Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea can pick up six bargains if West Ham and Wolves relegated

London, January 2026 – As the Premier League relegation battle intensifies, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea stand to gain massively if West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers drop to the Championship. Recent poor form has left both clubs teetering on the brink, with West Ham suffering a fourth defeat in five matches under Graham Potter, rooting them firmly in the drop zone[1]. Wolves, meanwhile, remain pointless after five games, hammered 3-1 by newly promoted Leeds[1].

The article highlights six prime transfer targets these strugglers could offload at bargain prices to balance books and fund rebuilds. For Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, eyes are on Wolves' versatile midfielder Joao Gomes, whose contract expires soon, and West Ham's dynamic winger Jarrod Bowen, valued at £30m despite relegation clauses. Liverpool, perfect under Arne Slot[1], could snag West Ham's creative force Lucas Paqueta for £25m, evading his release clause post-relegation.

Chelsea, fresh off a chaotic Old Trafford loss to United[1], target Wolves' prolific striker Raul Jimenez and West Ham defender Max Kilman – both proven Premier League performers available for under £20m each. Additional gems include Wolves' Nelson Semedo for United's right-back woes and West Ham's Edson Alvarez as midfield reinforcement for Chelsea.

Relegation would trigger sales to comply with financial rules, offering Big Six clubs rare value. Experts warn West Ham's woes signal Potter's sacking[1], while Wolves' winless streak spells doom. United's recent win over Chelsea[1] boosts their top-half push, positioning them perfectly for these deals[3].
