Who wants whom this summer?
* guardian.co.uk, Monday 1 June 2009 13.04 B
Arsenal
Despite the suggestions of the board, Arsène Wenger believes he will have no more than £15m in the kitty, to be supplemented by sales. "If I have £100m, do you think I am stupid enough to keep it in the bank?" he said. His priority is a central defender with experience
Possible departures Emmanuel Adebayor, Amaury Bischoff, Philippe Senderos
Possible arrivals Brede Hangeland (Fulham), Sébastien Bassong (Newcastle), Matthew Upson (West Ham), Roque Santa Cruz (Blackburn), Marouane Chamakh (Bordeaux), Jamie Edge (Cheltenham), Nathaniel Clyne (Crystal Palace), Gareth Barry (Aston Villa), Xabi Alonso (Liverpool), Martin Angha-Lötscher (FC Zurich)
Aston Villa
Not a huge transfer kitty but Martin O'Neill and Randy Lerner are under pressure to bring in both quality and quantity after the squad's lack of strength in depth was exposed last season. And then there is the not so small matter of replacing the now retired Martin Laursen and, if he moves on, Gareth Barry. A tough summer ahead
Possible departures Gareth Barry, Marlon Harewood, Zat Knight, Craig Gardner, Ashley Young, Martin Laursen (retired)
Possible arrivals David Bentley (Tottenham), Brede Hangeland (Fulham), Sylvain Distin (Portsmouth), Daniel Sturridge (Man City), Milan Jovanovic (Standard Liège), David Wheater (Middlesbrough)
Birmingham City
With Radhi Jaidi gone and Liam Ridgewell injured, signing two central defenders is a priority. Alex McLeish is also in the market for a creative central midfielder and a few younger legs to add some balance to an ageing squad, hence the interest in Aston Villa's Craig Gardner
Possible departures Stephen Kelly, Marcus Bent, Martin Taylor, Gary McSheffrey
Possible arrivals Zat Knight (Aston Villa), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard Liège), Bobo Balde (Celtic), Lee Bowyer (West Ham), Barry Ferguson (Rangers), Roger Johnson (Cardiff), Djimi Traore, Sean Davis (both Portsmouth), Dave Kitson (Stoke City)
Blackburn Rovers
A resolution to the worst kept secret in Lancashire, that Roque Santa Cruz has had enough of Ewood Park, would be most welcome for Sam Allardyce as it would improve his modest transfer budget and remove a distraction. Allowing Chris Samba to return to central defence by signing a few strikers is necessary, as will be replacing the departed Tugay and the injury-plagued David Dunn in central midfield
Possible departures Roque Santa Cruz, Andre Ooijer, Benni McCarthy, Zurab Khizanishvili, Jason Brown, Tugay (out of contract)
Possible arrivals Gael Givet, Renato Civelli, Modeste M'Bami (all Marseille), Joey Barton (Newcastle)
Bolton Wanderers
Using only 18 players Bolton comfortably secured their safety but fans unimpressed with Gary Megson's no nonsense football will be keen to see signs of progress next season. With nobody out of contract at the Reebok a mass exodus is unlikely but should Arsenal make an offer for Gary Cahill he may be sold to finance the purchase of a creative player such as Matias Fernandez
Possible departures Chris Basham, Gary Cahill
Possible arrivals Lucas Biglia (Anderlecht), Sylvain Distin (Portsmouth), Matias Fernández (Villarreal), Kamel Ghilas (Celta Vigo), Paul Robinson (West Brom), Tuncay Sanli (Middlesbrough), Miguel Veloso (Sporting Lisbon)
Burnley
Owen Coyle will be eager to expand and improve the 23-man squad that survived a 61-game season but he is under no illusions, with a budget of £15m, that he will have to spend cannily. Some money may be raised by the sale of big earners Gabor Kiraly and Remco van der Schaaf, who have been on loan for most of the season. A striker, possibly from the lower divisions, will be top of Coyle's shopping list
Possible departures Gabor Kiraly, Remco van der Schaaf
Possible arrivals Russell Anderson (Sunderland), Jermaine Beckford (Leeds), David Connolly (free agent), Simon Cox (Swindon), Ched Evans (Man City), Rhys Williams (Middlesbrough)
Chelsea
Carlo Ancelotti pinpointed the signing of creative players last summer, principally Xabi Alonso and Franck Ribéry, and both would be dream arrivals. Yet Peter Kenyon has consistently indicated that the manager will have to generate the majority of his transfers through sales, with the odd 'gift' from Roman Abramovich thrown in if players become available at the right price. Ancelotti will have to reinvigorate an ageing squad
Possible departures Mineiro, Hilario (both out of contract), Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, Didier Drogba, Scott Sinclair, Michael Mancienne, Ricardo Quaresma (end of loan)
