Already now the media is bursting with speculations and rumors about who is the most desired football player in one club or another. We offer to take a look at the list of the most important targets in the upcoming summer football market.
Eden Hazard (attacking midfielder from the "Lille" team)
Age: 21 years
Price: £40 million
The Belgian had a great season in France. Representing the "Lille" team, he scored 20 goals and made 15 assists. In his last match, which was likely Eden's farewell to the club, he scored three goals against "Nancy." E. Hazard remains mysterious for now, and the media does not reveal where he would like to play next season. However, it is predicted that it will likely be one of the two Manchester teams.
Interested clubs: "Chelsea," "Manchester City," "Manchester United," Madrid's "Real"
Neymar (forward, "Santos")
Age: 20 years
Price: £40 million
In December, Neymar was named the best player in South America. He led the "Santos" team to the FIFA Club World Cup final, where "Santos" lost to "Barcelona" with a score of 0:4. It is believed that the player would prefer to join this team instead of the also interested Madrid's "Real" club.
Interested clubs: "Barcelona," Madrid's "Real"
Shinji Kagawa (attacking midfielder from Dortmund's "Borussia")
Age: 23 years
Price: £20 million
This Japanese player shone again last season in the ranks of the Dortmund club. His excellent performance in the German Cup final, where "Bayern" was crushed, was closely watched by "Manchester United" coach Sir Alex Ferguson.
Interested club: "Manchester United"
Mario Gotze (Dortmund's "Borussia")
Age: 19 years
Price: £35 million
The highly rated midfielder recently extended his contract with the "Borussia" team, but there is a possibility that he could be lured by a strong English or Spanish club.
Interested clubs: London's "Arsenal," London's "Chelsea," Madrid's "Real"
Robin van Persie (London's "Arsenal")
Age: 28 years
Price: £30 million
Last season, this Dutch national team striker scored 37 goals for the London club. However, the Dutchman is in no rush to sign a new contract with the team. Meanwhile, the current contract will expire after the next season. "Arsenal" club wants to extend the contract, but if they fail to do so soon, the club may take the opportunity to at least profit from the sale of their captain.
Interested clubs: "Barcelona," Turin's "Juventus," "Manchester City," Madrid's "Real"
Kaka (attacking midfielder, Madrid's "Real")
Age: 30 years
Price: £20 million
Brazil has been plagued by injuries in recent years, and his playing time at the Madrid club has further decreased with the arrival of German Mesut Ozil. After spending three years in the Spanish capital, Kaka may finally decide to seek a new station for his career.
Interested clubs: London's "Arsenal," "Malaga," "AC Milan," PSG
Gonzalo Higuain (forward, Madrid's "Real")
Age: 24 years
Price: £30 million
The Argentine had a good season in Madrid, but the team's coach Jose Mourinho preferred forward Karim Benzema in the most important matches of the season. If Gonzalo decides to change teams, "Manchester City" is one of the possible destinations.
Interested clubs: Turin's "Juventus," "Manchester City," "AC Milan," PSG
Didier Drogba (forward for London's "Chelsea")
Age: 34 years
Price: free
In his last goal for "Chelsea," D. Drogba scored in the penalty shootout of the UEFA Champions League final, where his successful shot brought the London team the coveted title of the strongest team in Europe. Having achieved this goal, the Ivorian national team striker decided to leave the "Stamford Bridge" arena and look for a new club. The striker is most likely to accept a tempting offer from China, but some of the major European clubs are also interested.
Interested clubs: "Barcelona," Marseille's "Olympique," PSG, Shanghai's "Shenhua"
Fernando Torres (forward for London's "Chelsea")
Age: 28 years
Price: £25 million
The Spaniard had a hard time fitting into the London team, although recently he has shown better form. F. Torres has already hinted that he was unhappy with the coach's decision to leave him on the bench during the Champions League final. This could be a sign that the Spaniard is preparing to spread his wings to another club.
Interested clubs: Madrid's "Atletico," "Malaga," PSG
Luis Suarez (forward from "Liverpool")
Age: 25 years
Price: £40 million
After a difficult season in England, the Uruguayan national team striker may start looking to other countries. This decision could be further strengthened by the fact that the "Liverpool" team will again not play in the UEFA Champions League next year.
