Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is looking to bolster his already talented squad with the addition of a defender from Serie A. Reports suggest that the club is willing to spend £103 million on the player, making him one of the most expensive defenders in the transfer market. Meanwhile, Juventus' Matthijs de Ligt is rumored to be unhappy and looking for a move to Spain, with Barcelona also eyeing potential upgrades in their defense for the upcoming season.
After weeks of negotiations, Manchester United have secured a deal with Paris Saint-Germain to bring in talented midfielder Manuel Ugarte from the French club. This comes as no surprise as Man Utd has been on the hunt for a top-class defensive midfielder and Ugarte has long been their top target. Despite considering other players, Man Utd ultimately sealed the deal with Ugarte, reaching a 'total agreement' with PSG. The transfer was confirmed by several top sources, including Fabrice Hawkins and Fabrizio Romano, making it a monumental feat for the club. Ugarte is set to become Man Utd's fifth summer signing, joining other newcomers Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui.
Bayern Munich Sporting Director Max Eberl has taken a dig at Chelsea's approach to squad management, pointing out that having an inflated squad is not a recipe for success. He emphasized the importance of giving young players opportunities and maintaining a well-balanced team.

Many experts question their plans for the upcoming season.
Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has justified selling Matthijs de Ligt to Manchester United by saying they can't have a bloated squad like Chelsea. Man Utd completed their signing of De Ligt last week, along with Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro. However, they are still in the market for more additions, including Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte. Ten Hag, De Ligt's former coach at Ajax, has admitted that the player has failed to live up to expectations since his big-money move to Juventus in 2019.
As the highly anticipated 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League season begins, Manchester United takes on Fulham with a new look team.

Amad Diallo and Marcus Rashford flank Bruno Fernandes, who could potentially line up as a false nine in this exciting start to the season.
Despite already securing transfers for Bruno Fernandes, Noussair Mazraoui, and Matthijs de Ligt, Manchester United continues to be embroiled in transfer rumors and speculation. Jadon Sancho's potential move to PSG is still up in the air, while Napoli and Fulham have both expressed interest in loan deals for Scott McTominay.