Possible arrivals Yuri Zhirkov (CSKA Moscow), David Villa (Valencia), Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich), Daniel Sturridge (Man City), Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal), Bruno Alves (Porto), Marko Arnautovic (FC Twente), Sergio Agüero (Atlético Madrid), Andrea Pirlo (Milan), Ashley Young (Aston Villa), Diego Milito (Genoa), Carlos Tevez (Man Utd), Karim Benzema (Lyon), Adam Johnson, Ross Turnbull (both Middlesbrough)
Everton
Another difficult summer beckons for David Moyes as his club seeks the finance to meet their manager and supporters' rising expectations. There is room for improvement at right-back and on the right wing while the priority for last summer, a quality holding midfield player, remains on the agenda despite the emergence of Jack Rodwell
Possible departures Victor Anichebe, Lars Jacobsen, Segundo Castillo, Nuno Valente
Possible arrivals Joao Moutinho (Sporting Lisbon), Stéphane Mbia (Rennes), Joe Ledley (Cardiff), David Bentley, Darren Bent (both Tottenham), Kyle Naughton (Sheffield United), Michael Owen (free agent), Matthew Bates (Middlesbrough)
Fulham
Roy Hodgson recognises that his squad lacks depth, particularly as Fulham have the additional demands of the Europa League next season, so, with £25m to spend, his summer will be busy. His priority is to keep Brede Hangeland, although the centre-half has his price
Possible departures Julian Gray, Giles Barnes (end of loan), Olivier Dacourt, Moritz Volz, Hameur Bouazza
Possible arrivals Gary Cahill (Bolton), Sol Campbell (free agent), David Wheater (Middlesbrough), Sylvain Distin (Portsmouth), Habib Beye (Newcastle), Oli Johnson (Stockport), Chris Brunt (West Brom), Marc-Antoine Fortuné, Landry N'Guemo (both Nancy)
Hull City
Ensuring survival could depend on Jimmy Bullard's recovery from a serious knee injury and the recruitment of a decent striker to score the goals Hull struggled to muster during the second half of last season. Another right-back and a central midfielder boasting enforcement skills are also required. Expect Phil Brown to take a leaf out of his mentor Sam Allardyce's book and sign older, experienced, Premier League pros for low or nominal fees but on decent wages
Possible departures Michael Turner, Geovanni, Ryan France, Manucho (end of loan)
Possible arrivals Dean Whitehead, Paul McShane (both Sunderland), Federico Macheda, Danny Welbeck (both Man Utd, loan), Jonathan Greening, James Morrison (both West Brom), Mido, Chris Riggott, Tony McMahon (all Middlesbrough), Alan Smith (Newcastle)
Liverpool
Rafael Benítez wants to fine-tune, deal quickly and basically avoid the mess of last summer when he became embroiled in a stand-off with Martin O'Neill over Gareth Barry and none of his signings made an impact as the season unfolded. Quality support for Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard will be essential, as will a solution to the Alonso/Barry debate
Possible departures Xabi Alonso, Ryan Babel, Jermaine Pennant (out of contract), Andriy Voronin, Jack Hobbs (has signed for Leicester), Sebastián Leto, Andrea Dossena, Lucas Leiva
Possible arrivals Gareth Barry (Aston Villa), David Silva (Valencia), Carlos Tevez (Man Utd), Glen Johnson (Portsmouth), Stewart Downing, David Wheater (both Middlesbrough)
Manchester City
City's Abu Dhabi owners landed Robinho and almost secured the signature of Dimitar Berbatov in the one day they owned the club before last summer's transfer window closed, so it is reasonable to expect Mark Hughes will be most active in the market this summer. Roque Santa Cruz is likely to join, but Emmanuel Adebayor and Samuel Eto'o will take more convincing. Daniel Sturridge is sure to leave after his outlandish wage demands and he will be followed by others whose contracts have expired, such as Mills, Hamann and Ball
Possible departures Daniel Sturridge, Danny Mills, Michael Ball, Darius Vassell, Dietmar Hamann (all out of contract), Elano, Ched Evans
Possible arrivals Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal), John Carew (Aston Villa), Eljero Elia (FC Twente), Samuel Eto'o (Barcelona), Lucas Neill (West Ham), Roque Santa Cruz (Blackburn), Carlos Tevez (Man Utd)
Manchester United
Sir Alex Ferguson is not likely to be as busy this summer as his rival across town. Antonio Valencia may well join, but whether it is as a replacement or cover for Cristiano Ronaldo remains to be seen. The sale of the Portuguese to Madrid might see United enter the bidding war for Franck Ribéry and similarly if the club decline to take up the option on Carlos Tevez they may move for Karim Benzema, a player Ferguson has long admired Scholes may move on to launch his coaching career while Gibson will be hoping he is offered a new contract.
