The transfer window is currently on and we can see clubs across the globe empowering their squad ahead of the 2022/23 season which I believe will be exciting and more competitive than the previous season, I felt excited and just can't wait for the new season to commence.
We do be seeing some league competitive fixtures before the leagues kick off later in August, the community shield between Manchester City and Liverpool plus many others will come up earlier but it still doesn't feel like the league's proper actions.
There have been some powerful moves between clubs, players are seeking greener pastures while some just want enough playing time. We have seen players leave the big clubs for a smaller place just because they needed more time on the field of play, it is the other way around for some players who just want to join the big names for the sake of winning titles for their name.
It is not surprising to see that the English Premier League is connected to every big deal out there, it is either the Premier League clubs are letting go of a big name or signing a big name.
Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich
I don't know how many people feel about the deal but Sadio Mane moving to the Bundesliga is one of the biggest deals in the ongoing transfer window. The Senegalese have won it all with the Premier League side and taking on a new challenge is a great thing for Mane. Attracting the attention of a club like Bayern Munich will only make it easier for him to flourish judging by the team firepower at the moment, the club has dominated the Bundesliga and that's a good thing for the ex-Liverpool man.
Mane's impact on Liverpool is huge and he will definitely be a good resource for Bayern Munich, the club is in a good condition before his arrival but looking at it from the Uefa Champions League angle, he might just fill up the gap for the Bundesliga Champions.
He is part of the Liverpool squad that reached the Uefa Champions League three times, he contributed to all the campaigns and he could boost Bayern Munich's chances at the Uefa level. His contract was supposed to end in 2023 but the club honored the player's desire to leave, it is a win-win case for both parties since Liverpool made money from the deal, and Mane also got his desire fulfilled.
Bayer Munich paying £35m for Mane wasn't bad for his age, I don't know how much he is going to win with the club but he is going to mark his name with gold in the heart of the Munich fan just like the Liverpool fans will continue to cherish the time he spent with the club.
Robert Lewandoski remaining in the club might deprive him of the no. 9 position but that doesn't stop Mane from flourishing because of his ability to play any position in attack, I am just so confident about his success in Germany.
Erling Haaland to Manchester City.
Manchester City securing the signature of the ex-Dortmund striker tells how much the club is willing to dominate in all competitions this season, their success in the Premier League is outstanding but Pep Guardiola is yet to bring to reality the Manchester City dream in the Uefa Champions League and a prolific striker could be of great help to the club in the coming season.
Haaland is known for his goalscoring ability, injury got the best of the Norway striker in the previous season but he still didn't disappoint his fans. He was only able to play in 29 matches in all competitions last season and he scored 29 goals as well, that's a remarkable stats if I must say.
Gabriel Jesus has been Manchester City no. 9 for quite some time but the Brazilian hasn't lived up to Pep Guardiola's expectations and he might lose his position if he remains in the club alongside Haaland.
I believe Haaland can make it big in Manchester City, the club is big and they will definitely help him since he has the likes of Foden, De Bruyne, Silva, and many others to support him. Haaland Champion's league stats are outstanding and I believe that Manchester City will do him better good than Borussia Dortmund, he played 13 UCL matches with Dortmund and scored 15 goals which mean he can do better with Manchester City. It would be a great success for him if his impact helps the English team fulfill their Champions league dreams, I hope he settles in well in the Premier League; the new challenge will definitely require him to work harder.
It is a good deal for Manchester City and Haaland, he was brought in with £51m excluding the release clause, and the Norwegian will earn around over £350k which is huge.
Darwin Nunez to Liverpool
I didn't know this guy until Liverpool played against Benfica in the Uefa Champions League and Jurgen Klopp didn't disappoint us with his legacy of signing players that gave his side problem in the match, we saw how he troubled Liverpool in the UCL, and I think the club might have made the right decision signing him with the exit of Sadio Mane in the club.
Talking about goals, the Uruguayan scored 34 goals in 39 matches last season. It would be great if he becomes a Liverpool goal machine in the long run, playing alongside Salah, Firmino, and others should definitely help him continue his scoring form in the English Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp believes so much in the former Benfica forward and he might be right just like he did with Mane, Firmino, Jota, Robertson, and others. He is one coach who is good when it comes to making good choices about signing players and for him to be in Liverpool means he has got the potential to help the club to succeed.
Liverpool ended the previous season well but it could have been greater if they had a prolific striker like Darwin Nunez when Mane and Salah were on break for International duties, the Egyptian couldn't hit the ground on his return to the Premier League which was a kind of setback to the team coupled with Firmino Injury. Darwin will have a lot of contributions to make to the team and I see Liverpool preparing for not just today but the future.
It cost Liverpool a lot bringing him on board and his £140k isn't a bad deal either, things should improve with time.
Join me on the next episode of the big deals in the transfer window so far.
