PARIS, June 9 — The summer transfer window officially opens in England tomorrow with Premier League clubs again set to splash the cash while the futures of a selection of out-of-contract stars dominate headlines on the continent.
With the financial rewards only getting greater, the chances are English clubs will again collectively splash more than £1 billion on transfers, as they have done in the last six summer windows. Yet it is often the transfers happening beyond the Premier League’s biggest clubs that confirm just how powerful England’s elite have become.
Kylian Mbappe allowed his contract at Paris Saint-Germain to come to an end before opting to stay in the French capital rather than sign for Real Madrid. Others like Sadio Mane at Liverpool and Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich are ready to move on and know their clubs must sell now if they don’t want to lose them for free when their contracts expire next year.
After two years of enforced belt-tightening due to the pandemic and the collapse of a lucrative broadcasting deal with Mediapro, the outlook is now brighter for French clubs in general.
