Out of contract XI: Who’s going for free in the summer?

Centre Back: Stefan De Vrij

De Vrij always looked like a promising player as he made his way through the Feyenoord youth teams but since his 2014 move to Lazio he has become one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe. Announced back in February that the 26-year-old was to leave the Stadio Olimpico, the Dutchman will surely be getting his big move this summer.

Left Back: Luke Shaw

Four years ago Luke Shaw was a near on certainty to nail down a regular place in both the England and Manchester United first teams for years to come. Although, the fact Shaw features in this eleven instead of Gareth Southgate’s for this summer’s World Cup is telling. The former Southampton man is still only 22-years-old though. And with a change of manager then you might just be reminded of all the hype.

Centre Midfield: Emre Can

Before injury struck Can had been excelling under Jurgen Klopp this season, but with the plaudits soon came speculation of a move for the Germany international. The Juventus rumours just won’t fade away and if Can recovers from his back injury in time, a Liverpool Champions League final victory against Real Madrid at 11/10 could be the perfect send-off.

Centre Midfield: Max Meyer

Meyer has been a name on the lips of many of European football’s connoisseurs’ lips since his 2013 debut for Schalke 04. In arguably his best season to date, manager Domenico Tedesco has dropped the diminutive midfielder deeper as part of his 4-2-3-1 formation. However, Meyer’s decision to leave the Bundesliga club has put many Premier League clubs on red alert.

Centre Midfield: Jack Wilshere

Arsenal were unwilling to budge on a new deal for the Englishman under Wenger. But despite the announcement of the French manager’s departure, the midfielder would be a coup for any team. His wretched injury record aside he blends his flair, honed through the Wenger years, with a natural instinct for a challenge that when on top form can be a match for anyone.

Left Forward: Bernard

Bernard has always been linked with a move to the Premier League even when first dubbed a wonderkid at Atletico Mineiro. Having had to sit tight as the likes of Willian, Douglas Costa and Luiz Adriano took centre stage, Bernard is now finally showing Europe what he can do. This could now finally be his opportunity to move to the next level.

Forward: Mario Balotelli

Balotelli never seems to be out of the news for more than five minutes, but during his two seasons in Ligue 1 his goals have been doing the talking for Nice. His record in France surely warrants a move back to Europe’s elite. But where to, nobody is quite sure yet!

Right Forward: Fernando Torres

It was always Torres’ dream to retire with Atletico, the club he had captained. He has played 55 games since his homecoming in 2016 but the return of Diego Costa has shuffled him down the pecking order. As his second spell at the club comes to a close, the Spaniard must believe he still has one more challenge in him.
