MATS HUMMELS IVAN RAKITIC


SAUL NIGUEZ FERNANDO MUSLERA


(Reims & Fra)
At Reims since he
was 14, the left-
footed attacker
has been a key
figure in the
promoted club’s
rise in Ligue 1
this season. Still a
raw prospect but
Reims could find
themselves fielding
offers this summer.
Happy to operate
as a winger or a
support striker.

(Barcelona, Spa
& Cro)
The Croatian is
arguably Barca’s
second-most
important player
but is entering the
final two years of
his contract and
the club have no
plans to extend
the deal. PSG,
whose bid was
rejected last
summer, may
ask again.

(Newcastle United,
Eng & Slk)
The custodian has
been one of Rafa
Benitez’s most
astute signings for
Newcastle but his
form since moving
from Sparta
Prague in 2018
has alerted some
big names, with
Juventus keen
to bolster their
keeper options.

(Bayern Munich
& Ger)
With a planned
defensive reboot this
summer which will
be built around
Benjamin Pavard
and record signing
Lucas Hernandez,
a move away from
Munich could
beckon for the
World Cup winner,
who is also surplus
to requirements with
the national side.

(Roma, Ita & Bos)
Now aged 33, the
striker has one
more year left on
his Roma contract
and the club
appear indifferent
over any extension.
Options include
rejoining Manuel
Pellegrini at West
Ham United
and replacing
Manuel Icardi at
Internazionale.

(Galatasaray,
Tur & Uru)
The experienced
keeper, who has
been capped more
than 100 times by
his country, has
been in Turkey
since 2011 but has
been repeatedly
linked with a move
to Paris Saint-
Germain by the
Turkish media.

(Getafe, Spa & Tog)
The centre-back
has been one of
the cornerstones
of his side’s rise to
the top four in La
Liga. Interested
clubs will have
to pay a buyout
clause reported to
be north of €30m


  • not a bad return
    for a player who
    cost €2.5m from
    Sint-Truidense
    in 2016.


(Atletico Madrid
& Spa)
An Atletico fixture
since his debut at
17 in 2012, he is
contracted until
2026 but rumours
persist of a move.
Only the very
biggest clubs will
have the resources
to meet his
reported €15 0 m
buyout clause.
