The 2024 summer market has just ended but many clubs are already thinking about the future and the possible opportunities to seize. From free agents to players whose contracts expire on June 30, the next few months could be very important for defining strategies.
The summer of 2024 will be remembered above all for the arrival of Kylian Mbappé on a free transfer to Real Madrid, after six seasons at PSG. Like the French champion, there are many other high-level footballers who could change shirts in July, leaving their clubs empty-handed: the most striking case is certainly that of Mohammed Salahwho may have started his final season with Liverpool, who also have to discuss the renewals of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk. The future of the former Roma player? Saudi Arabia awaits him with open arms, as well as Kevin DeBruyne (33 years old): the Belgian is destined to end his career at Manchester City.
From two Premier League legends to two highly sought-after Bundesliga players. Joshua Kimmich (29 years old) has entered the final year of his contract with Bayern Munich; Barcelona and Manchester City have had him in their sights for some time but a contract renewal is not excluded. Little hope, however, of retaining Alphonso Davies: the Canadian received a thousand renewal proposals which he refused while waiting for Real Madrid.
Then there are the phenomena who have reached the end of their careers: Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi and Luka Modric, but also Neymar, still out of action after a very serious injury a year ago. Real Madrid has another hot potato on the table: the renewal of Dani Carvajal (32 years old). The captain, in theory, will have no problem reaching an agreement with the club, which has already reached an agreement with Lunin and Mendy.
