The contract for the highly anticipated player list expires in 2025, which is impressive, with some big names having yet to be resolved.
Some are working on a deal to find a new club behind the scenes, while others agree to the next move before even playing for the current team.
It's the knockout round for the most coveted players who still have nowhere to go this year, not including those of the club choices that will expand their trades before the end of the 2025-26 season.
Alexander-Arnold announced that he will leave his childhood club Liverpool this summer. There is no formal confirmation of where he will go, but it is actually an open secret, and his next destination is Real Madrid. The only remaining question is whether he will be able to join them in June (at the start of the club's World Cup) or July (knockout).
David also confirmed that his prolific chapter in Lille will end and he will be one of the hottest free agent properties on the market. Internazionale, Juventus and Aston Villa are reportedly interested, but the queue will be much longer than the three clubs.
Ronaldo's record contract with NASSR will expire this summer. Saudi colleague Al Hilal, who participated in the club's World Cup, discussed his offer, and reports said Brazilian club Botafogo was also interested. He has enough thinking, although not many clubs can afford his salary.

Gomez: Messi is becoming increasingly difficult to cover up frustration
Herc Gomez shared his observations of Lionel Messi after showing frustration in Inter Miami’s victory over the Red Bulls in New York.
Messi's contract with Miami will expire at the end of 2025, although negotiations are underway to extend it for at least one year. The club has been built around him, so he has good reason to stay, but until the ink is drying on the paper… you never know.
Sané looks to sign new conditions at Bayern Munich, but negotiations seem to stagnate as agents change. Now, the former Manchester City winger has a real chance to leave the Bavarian Giants, Arsenal and Liverpool lurk this summer.
Maybe Bayern will lose Sane, but they will almost certainly win TAH. The giant centre-backs joined them almost last summer just to fall. This time, free transfer, nothing can stop him from moving to the championship.
Gomes is a former Manchester United Academy graduate who follows the vast trails of Jadon Sancho and the company, away from the Premier League glare from 2020 in order to bloom. He has performed well in Lille – in fact, he won the first England cap in 2024 – and now he is free to pick from a wide range of clubs including Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham United.

Why Lawrence "loved" Bruen to join Naples
Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens discussed reports linking Kevin de Bruyne to Naples.
De Bruin’s farewell at Etihad Stadium was a real tear-jerking fact Tuesday night, and we don’t know what his next step is. The Chicago Fire Department on the MLS side (after Miami waived his right to discover), clubs from Saudi Arabia and Italian giant Napoli are interested, but it is a major decision for the Belgian International, who has announced efforts at the Club Club Cup in New York City.
Aina was a little late and it took a long time to impress the Chelsea Academy graduates. Only a few first-team teams in the Blues made an appearance, he traveled to Turin in 2019, and Forest quickly transferred on free court in 2023. Again, free agents, he had to use the ups and downs of his career to carefully inform his next move, as it seems that only the real wingback can get the best coach from him.
Mitchell will win the FA Cup with Crystal Palace last weekend was the best day of his life. Would he choose to go out elsewhere in the Premier League and sign the sign elsewhere, or would success make him back for a longer stay? Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring him.

ARTETA: Arsenal needs to be sharp in summer transfer window
Mikel Arteta insists that the board will support his Arsenal plan in the summer transfer window.
The party has been the midstream of the Arsenal team under Mikel Arteta, so it is no surprise that they participated in the talks to expand the contract and stay. He reportedly earned a lot, so he needed to make some concessions at the age of 31. Additionally, the arrival of Martín Zubimendi's summer season may affect his position if Barcelona does leave Barcelona.
Reguilón's haunted time at Totterham has finally come to an end - after loan spells from Atlético, Man United and Brentford - allowed the 28-year-old left-back to start over elsewhere. Perhaps returning to Laliga is exactly what he needs, so Sevilla and Real Sociedad have been in touch with it, which is good news.
Calvert-Lewin's time at Everton is likely to have expired as his contract is about to expire and he has been working hard to stay healthy in the final stages of the season, snatching him up to impress David Moyes and fighting for an opportunity to postpone it. The striker has scored 71 goals in Everton's 272 games and many clubs will be interested - Manchester United and Chelsea have contacted him - but his injury record will always be a worrying thing.
Verratti bought 40% of Serie B Club Pescara, a club he won in the defenders in 2008 to help them get back to the top tier of Italy. The prospects for the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder as a player are not clear, although he is expected to return to Europe in Qatar. Maybe he will become the player owner?
Bardghji's contract started in December, which is not uncommon in the Scandinavian league as they work on calendar years like MLS. He had to recover from a serious knee injury, which reduced his expected track, and for the moment, there were few clues about what happened next. But if he can restore his fitness and form, then all the elites in Europe will be interested.