Possible departures Carlos Tevez (end of loan), Darron Gibson (out of contract), Tomasz Kuszczak, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Scholes
Possible arrivals Karim Benzema (Lyon), Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich), Antonio Valencia, Maynor Figueroa (both Wigan)
Portsmouth
Sulaiman al-Fahim's proposed takeover at Fratton Park, should it be ratified, will determine how much money is made available to the incoming manager, whether that be the current incumbent Paul Hart or not. Certainly, the Dubai property investor will have ambitious plans for the club and, if Sven-Goran Eriksson returns to the Premier League, expect a series of big-name arrivals to follow him. Should that scenario not come to pass, however, then days of ruthless cost-cutting under Alexandre Gaydamak lie ahead
Possible departures Sol Campbell, Hermann Hreidarsson, Lauren, Noé Pamarot, Jerome Thomas, Sean Davis (all out of contract), Nwankwo Kanu (released), Armand Traoré (loan end), Glen Johnson, Peter Crouch, Sylvain Distin, Djimi Traore
Possible arrivals Completely dependent upon who owns the club. They might be targeting established quality players at significant prices, or lower league bargains and Bosmans
Stoke City
Despite last season's success, Tony Pulis will make major changes to his squad this summer. The Stoke manager is set to move on at least half a dozen players, making room for the arrival of a centre-half, right-back, central midfielder to play alongside Glenn Whelan and another forward
Possible departures Salif Diao, Dominic Matteo, Dave Kitson, Andy Griffin, Ibrahim Sonko, Andrew Davies, Tom Soares, Seyi Olofinjana, Michael Tonge, Richard Cresswell
Possible arrivals Joe Ledley (Cardiff), Ched Evans (Man City), Kevin Nolan (Newcastle), Tom Huddlestone (Tottenham), Fraizer Campbell (Man Utd)
Sunderland
Niall Quinn, Sunderland's chairman, argues that there is little wrong with the "talented" nucleus of his slightly overblown squad but that certain Sunderland players require a manager able to "turn them into proper men". Even so, the team lacks quality wingers capable of whipping in crosses from the byline and needs a new attacking partner for Kenwyne Jones and a fresh centre-half. A proper midfield enforcer would not go amiss either. It is thought the new manager will have around £60m to spend on turning Sunderland into a top 10 side
Possible departures Djibril Cisse, Calum Davenport, Tal Ben Haim (all end of loan), Marton Fulop, Dean Whitehead, Paul McShane, Michael Chopra, Jordan Henderson, Daryl Murphy
Possible arrivals Paul Scharner (Wigan), Miguel Veloso (Sporting Lisbon), Darren Bent (Tottenham), Julio Arca (Middlesbrough)
Tottenham Hotspur
Harry Redknapp is never quiet during any transfer window but he will seek quality rather than quantity. He spent heavily in January so funds are likely to be dictated by what he can raise but he has a clutch of expensive under-achievers that he would like to move on
Possible departures Alan Hutton, David Bentley, Darren Bent, Carlo Cudicini, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Gilberto, Ricardo Rocha, Giovani dos Santos
Possible arrivals Glen Johnson (Portsmouth), Gareth Barry (Aston Villa), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Roque Santa Cruz (Blackburn), Djibril Cisse (Marseille)
West Ham United
Gianfranco Zola has suggested he will have funds to strengthen this summer, despite the continued uncertainty over the future ownership of the club and its financial viability. He would like to add depth in all areas of the team having grown weary of seeing injuries decimate his options in midfield and up front, and of relying upon a productive youth system. A striker to aid Carlton Cole and the injury-prone Dean Ashton is a priority
Possible departures Walter López, Lucas Neill, Diego Tristán, Luis Boa Morte (all out of contract), David Di Michele , Jan Lastuvka (both end of loan), Lee Bowyer, Nigel Quashie, Kyel Reid, Jimmy Walker, Freddie Sears (loan), Matthew Upson
Possible arrivals Radoslav Kovac (Spartak Moscow), Matthew Bates (Middlesbrough), Eric Djemba-Djemba (Odense), Djibril Cisse (Marseille)
Wigan Athletic
Wigan will be effectively starting from scratch again this summer. The squad is desperately short of strikers – Hugo Rodallega is the only one whose position is not in doubt – and Steve Bruce had several deals in place through his contacts in South America. It looks like back to square one, however, because of Bruce's dismay at having to dismantle a fine team
Possible departures Antonio Valencia, Maynor Figueroa, Paul Scharner, Antoine Sibierski, Marlon King
Possible arrivals Cristian Benítez (Santos Laguna), Hendry Thomas (Deportivo Olimpia), Matthew Bates (Middlesbrough)
Wolves
Wolves need experience and lots of it. The club will take encouragement from the success Reading enjoyed in the top flight with a young, hungry side three years ago but Mick McCarthy knows that he needs to add quality right down the spine of the team to give Wolves a chance. He will not have much to spend
Possible departures None
Possible arrivals Marlon Harewood (Aston Villa), Nenad Milijas (Red Star Belgrade), Marc-Antoine Fortuné (Nancy), Fraizer Campbell (Man Utd), Michael Brown, Emmerson Boyce (both Wigan)
And the big movers around Europe...
