The summer transfer market of 2024 is already history, but the focus now shifts to the summer of 2025, where significant movements are looming. While 2024 will be remembered for Kylian Mbappé's arrival at Real Madrid for free after leaving PSG, players whose contracts expire in 2025 could generate even more interest and speculation in the football landscape.
Among the names becoming free agents next year, Mo Salah stands out. The 32-year-old Egyptian forward might be experiencing his final season at Liverpool, having joined the club in 2017. Salah has not received contract renewal offers from the English club, fueling rumors about a potential move to Saudi Arabia, a destination that seems increasingly likely.
De Bruyne, Salah, and Kimmich, the most coveted
Another big name that could change clubs in 2025 is Kevin De Bruyne. At 33, the Belgian is nearing the end of his cycle with Manchester City. Saudi Arabia also emerges as a possible destination for him. However, it's not just Premier League players dominating the market. Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich will enter the final year of his contract, and while Barcelona and Manchester City show interest in him, his allegiance to the Bavarian club might lead to a renewal.
One of the most intriguing cases is that of Alphonso Davies, who has turned down several contract extension offers from Bayern. The Canadian full-back has been strongly linked with Real Madrid, with the Spanish club appearing to be his preferred destination. Despite Bayern's efforts to keep him, his future seems distant from Munich.
On the other hand, Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool could also attract interest from top clubs like Real Madrid, even though his bond with Anfield is solid. Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk, at 33, might be approaching his final months at Liverpool due to his age and high salary.
To this list, add players who, despite not being at their peak, remain significant figures: Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, and Luka Modric, who will likely finish their careers with Al Nassr, Inter Miami, Al Hilal, and perhaps one last club in the case of the Croatian, whose future remains uncertain.
