Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Despite only scoring one goal in the Premier League and three in all competitions last season, Aubameyang's time at Chelsea has not gone according to plan. As a result, the club has deemed him surplus to requirements and he is now being courted by Barcelona for a potential return. However, several Saudi Arabian clubs have also expressed interest in him and the financial offers being presented may prove too tempting to refuse.

Folarin Balogun

With Arsenal, Balogun is contracted until 2025, providing an opportunity for the Gunners to secure a reliable centre-forward. Having showcased his skills with 21 goals during his loan stint with Reims in Ligue 1, the challenge for Mikel Arteta lies in integrating the young talent into the squad as they strive towards the title.

Harvey Barnes

Leicester's winger is a valuable asset for the club, and with their recent relegation, they are open to offers for him. Being highly sought after by various Premier League clubs for quite some time, there will be no shortage of interest in acquiring this skilled left winger.

Harvey Barnes

The wing-back for Manchester United has had an exceptional season, but her contract is set to expire this summer. Reports suggest that Barcelona is interested in acquiring her services, and she may be returning to her home country of Spain. This leaves Marc Skinner with the difficult task of finding a suitable replacement. Meanwhile, the impressive performance of the young English international at Borussia Dortmund is catching the eye of Real Madrid. The 14-time European champions have reportedly reached a deal in principle to bring Bellingham to the Bernabeu, effectively ending the hopes of Liverpool and other clubs vying for his talents.

Ona Batlle

Jude Bellingham

Moises Caicedo

Brighton's prized possession in midfield has been attracting attention from top Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United in the current transfer window. The Ecuadorian international is expected to move out of Brighton, following Alexis Mac Allister's departure.

Joao Cancelo

After an unsuccessful loan spell at Bayern Munich, the full-back is set to return to Manchester City. However, he is not included in their plans and could be on his way to Arsenal. Will he be the next player to make the switch from Etihad to Emirates?

Philippe Coutinho

Once considered one of the top football players in the world, the third-most expensive player in football history has fallen far from grace since his record-breaking transfer from Liverpool to Barcelona in 2018. With reports indicating that he may no longer be needed at Aston Villa, the 31-year-old's future in the sport is uncertain.

Alphonso Davies

According to News reports in May, Real Madrid is looking to sign three players this summer, including the talented left-back from Bayern Munich, as well as Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. Despite his team's struggles, the left-back has been a vital part of Bayern's success and it remains to be seen if he will leave the club.

David De Gea

With just over two weeks left on his current contract, De Gea's future at Manchester United remains uncertain. While the club has the option to extend his deal by a year, talks of a longer extension have been ongoing, but with the possibility of a move for Brentford's David Raya, De Gea's future could take any direction.

Moussa Diaby

Bayer Leverkusen's Diaby has caught the eye of Europe's top clubs after impressing with four successful seasons in the Bundesliga. The 23-year-old has been linked with several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Newcastle, who now have the added attraction of Champions League football to entice potential recruits.

Mary Earps

Reports suggest that Manchester United have activated the extension clause in goalkeeper Earps' contract, but the WSL Golden Glove winner has attracted interest from several other clubs. Despite her focus on the Women's World Cup in the coming months, it is possible that the England No. 1 could be on the move.

Roberto Firmino

Liverpool's Brazilian forward Firmino is set to depart the club as his contract expires next month. The question remains: where will he end up? While Real Madrid have expressed interest, they may have other priorities with Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe on their radar.

Grace Fisk

West Ham's Fisk stood out as a defender last season, leading the WSL in clearances with a total of 90. As a result, she has garnered attention from other English clubs and abroad due to her impressive performance on the pitch.

Kyogo Furuhashi

Kyogo had a stellar 2022/23 season with Celtic, scoring 27 goals in the league and helping the team win a domestic treble. He was recognized for his individual efforts with the PFA Scotland and SFWA Player of the Year awards. This success has led to rumors of his manager, Ange Postecoglou, potentially joining him at Tottenham following his departure from Celtic.

Ilkay Gundogan

Despite his vital contributions towards Manchester City's triumphant treble, the contract of the German star is set to expire. Although negotiations are in progress for an extension, there are reports of interest from Arsenal and Barcelona for a potential free transfer.

Jack Harrison

Following Leeds United's relegation to the Championship, Premier League clubs are reportedly eyeing Elland Road as a potential source of promising talents. Among these prospects, Jack Harrison is believed to be at the top of the list. The winger was close to joining Leicester in January, and Tottenham had also expressed interest in him during the 2022 season.

