Chelsea's Todd Boehly and Man Utd's Glazer Family are set to be two busy ownership structures from now till the September 1 deadline with potentially up to £850million in total spending between the two clubs.
The Blues have so far spent around £170m on new recruits this summer for the now and the future but that total is set to get up immediately with Cesare Casadei's £13m Inter Milan switch set to be confirmed soon. On top of this, the current World Champions are now 'very confident' in concluding a £22m transfer for Premier League proven striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is set to cut his Barcelona spell very short, pending personal terms talks.
His blunt answer recently given to the Spanish press indicates that something is happening and in the process, Thomas Tuchel will be sorting out his striker issue amid renewed Cristiano Ronaldo hope. But it isn't just a striker who Chelsea want before the September 1 deadline. Far from it. In fact, Boehly is wanting to conclude respective deals for all of Wesley Fofana (£85m), Frenkie de Jong (£70m) and Anthony Gordon (£50m).