Barcelona
The appearance of 21-year-old Pedro Rodriguez from the bench in Rome shows that the Barça academy is still producing gifted attackers. If the European champions want for anything it is defensive cover and Philipp Lahm is suitably versatile, capable of playing on the left or right. After a disappointing first season Alexander Hleb may be sold on and the club may listen to offers for 28-year-old Eto'o
Possible departures Martín Cáceres, Samuel Eto'o, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Alexander Hleb
Possible arrivals Bruno Alves (Porto), Diego Forlán (Villarreal), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter), Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribéry (both Bayern Munich)
Bayern Munich
The acquisition of a goalkeeper is a priority for new coach Louis van Gaal, with Schalke's Manuel Neuer topping the Bavarian club's wish-list. Width in midfield must also be addressed, especially as Franck Ribéry is likely to be sold to the highest bidder. Four players have already been signed, hinting at something of a summer clearout. Defender Breno is wanted in Holland and the club are keen to offload Toni, but his wages represent a E170,000-per-week stumbling block
Possible departures Tim Borowski, Breno, Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribéry, Luca Toni
Possible arrivals Logan Bailly (Borussia Munchengladbach), Eljero Elia (FC Twente), Manuel Neuer (Schalke 04), Stijn Schaars (AZ Alkmaar), Dario Srna (Shakhtar Donetsk)
Internazionale
Inter already have a deal in place for Genoa's Diego Milito and Thiago Motta, but Jose Mourinho has said his team still needs another defender and midfielder. Should Zlatan Ibrahimovic leave – and he has been giving out mixed messages – Mourinho may be in the market for another big-name striker, too, perhaps one at his old club, Chelsea
Possible departures Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Hernan Crespo, Luis Figo (retired), Ricardo Quaresma
Possible arrivals Diego Milito, Thiago Motta (both Genoa), Carlos Tevez (Man Utd), Pavel Nedved (Juventus), Ricardo Carvalho, Deco, Didier Drogba (all Chelsea)
Milan
Milan's debts mean they are unlikely to make any big moves without selling first. Kaka has plenty of suitors, and Andrea Pirlo could follow Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea. Philippe Mexès would help shore up Milan's ageing defence and could be available after Roma failed to qualify for the Champions League
Possible departures Kaka, Andrea Pirlo, Paolo Maldini (retired)
Possible arrivals Philippe Mexès (Roma), Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal), Carlos Tevez (Man Utd), Michael Essien, Didier Drogba (both Chelsea)
Real Madrid
The election of Florentino Pérez almost guarantees a summer splurge to herald the beginning of the second age of the galácticos. The rumoured replacement for Juande Ramos is Villarreal's Manuel Pellegrini and he may walk into a dressing room containing Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Xabi Alonso. Room may be made in the bath by the sale of most of the Dutch contingent
Possible departures Fabio Cannavaro (signed for Juventus), Royston Drenthe, Arjen Robben, Javier Saviola , Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart
Possible arrivals Xabi Alonso (Liverpool), Santiago Cazorla (Villarreal), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter), Kaka (Milan), Álvaro Negredo (Almeria), Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich), Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd), Carlos Tevez (Man Utd), David Silva, David Villa, Raúl Albiol (all Valencia)
