The majority of Premier League clubs will be unable to spend money on transfers this summer due to the coronavirus crisis, according to former Tottenham and Liverpool recruitment chief Damien Comolli.
With the dates for the transfer window still unclear, Comolli believes most clubs are focusing their attention on free transfers – and he expects only three top-flight English clubs to be able to pay fees.
While Comolli – who conducted deals to sign Gareth Bale and Luka Modric for Tottenham, and Luis Suarez for Liverpool – did not name the trio, the financial might of Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool may give them an edge on the rest.
