Window Watching: Predicting Summer Transfers

Window Watching: Predicting Summer Transfers

This article is part of our Window Watching series.

As fun as the Premier League season is, the shenanigans of the summer transfer window may be more entertaining. Every big name is at one point linked to either Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona, Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain, while key relegated players are also getting interest from clubs who remain in the Premier League.

I compiled a list of players who have been mentioned in transfer rumors recently and asked a few of our soccer writers to guess where everyone will end up.

If you have anyone you want us to touch on, please feel free to hit us up in the comments below or on Twitter.

Here's how it broke down:
