full of daring and expectations. The clubs are spending a lot of money on acquiring young talent in which they hope to get the future star at an early age and create long-term success.
Release clauses have become a decisive determining factor and several transfers have been carried out the instant specified fees are met. The increased Club World Cup has created an additional sense of urgency that is affecting the timing and direction of most acquisitions. And there are several weeks to the deadline yet and the market seems to have more drama, surprises and headline-making moves to offer.
