Premier League Transfer Gossip: EPL Clubs Battling For World Cup Stars Angel Di Maria, James Rodriguez And Alexis Sanchez

The World Cup semi-finals are almost finalized and ready to go, and even though there's more World Cup fixtures remaining, it seems the club teams are starting to prepare for the end of the World Cup. Many clubs want to bolster their Premier League squads, however, some players make teams wait until the end of the tournament, so many are expecting a huge set of transfer battles to commence in the coming weeks. It seems the EPL sides are desperate to land World Cup stars Angel Di Maria, James Rodriguez and Alexis Sanchez, whilst Luis Suarez and Alvaro Negredo might be heading to Spain.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all in awe of the World Cup form that both Di Maria and Sanchez have shown, but they have no idea which star they will land, or if they're likely to be available. The trio are monitoring the situation, and keeping tabs on these talents, with the pair very likely to be joining one of these teams in the near future.

Likewise the EPL clubs are considering a move for World Cup sensation Rodriguez, however, it's believed Real Madrid are the only club he will consider. Madrid's La Liga rivals, Barcelona, looks set to seal a $100 million deal for Liverpool forward Luis Suarez. EPL champions Manchester City will look to change their squad, and that may start by selling Negredo to a Spanish club, and trading Jack Rodwell plus cash to land Everton and England star Ross Barkley.

Could all of these World Cup players make a huge impact at their (possible) new clubs?
