Having already bid an emotional farewell to Liverpool, Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is on the lookout for a new club. After joining the Reds in 2016, Wijnaldum went onto win the Champions League and Premier League during his successful five-year stay at Liverpool.
German champions, Bayern Munich are tipped to sign the 30-year-old on a free, but a move to Barcelona is also a possibility.
Another potential exit from Serie A outfit Milan, Turkish forward, Hakan Çalhanoğlu has delayed putting pen to paper on a contract extension, with a move away from Italy looking increasingly likely.
Joining from Bundesliga club, Bayer Leverkusen in 2017, the 27-year-old has played over 170 times for the Rossoneri, netting on 32 occasions. His performances this season have helped Milan qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2013 and Manchester United could be a potential destination for the winger.
Enjoying a strong campaign on loan from Barcelona with La Liga club, Real Betis, Brazilian international Emerson is a target for a number of Premier League managers. Heavily linked with a move to Arsenal, Mikel Arteta will be hoping the 22-year-old can improve a shaky Gunners’ backline.
Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are also amongst the sides looking at the right-back, should he fail to extend his contract at the Nou Camp.
One of a number of players leaving Bayern this summer, Javi Martinez has called time on his career at the Allianz Arena after nine years with the club.
With 165 appearances for the record German champions, the defensive midfielder turned centre-back will offer versatility for whichever European club he ends up at. Most likely to return to his former club, Athletic Bilbao, the 32-year-old has also been tipped with a move to the Premier League.
Without a club since terminating his contract at Atletico in December 2020, former Spanish international, Diego Costa will be looking for a move this summer.
Most likely to sign for a club in Brazil, Benfica are the favourites from Europe to sign the ex-Chelsea striker. If Costa does fancy a return to England, an unlikely switch to Spurs has been mooted.
Having resurrected his career with Ligue 1 side, Olympique Lyonnais, the ex-Manchester United winger, Memphis Depay will be available on a free transfer this summer.
Instrumental in Lyon’s run to the 2019/20 Champions League semi-final, the Dutch winger has scored 62 goals during his four-year stint with the club. A reunion with former Netherlands boss, Ronald Koeman at Barcelona looks most likely for Depay, with a shock return to United also rumoured.
Starting his career with Chelsea, English left-back, Ryan Bertrand was sent on loan to eight different clubs, before signing permanently with Southampton in 2015. An impressive 240 appearances later, the 31-year-old will leave the Saints in this summer’s window. FA Cup winners, Leicester City look best placed to land his signature, with Arsenal also interested.
Another defender leaving the Allianz in the summer, Jerome Boateng departs from Bayern with two Champions League wins and nine consecutive Bundesliga titles.
Monaco are favourites to land the German international’s signature, with former Bayern boss, Niko Kovac, having guided the French club to the Champions League. A return to England is also an option for the ex-City centre-back, with Tottenham best placed out of the Premier League clubs interested.
After finishing the season in strong form, Christian Benteke scored in each of his final four appearances for Crystal Palace this season.
Yet to sign a contract extension, the Belgian international is likely to follow veteran boss, Roy Hodgson out of Selhurst Park. Turkish Super Liga champions, Besiktas have been closely rumoured with a move for the 30-year-old striker, should he leave Palace.
Two seasons after signing for Arsenal in an £8m deal from Chelsea, David Luiz is once again on the move.
David Beckham owned, Inter Miami are favourites to sign the Brazilian, with a move back to Portuguese side, Benfica also a possibility. But should the 34-year-old opt to stay in England, Newcastle have been said to be interested in his services.
It hasn’t been an enjoyable few weeks for Real Madrid defender, Sergio Ramos, who saw his teammates miss out on the La Liga title to rivals Atletico Madrid, only to be left out of Spain’s Euro 2020 squad days later.
Remarkably the Real captain is still yet to agree on a contract extension and just weeks remain on his current deal. Only three men have made more appearances for Los Blancos, but the 35-year-old may have played his last match at the Bernabéu.
Should Ramos make the move away from Madrid this summer, he could link up with former teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus, with Chelsea another option for the veteran centre-back.
Drawing a curtain on a stellar Premier League career, Sergio Aguero will leave Manchester City after ten seasons with the Blues.
One of football’s worst kept secrets, a move to Spanish side Barcelona looks nailed on, with City boss, Pep Guardiola, all but confirming the news after their title celebrations against Everton. The ex-Atletico Madrid striker will sign a two-year deal at the Nou Camp and join up with fellow Argentine star, Lionel Messi.
Having made over 200 appearances for his boyhood club AC Milan, Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to leave San Siro when his contract runs out this summer.
Milan have wasted no time in finding a replacement, signing French shot-stopper, Mike Maignan from Ligue 1 club, LOSC Lille. Odds on to sign for Juventus and replace former Italy number one, Gianluigi Buffon, the 22-year-old has also been linked with a switch to European giants Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
