Numerous contracts expired at the end of June. Several top players can now freely decide where to continue their careers. We feature the biggest names.
The transfer market is booming. Many players change clubs for a lot of money. Every year, however, superstars also come onto the market free of charge. The contracts expire on June 30th. We introduce you to the most valuable players without a contract. Where might she end up?
Paul Pogba (29, France, CHF 48 million)
Actually, the change from Pogba to Juventus Turin is almost done. Pogba and Juve – there was something there. In fact, the French world champion played for the old lady before moving to Manchester United. He is said to receive a salary of eight million francs at Juventus. There should also be bonus payments. The deal is expected to go through in early July.
Franck Kessié (25, Ivory Coast, 45m)
With Pogba, Kessié is the most expensive player with an expiring contract. Months ago he made it clear to Milan that he wanted to wear a different kit in the future. A move to Barcelona is firmly expected. The player and the club are said to have agreed for weeks. As “Mundo Deportivo” writes, the transfer should be announced soon.
Andreas Christensen (26, Denmark, 35m)
Also linked with Barcelona is Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen. The Dane is set to strengthen the Catalans’ central defence. It is also assumed that the change will be made official in July. Barcelona still need individual player sales due to difficult financial circumstances at the club.
Paulo Dybala (28, Argentina, 35m)
Dybala made almost 300 games for the old lady. Statistically, Dybala was involved in a goal in every other Juve game – a strong stat. Now the paths of the offensive player and Juventus separate. Actually, Dybala was supposed to stay in Italy – Inter was very interested in the Argentine. The runners-up have now loaned Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea. According to Sky Italia, Inter still have to get rid of players before Dybala can sign. But maybe that won’t happen and the change will burst.
Ousmane Dembélé (25, France, 30 Mio.)
In January, Ousmane Dembélé’s farewell at Barcelona seemed certain. Coach Xavi brought the still young Frenchman back on track. Now Dembélé is spoiled for choice. Barça would like to extend the contract. However, the French should demand more salary. According to numerous transfer experts, Chelsea is also interested in the winger. But there is a problem there too: the Londoners probably offer too little money.
Christian Eriksen (30, Denmark, 20m)
Tottenham or Brentford? After his collapse at the European Championship last year, Christian Eriksen played his way back into the books of the top clubs this year. At Brentfort he completed a strong second half. Manchester United are also said to be interested in Eriksen’s services. However, he prefers staying at Brentfort or a return to the parent club Tottenham, or is mentioned.
Andrea Belotti (28, Italy, 20 million)
The European champions played for FC Turin in Serie A for seven years. That should now be over. The 44-time Italy international is aiming for a change. According to “Calciomercato”, Monaco is trying to get the player. However, Fiorentina and AC Milan are also said to be interested in Torgaranten.