Reo Hatate

With an impressive record of nine goals and 11 assists in all competitions at Celtic last season, Hatate emerged as one of the most remarkable players in the Scottish Premiership. Now that Ange Postecoglou has left Parkhead and Kyogo Furuhashi is rumored to follow suit, will Reo consider exploring new opportunities elsewhere?

Harry Kane

Despite scoring 30 goals in the Premier League last season, Kane's future at Tottenham is uncertain. With the club's struggles and his desire for silverware, he has been linked with moves to top European clubs like Man Utd, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. However, Tottenham is reluctant to sell him, especially to a Premier League rival, making a move to United increasingly unlikely.

N'Golo Kante

French midfielder N'Golo Kante is set to leave Chelsea this summer as his contract expires, with a lucrative move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad in the works. The 32-year-old World Cup winner will join fellow Frenchman Karim Benzema at the Saudi champions.

Kerolin

Meanwhile, Brazilian forward Kerolin has emerged as a top scorer in the NWSL and is attracting attention from European clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester United. However, the North Carolina Courage player is under contract until 2025, which means a hefty transfer fee would be required to bring her to the WSL.

Mateo Kovacic

Kovacic's time at Chelsea seems to be nearing its end after spending five seasons in west London. The player has hinted at a possible departure while on international duty. Manchester City has initiated talks with Chelsea regarding his transfer, but no official offer has been presented yet.

Hannah Hampton

Another player whose contract is set to expire this summer is Hampton, the Aston Villa goalkeeper. Despite a turbulent season, she displayed some of her best performances since the start of the year. It wouldn't be surprising if one of the top WSL teams shows interest in acquiring her services.

Hannah Hampton

Rasmus Hojlund

In their pursuit of bolstering their attacking options, Manchester United have reportedly reached out to Atalanta to discuss the potential signing of their rising star striker. As the possibility of acquiring Harry Kane dwindles, the club is also keeping a watchful eye on Randal Kolo Muani.

Romeo Lavia

Following Southampton's disappointing relegation from the Premier League, it is expected that several players will seek to move on. One such player is midfielder Lavia, who is likely to attract interest from top-tier clubs after showcasing his abilities during a challenging season for the Saints.

Hugo Lloris

Tottenham's captain, Hugo Lloris, has expressed his desire for a new challenge after a disappointing season for the club, referring to it as the "end of an era". Despite having a year left on his contract, there has been interest from former club Nice in signing the French goalkeeper.

James Maddison

Following Leicester City's relegation from the Premier League, Newcastle is currently leading the race to sign England international James Maddison. With a year left on his Leicester deal, Maddison seems likely to make a switch this summer and continue playing in the top flight.

Harry Maguire

Is Harry Maguire's tenure at Old Trafford nearing its end? The team's skipper struggled to secure regular playing time under Erik ten Hag last season, and the manager has acknowledged that the English defender faces a decision. Reports suggest that Tottenham could offer him a way out.

Sadio Mane

Meanwhile, Sky Germany reports that Sadio Mane may depart Bayern Munich after only one season, with his absence clearly impacting the team's performance this term. Mane's most plausible option, given the financial considerations, appears to be a return to the Premier League.

Anthony Martial

According to recent reports, Ten Hag may be looking to sell France forward Martial after his first season in charge at Man Utd. Martial, who struggled with injuries throughout the campaign, only managed to start in 17 games across all competitions.

Joel Matip

With his Liverpool contract set to expire in a year and Jurgen Klopp appearing to prefer Ibrahima Konate alongside Virgil van Dijk in defence, Matip may need to make a decision soon. His future destination could be determined by Liverpool's upcoming transfer activity.

Kylian Mbappe

Paris St-Germain faces a challenging summer with the potential loss of all three star forwards. The departure of Lionel Messi and uncertain future of Neymar has fueled rumors of Kylian Mbappe's potential exit to Real Madrid. With Karim Benzema's departure, Real Madrid is in dire need of a striker, and Mbappe's long-awaited transfer could finally come to fruition.

Katie McCabe

Meanwhile, Chelsea's interest in Arsenal midfielder McCabe has been evident since the winter transfer window. However, it remains to be seen if the Gunners would allow McCabe to join a close rival. Emma Hayes' Blues are keeping a close eye on the situation and could pounce if a move becomes a possibility.

Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi's future has been decided and it seems he will be heading to Miami rather than his former club Barcelona or Saudi Arabia. The Argentine footballer's move to the MLS will bring attention to Inter Miami and the sport in the United States, making it a highly anticipated event.

Mason Mount

Despite being a Chelsea academy graduate, it appears that negotiations over a new contract for Mount have not been smooth sailing. As a result, Manchester United are reportedly pushing forward with their bid to sign the talented player, with an offer expected to be made soon.

Neymar

Intermediaries have approached Manchester United regarding the possibility of signing Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Although the Dutch side Ten Hag's team is one of many clubs contacted, it seems that Neymar is not currently a target for United.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Oxlade-Chamberlain will be leaving Liverpool at the end of his contract this summer. The midfielder, who turns 30 in August, has been plagued by injuries. Nevertheless, it is highly likely that at least one Premier League club will take a chance on him, given that he was once a regular player for England.

Joao Palhinha

The Fulham defensive midfielder had a remarkable season under the guidance of Marco Silva, showcasing his talent and emerging as one of the top players in his position. While there have been reports of clubs expressing interest in him for a £60m deal, he remains committed to Fulham for the time being.

Anna Patten

After spending 18 months on loan with Carla Ward's Aston Villa team, defender Patten has caught the eye of the club and they are eager to sign her on a permanent basis. However, other WSL clubs may also show interest in acquiring her services.

Kalvin Phillips

Manchester City made a big-money signing last summer with their acquisition of a midfielder, but he has been hardly seen on the pitch since. While Pep Guardiola has successfully brought players through in their second seasons after initial struggles, City faces tough decisions after their treble win, especially on how to repeat their success.

Christian Pulisic

Meanwhile, Chelsea is looking to offload players this summer, including USA international Christian Pulisic, who has been linked to a potential move to Juventus. With Pulisic earning huge wages and having only started eight Premier League games last season, he is high on the list of players to be sacrificed.

David Raya

Raya, the highly sought-after goalkeeper, is looking to leave Brentford for a bigger club and Tottenham are currently leading the chase for his signature. However, Man Utd are also monitoring the situation closely, although both clubs are reluctant to pay the £40m asking price. Meanwhile, Chelsea are keeping an eye on the situation, and Arsenal, who have been interested in Raya in the past, could also make a move. Despite this interest, Brentford are standing firm on their valuation.

Declan Rice

David Moyes, the West Ham boss, admitted in May that there was a "good chance" that Rice would leave the club this summer. The question now is where he will go. Arsenal are believed to be the frontrunners for his signature, but they face competition from Bayern Munich.

Alessia Russo

As the Women's World Cup approaches, the future of England striker and current Man Utd free agent is uncertain. While United hope to retain her, Arsenal made a world-record bid for her in January. Meanwhile, rumors link her to other clubs like West Ham, adding to the speculation around her next move.

Emile Smith Rowe

Despite being a promising young player, Smith Rowe's lack of presence on the field for Arsenal during crucial moments raises questions about his future with the team. In the midst of rumors surrounding Declan Rice, he has been linked to West Ham. Will he be able to prove himself and secure a spot with the Gunners or will he have to move on to another club?

Kieran Tierney

Arsenal's ex-Celtic left-back, Kieran Tierney, has seen limited game time this season and rumors suggest he may be on the move. Newcastle appears to be interested, but Arsenal is expected to play hardball with his valuation given his contract is set until 2026. Despite his lack of game time, Tierney remains a valuable asset from the bench.

Manuel Ugarte

Sporting Lisbon's midfielder has become a highly sought-after player, with Chelsea expressing interest. However, they have decided not to pursue a deal due to Paris Saint-Germain's offer being much more appealing to both the club and the player.

James Ward-Prowse

Despite Southampton's relegation from the Premier League, their captain is likely to continue playing in the top-flight. Several clubs are interested in acquiring him as an attacking midfielder, but his age may require some strategic maneuvering from potential suitors.

Granit Xhaka

Despite Xhaka's recent success at Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen remains keen on signing him. However, if Arsenal is able to secure the signings of Declan Rice or Moises Caicedo, it may open up the possibility of Xhaka departing the club.

Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace's Zaha has attracted interest from various teams, including those in Saudi Arabia and Paris Saint-Germain in France, as his contract comes to an end.

Hakim Ziyech

Ziyech, who almost made a move to PSG in January but stayed at Chelsea due to paperwork issues, is now being pursued by Ajax and is among the players that Chelsea are open to selling.
