The summer transfer window is fast approaching and, as ever, it promises to be a busy time for Premier League clubs looking to strengthen their squads.
While there are thousands of players out there, the market for elite players is actually quite small. It means that the big fish like Manchester United and Manchester City end up competing for the same players inside a relatively small pond.
Such a scenario could be set to play out this summer, with The Times reporting that both Manchester clubs are interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. Barca are reportedly open to selling the former Ajax man if £60million is offered.
