Yes, the big teams in the Premier League are indeed competing to strengthen their squads for next season. That's why these teams are making quite aggressive and expensive player purchases. Speaking of Manchester City, I think this team also brought in quite a lot of players in this transfer window. Although the players Manchester City brought in weren't as expensive as those brought in by rival teams, I'm sure Pep had a strong reason for bringing in only those players. Perhaps Manchester City currently has sufficient squad depth, so perhaps for that reason Pep didn't bring in expensive players in this transfer window. Because due to the declining performance that befell Manchester City last season, I don't think it was due to the players being bad. But rather, it was caused by the declining chemistry between the players. So, perhaps because of that, Pep didn't need expensive players to be brought in this transfer window.
Manchester City is indeed one of the most active clubs in the transfer market this season. Last season, they were not very active, but this time Manchester City has prepared much better. So far, Manchester City has signed around five players. They are
1. Tijjani Reijnders
2. Rayan Aït-Nouri
3. Rayan Cherki
4. Sverre Nypan
5. Marcus Bettinelli
And what's interesting is that Liverpool is doing the same. Liverpool wasn't very active in the previous transfer window, but in this transfer window, Liverpool has also become very aggressive in pursuing new players. Currently, Liverpool has successfully brought in five new players to their squad. They are
1. Florian Wirtz
2. Milos Kerkez
3. Jeremie Frimpong
4. Ármin Pécsi
5. Freddie Woodman
I think Manchester City and Liverpool will be in a fierce competition this season. Arsenal and Chelsea will also be in the mix. However, among all Premier League clubs, Chelsea is currently the most active in the transfer market, having signed around seven new players, with an average age that is quite young.
