Even though there’s still a lot to be played for this season, English clubs are already starting to look ahead. Manchester United and Liverpool, for instance, know they’ll have work to do in the summer to challenge for the title next year.

The lifelong rivals are far away from Arsenal and Manchester City, who are involved in an exciting title race in the final weeks of the Premier League campaign. But it looks like they’ll have to outbid the one another to get one of their targets.

Both the Red Devils and the Reds are believed to have strong interest in an Argentine World Cup champion at Qatar 2022 who is set to leave his club at the end of the season.
