Key takeaways

  • The Premier League window will open Monday, sparking a flurry of transfer activity and big spending across Europe before the rest do the same around July 1.
  • Clubs will be looking out for the best available players and, to help set the scene, we've split them up into positions and ranked them.
  • The players are largely ranked by how good they are, with potential transfer cost playing a minor role to settle some close calls.

Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.

The Premier League window will open Monday, sparking a flurry of transfer activity and big spending across Europe before the rest do the same around July 1.

Clubs will be looking out for the best available players and, to help set the scene, we've split them up into positions and ranked them.

It's important to note that we've included only realistically available players, so you won't find, say, Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes in the attacking midfield list, or Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembélé in the forwards list.
