Incredibly, AI has forecasted that, during the forthcoming summer transfer window, Manchester United would pull off a coup by signing Kylian Mbappe, a free agent.
After PSG failed to win the Champions League in France, its star striker declared that he would be leaving the club at the conclusion of his contract. The free agent has been linked with Real Madrid, but an AI simulation by BettingSites predicts that the World Cup champion will be joining the Reds in the Premier League.
It would take a dramatic shift in thinking from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has previously stated his preference for developing young talent over spending a lot on a superstar like Kylian Mbappe, for United to make a play for Mbappe. When it comes to Manchester City’s transfer market, Bernardo Silva is the main attraction.
The AI forecasts that Barcelona would spend around £60 million to sign the gifted Portuguese player, bringing him together with his old captain. Though rumoured to be a City player, he is not the only one.
If artificial intelligence has its way, Kyle Walker will also be departing for Tottenham Hotspur, presumably for a cost of about £15 million. He recently clarified that he had no immediate intentions to leave City or retire from football, as he had previously said.
After his contract expired on Tuesday, Anthony Martial left Old Trafford, and now everyone will be watching him this summer. It is expected that he will return to Sevilla.
Regarding other noteworthy Premier League transactions, Real Madrid decided to acquire Mohamed Salah from Liverpool for an astronomical £110 million after failing to get Mbappe. With £85 million, Newcastle United won the bidding for Ivan Toney, and the Merseyside club used £55 million of Salah’s money to buy Raphinha from Barcelona.

As Wayne Rooney was having an awkward celebration, he unexpectedly stumbled across a Man City star at a Chinese restaurant.
“If AI has got it right and some of these predicted transfers actually happen, we are in for an absolutely mental summer transfer window,” said Lee Astley of BettingSites, who remarked on the Premier League summer transfers predicted by AI.
Ivan Toney’s possible transfer to Newcastle and Kylian Mbappe’s possible rejection of Real Madrid for Old Trafford suggest that this summer’s transfer market will be explosive. Also, some Premier League players have left for clubs in Europe, including Bernardo Silva, Emile Smith Rowe, Heung-Min Son, Miguel Almirón, and Mohamed Salah.
“Strap in for what could be a truly manic summer transfer window in the Premier League if any of these moves actually come to fruition.”
