The top 5 players out of contract this summer

Manchester United are likely to be near the front of the queue. United boss Jose Mourinho worked with Ozil at Real Madrid and is understood to be keen on a reunion.

Leon Goretzka

Leon Goretzka is likely to be included in Germany’s World Cup squad this summer alongside Ozil. And like Ozil, he’s also coming to the end of his contract.

The Schalke midfielder is being chased by Bayern Munich and Liverpool. It’s easy to see why too – he drives his team forward with his energy and determination. The Bochum-born general has real quality on the ball too.

And at 22-years-old, he’s going to get even better in the future.

Stefan de Vrij

Stefan de Vrij has played a key role in Lazio’s top-four push this season. It’s no surprise that Liverpool, Barcelona, Inter Milan and AC Milan are all reported to be watching him closely.

A ball-playing centre-back seems to be a necessity for most top sides nowadays. De Vrij would fit the bill very well.

Fernandinho

Fernandinho may not be one of Manchester City’s big stars, but his tidy play in central midfield allows the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva to shine.

However, despite his important to the side, his current deal only has a few months left to run. City have recently been linked with Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fred as a potential replacement for the 33-year-old.

Even if Fred does come in, Fernandinho’s experience and all-around game would still make him a useful option. If City don’t act quickly, a rival could swoop in and get an excellent player for nothing.
