L’Hull City ha preso lo svincolato Steve Harper, ex-Newcastle, il Sunderland ha continuato la sua campagna di rafforzamento ingaggiando l’ala italiana Emanuele Giaccherini dalla Juventus per 6,5 milioni che diventa quindi il nono acquisto estivo dei “Black Cats”, mentre Danny Graham lascia il Sunderland per andare all’Hull City.
Il veterano attaccante Kevin Phillips arriva alla neo-promossa Crystal Palace dal Blackpool.
Tre grandi giocatori hanno lasciato invece la Premier League, Maicon lascia il Manchester City per andare alla Roma, Florent Malouda lascia il Chelsea per approdare al Trabzonspor a parametro zero e Andre Santos lascia l’Arsenal per tornare in Brasile nel Flamengo dopo due stagioni con i Gunners.
Nelle trattative di spicco in corso, il Manchester Utd. ha offerto 25 milioni al Barcellona per Cesc Fabregas, per ora rifiutata, ma si aspetta il rilancio dello United, l’Arsenal ha preparato un’offerta di 40 milioni per Luis Suarez del Liverpool e il Chelsea ha proposto 25 milioni per Wayne Rooney, per ora rifiutata, meno di un mese all’inizio della nuova stagione, di sicuro ne vedremo delle belle !
