Transfers this summer.
Darwin Nunez (Benfica – Liverpool)
In recent years, the Merseysiders haven’t spent much on strengthening themselves just once, before the 2019/20 season begins. The purchase of a promising Uruguayan from Benfica is indirectly explained by the departure of Sadio Mane at Bayern, with which the brilliant bond between Mane-Firmino-Salah collapsed. Darwin has a hard time adapting to Liverpool, however, appearing on the pitch and scoring points for the performance. At the same time, it is quite logical that now the attacker’s influence on the team’s play is minimal. Nunes must first learn Klopp’s ideas to be useful in the games.
Robert Lewandowski (Bayern – Barcelona)
A transition that has been in preparation for more than a year. On the Catalan side, the Pole went on the second attempt – after a goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano, many rejoiced that Robert was not used to tight custody. But in the next seven meetings, Lewandowski has 11 goals and 2 assists. He will add the blaugrane to the realization of the moments – Barça are already making an offer for the return of greatness, but words must be accompanied by deeds. This season will certainly be the most successful for the Polish striker: thanks to the new club, a dream come true and a great motivation at the beginning.
Christian Eriksen (Brentford) Manchester United)
The Dane quickly became one of United’s key figures and a conduit for coaching ideas. Eriksen and Fernandes are the ones who bring up the Mancunians with their footballing intelligence. McTominay improved with Christian, Malasia’s flank, and Sancho began acting with greater confidence. With the first pass, the Danish midfielder accelerates his scoring attacks. This is a clear reinforcement for Manchester Unitedand for Eriksen – a reward for making the leap to the toughest trials.
Sadio Mane (Liverpool – Bayern)
Everything is intertwined: Monaco, after releasing the top striker, take away the famous Merseysiders winger and buy young talent from Benfica. Mane has given a lot to Liverpool and has earned respect for his decisions: there is no negativity towards him for the transfer to Bayern. Nagelmann replaced Sadio at the forefront of the attack. The Senegalese felt a connection with Thomas Muller: being a false striker, Mane is not greedy and gives the ball to Thomas at the right time. The goals of the late Lewandowski are distributed to the whole team. By the way, it’s silly to say that no one noticed Robert’s departure: Bayern will have a slight drop (2 draws and one league defeat).
Paul Pogba (Manchester United – Juve
The Frenchman had to bring Allegri’s Juventus back to the top, as he did in recent seasons before leaving for United. Instead, Paul got injured during training and was out for a long time. The midfielder is more concerned that he will have to miss the world championship – because of the mundial, he wanted to be treated conservatively. In the end he was convinced of the operation, according to Allegri Pogba he will take the field only by January.
At the same time, without him, the “old lady” is terrible at the start of the season: two wins in the first nine games and one defeat of the newcomer to Serie A – Monza. Di Maria, who duplicates Paul’s qualities, she cannot pull the Bianconeri out of the dive alone: the team needs two think tanks.
Erling Haaland (Borussia D – Manchester City)
The Citizens suffered without a pioneering striker last season – Kevin De Bruyne took on some responsibilities. The Norwegians became for City the element they lacked for the functioning of the Guardiola system: completion. 11 goals in 7 games Premier League – the brightest indicator for the league rookie. Already now we can say that Erling, with his size and style of play, fits perfectly into the championship, where the emphasis is on athleticism and high pace. Perhaps it is precisely in this element that City need to win Champions League.
Aurélien Tchouameni (Monaco – Real Madrid)
The Monegasques have surrendered their most precious heritage to the creamy ones and have again sunk into the results. Ancelotti immediately understood how to use the recruit. Tchuameni appears at the start and in the league and in the European cups, he is second only to Kroos for number of passes (60 per game) and among the best for accuracy percentage. The Modric-Tchouameni-Kroos trio completes perfectly in the center of the field, Aurelien also offers a huge job with the ball. Thanks to the people of Madrid, a Frenchman’s name can resonate all over the world.
Raheem Sterling (Manchester City – Chelsea)
English has been an important part of Guardiola’s system on City’s left flank, although his share of influence has steadily declined in recent years. Chelsea, by buying Raheem, finally wanted to solve the eternal problem of the central striker (he, like Manet, has been pushed to the limit). According to the statistics in the first six rounds, we can say that Sterling copes with the task: 3 goals and an assist. It is not known how the change of manager will affect the blues, but such a step will at least alleviate the disputes between the mentor and the club’s executives. Tuchel found no mutual understanding with the new owners.
Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City – Arsenal)
The Gunners are constantly striving to become a healthy club with sane managers and a strong team. Jesus is a point earner he should play thanks to Arteta’s knowledge through SM. The Brazilian is a great finisher who does not differ from Arsenal’s fast concept. At the moment, Gaby is the top scorer of the Londoners, understanding the actions of Martinelli, Sack, Odegaard and Xhaka. In the near future, it is only necessary to strengthen the fiery beginning with stability.
