The Premier League is presented as a race for everyone against Manchester City, who have won four of the last five editions and has been reinforced with Erling Braut Haaland, the great signing of the summer, but not the most expensive in the English League. That place belongs to the Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, for whom Liverpool has paid 75 million euros to Benfica, which can reach 100 in variables.
The Liverpool is once again the most serious threat to City, with a Chelsea who tries to rediscover the path of success, a Arsenal full of youth and quality that has been reinforced to try to climb that step that is missing to return to the Champions League and a Tottenham who continues with his eternal search for success. And then there’s the Manchester Unitedembarked on a new reconstruction to try to be competitive again and of which It is unknown how everything that happened with Cristiano Ronaldo will affect him. Erik Ten Hagformer Ajax coach, will lead a team that has incorporated the good Argentine central defender Lisandro Martinezalso from Ajax and for which he has paid 57 million, to the promising Dutch left-back Malacia (Feyenoord) and the Danish midfielder Separately, who arrives free from Brentford, where he showed that he has forgotten his heart problem. they have left Pogba, Cavani, Juan Mata, Lingard, Matic and Andreas Pereira.

He has passed on Sterling to Chelsea for 56 million and Gabriel Jesús for 52 to Arsenalwhich has also taken the Ukrainian Zinchenko (35 millions). Between Sterling and Gabriel Jesús they scored 30 goals last season (17 for the English and 13 for the Brazilian), a figure that Haaland will have to compensate, for which he has paid 60 million to Borussia Dortmund, with the help of the Argentine Julian Alvarez, for which he paid 17 million to River Plate in January and which is now incorporated. To reinforce the midfield, the Premier League champion has invested almost 49 million in the dazzling Kalvin Phillipswho marveled at Leeds.
In addition to Sterling, Chelsea have hired the central defender Koulibaly, after paying 38 million to Napoli, in the hope that it will cover the huge hole created by Rüdiger’s departure to Real Madrid and also Christensen’s departure to Barcelona. He won’t miss Lukaku so much, who never fully adapted to Tuchel’s plans. He has recovered on loan as the midfielder Conor Gallagherwho shone at the Crystal Palace, and the promising Albanian striker Armando Broja (Southampton).
The Portuguese midfielder Fábio Carvalho is the other great signing of Liverpool, who has lost Mané (Bayern), Neco Williams (Forest), Minamino (Monaco) and Origi (Milan). He managed to renew Mo Salah, who will once again be the great reference of a team that once again aspires to win everything.

The central botman (Lille, 37 million) is the great signing of the Newcastle, which many pointed to as the great protagonist of the market and has not gone from being one more entertainer. Much more active have been the Leeds and the Nottingham Forest, which returns to the Premier 23 years later and has signed 11 playersalthough his most attractive footballer will continue to be the Welshman Brennan Johnson (21 years old), a playmaker of enormous talent.
