The Saudis have not been as active or as extravagant this summer as they were in previous years, which is understandable. In the first wave of the football storm, they attracted big names with huge contracts and transfer fees. They then shifted their focus toward cheaper, younger players, and now they are competing for players in their prime who are established internationals for Europe’s strongest national teams. Al Hilal are following that logic and will try to seriously shake up the transfer market over the next two weeks with two major signings. The Saudi giants have Pedro Neto of Chelsea and Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa in their sights.🚨 JUST IN: Karim Benzema is expected to LEAVE Al-Hilal.

Juventus is doing yet another ‘reconstruction’ of the team, this time under the watch of Luciano Spaletti and he wants refreshment in every department, starting with defense. And the sporting sector is listening to its coach. The Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was Juventus’ first alternative to Liverpool’s Alisson on their shortlist at the start of the transfer window.

At the same time, because of Financial Fair Play considerations and the desire to spend more money on reinforcements in attack and defence, Juventus had been looking from the outset for either a loan with an option to buy or a permanent deal costing no more than 10 million euros, including bonuses.BREAKING: Juventus have agreed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur to sign Guglielmo Vicario on an initial season-long..

They signed goalkeeper Karl Rushworth (25) permanently from Brighton, strengthened the defense with Orel Amand from Eintracht Frankfurt (for 18 million euros), and also brought in the expensive winger Loum Tchaouna from Burnley (23,000,000 euros). Then came several central midfielders, the most expensive being Caleb Yirenkyi from Nordsjælland (27,000,000 euros), so it was only natural to expect Frank Lampard to turn his attention to forwards in the final stages of the transfer window.
