20. Stephan El Shaarawy – AC Milan to Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs have been left disappointed by the form of Roberto Soldado this season and are already looking for a new partner to line up alongside Emmanuel Adebayor. This search has lead them to Milan’s door, where El Shaarawy has been somewhat of a forgotten man after failing to recapture last season’s electric form.
19. Ezequiel Lavezzi – Paris Saint Germain to Chelsea
Lavezzi was one of the first big stars to flock to the French capital when the big bucks rolled in, but things aren’t as bright and rosy as they were in the early days and he has since been tipped to make a swift exit this summer. Chelsea will be waiting, but so will several others.
18. Arturo Vidal – Juventus to Real Madrid
The all action midfielder earlier laughed off speculation linking him with a move to Old Trafford this summer, but Real Madrid are a different kettle of fish altogether. The Spaniards apparently made first contact with Juve over a summer move, which could surprisingly get the green light from the Italians.
17. Fabio Coentrao – Real Madrid to Inter Milan
Having already been extensively linked with the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United, the misfit Madrid ace recently stated that he would be open to a move to Italy with Inter Milan.
16. Adam Lallana – Southampton to Liverpool
Lallana’s form has been nothing short of revelatory since Southampton’s return to the top flight, and he has rightly garnered a whole series of admirers as the transfer window approaches. Liverpool look to be in luck as he has hinted that he is ready to choose them over Manchester United.
15. Radamel Falcao – Monaco to Real Madrid
The powerful Colombian had been closely watched by Chelsea, who had hoped to bring him to Stamford Bridge this summer, met with Real Madrid chiefs for a late night dinner last month to discuss his escape from the Stade Louis II. Falcao is apparently disillusioned with life in the principality after seeing the club’s home games sprinkled with fans instead of weekly sell outs.
14. Marco Reus – Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United
The fantastically quiffed playmaker has so far remained coy on contract talks with Dortmund, and could very well become the third superstar that the club risk losing in three consecutive years as Manchester United continue to lurk.
13. Koke – Atletico Madrid to Manchester United
United are desperate to land Koke, while Atletico are desperate to keep him. However, United will spare no expense at attempting to re-install themselves back at the forefront of European football and their spending power may prove to great for the Spaniards to resist.
12. Paul Pogba – Juventus to Real Madrid
For a long time Manchester United had been hoping to bring the talented France international back to Old Trafford, however, in a recent interview he accused them of showing him a lack of respect and in doing so virtually paved his own way to Madrid this summer.
11. Shinji Kagawa – Manchester United to Borussia Dortmund
It hasn’t quite worked out for Kagawa at United and he has since been linked with making a long awaited return to Signal Iduna Park where is still very much revered.
