I always thought summer 2025 was preferable in terms of getting top talent to replace the likes of KDB, Bernardo etc.
The market is awful this summer. Lots of new managers going into top clubs with new ideas will likely mean star players stay to give the manager a chance (Kompany at Bayern)
Two international tournaments isn’t ideal for conducting major business either as players will be focused on tournaments until mid July.
Summer 2025 is when top talent could be unsettled - Musiala, Wirtz, Rodrygo to name a few. Contracts will have run down by a further year. Targets could be more attainable
I reckon it’ll be release clause type deals for us this summer. In terms of our outgoings, I think there is a real chance we lose KDB and Alvarez. I also think Eddie and Bernardo stay
