While the team is still keeping its eye open, they have already recruited England`s Under 19 player Joe Gomez, with Manchester City midfielder James Milner also scheduled to join them on July 1st (subject to medical).
While Gomez, is capable of playing well both at the central and full-back positions, is someone to watch out for in the future, many believe that Milner, who will be given Liverpool`s famous #7 jersey, will succeed unlike many other known names, who struggled at Anfield after having a promising start with the iconic number.

- Previous Team : Chelsea FC
- New Team: Arsenal FC
- Transfer fee:Unknown
Though Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho wanted to keep Cech at Stamford Bridge, with 23 year old Thibaut Courtois, becoming Chelsea’s first-choice keeper last season, the club ended up giving permission to Cech to look and talk to other clubs, even though he still had one year left on his deal.After spending 11 years at Chelsea, it is believed that the Blues are finally ready to let the Czech Republic player go, with Arsenal close to signing a deal with Chelsea.
In his 11 years with the Blues, the legendary goalkeeper made more than 300 appearances for Chelsea and won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups, one Champions League and one Europa League title with the club.

- Age: 29
- Position: Defender
- Current Team: Real Madrid FC
- Target Team: Manchester United FC
- Transfer fee: Still under discussion
Madrid have even tried to put United off by slapping a £65m price tag, but it seems the team is increasingly concerned that they might have to sell Ramos off as he seems determined to leave the Bernabeu after being with Madrid for 10 years.One of the biggest transfer talks for this season is that between Spanish giants Real Madrid and Old Trafford’s Manchester United. Spanish defender Sergio Ramos is one of the top transfer targets for Louis van Gaal this summer and Madrid, afraid of losing Ramos has been turning down bid after bid from Manchester United to get Ramos to stay.
1) Real Madrid’s talks to David de Gea

- Age: 24
- Position: Goalkeeper
- Current Team: Manchester United FC
- Target Team: Real Madrid FC
- Transfer fee: Still under discussion
Though 24 year Spaniard just has a year left in his contract, Madrid has been keen to get Gea back home and get him as a team’s goalkeeper ASAP. But with United, putting £20million as asking price, it seems De Gea will be forced to spend another year with United as Madrid has flat out refused to pay that amount for player who they can get for free in a year’s time.While Ramos might be the center of Manchester United’s transfer interest, Spanish team Real Madrid doesn’t seem to be far behind and seem to be showing equal interest in United’s goalkeeper David de Gea.
United had signed De Gea from Atletico Madrid back in 2011 for a record cost of £18million. Though De Gea had initially a shaky start, he later went on win the league title at Old Trafford and is now considered one of the best goalkeepers in EPL.
