Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi highlighted the 2021 summer transfer window filled with excitement and heartbreaks for some top European clubs.
Arsenal became Premier League’s biggest spenders in the just concluded summer transfer window after landing Takehiro Tomiyasu on deadline day.
Manchester City were handed double blow in their pursuit of a natural striker as Tottenham held on to Harry Kane, while United ensured their icon, Ronaldo, returned home instead of the blue side of Manchester.
Although Real Madrid suffered a blow in their pursuit of £200m rated Kylian Mbappe, the Spanish giant won the race for the signing of French prospect, Eduardo Camavinga.
