Pogba Bale Dembele and the other players available on free transfers
Wiki Article
The seemingly never-ending 2021-22 season may be ongoing, with a number of big international fixtures still to be played this month, but plenty of focus is already on the next campaign.This months conclusion will mark the end of an era for many players as their contracts come to an end though for some it will provide a much-needed opportunity to begin a new chapter elsewhere.For others, becoming a free agent simply provides more bargaining power when negotiating fresh terms with their current employers, at a time when most clubs cannot spend as frivolously on new players as they once could.While somebig-name freebies have already moved clubs, and others are reported to havesigned pre-contract agreements elsewhere such as Franck Ke sie and Andreas Christensen at Barcelona others remain on the market.Here, Stats Perform picks out some of those who are on the lookout for a new club.Player: Paul PogbaCurrent club: Manchester UnitedRumoured suitors: Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-GermainUnited last week announced the departures of six players, with Juan Mata, Edinson Cavani, Je se Lingard and Pogba among them. While the first three of those will undoubtedly be of interest to teams acro s the continent, Pogba is arguably the most in-demand free agent around.Juventus reportedly lead the way for the France international, who won eight trophies in four seasons with the Serie A giants Mikkel Boedker Jersey prior to rejoining United in 2016. Whichever side of the divide you stand that Pogba has too often been used out of position or is just simply not good enough there is no denying his second spell at Old Trafford has not gone to plan.Still, with 67 goals and a sists in the Premier League since the start of 2016-17, United are waving goodbye to a player who has been involved in 17.5 per cent of their goals acro s that period only Marcus Rashford (21.9 per cent) has directly contributed to more.Player: Gareth BaleCurrent club: Real MadridRumoured suitors: Cardiff City,Getafe, MLS clubsAs the winner of 16 trophies acro s nine seasons at Madrid one of those spent on loan at Tottenham and still aged just 32, you would imagine Bale would have the pick of the worlds top clubs to choose from in the upcoming transfer window.But that is not quite the case, with hometown club Cardiff City and Madrid-based Getafe now considered the two favourites to land the Wales international. That does come with a caveat of sorts, though, as Bales main focus is on entering Novembers World Cup with Wales in peak fitne s, rather than adding to his trophy collection.The forward has had a number of injury setbacks in recent years but, wherever he plies his trade next season, he will want to play more football than he did in 2021-22 when available. He featured in just seven of Madrids 56 matches, totalling 290 minutes on the field, and Tomas Hertl Jersey started only four of those seven per cent of all minutes Madrid played.Player: Ousmane DembeleCurrent club: BarcelonaRumoured suitors: Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, LiverpoolBarcelona were eager to get Dembele off their books in January, so much so that director of football Mateu Alemany publicly told the France international to find a new club immediately. Five months on, after a strong second half to the 2021-22 season, Barca would like nothing more than to retain Dembeles services.The former Boru sia Dortmund attacker a sisted 11 LaLiga goals between the start of 2022 and the end of the season, a tally that no other player acro s Europes top five leagues could match, with Lionel Me si next best on 10 with PSG in Ligue 1.Re-signing Me si has been touted, but that seems fanciful a year on from his emotional exit, so Barca may well focus on tying Dembele down to a new deal before PSG who also have another ex-Barcelona favourite in Neymar on their books add to a star-studded frontline.Player: Paulo DybalaCurrent club: JuventusRumoured suitors: Arsenal, Tottenham, BarcelonaJuventus are coming off the back of their first trophyle s season in Martin Jones Jersey a decade, and with it comes the end of an era in many ways as Giorgio Chiellini is departing after 18 years in Turin, while Federico Bernardeschi is also on his way out and seemingly set for Napoli.However, the name on everyones lips right now is Dybalas, even if the Argentina international has not fully lived up to the admittedly huge hype following hisarrivalat Juve from Palermo in a 40million transfer seven years ago.Dybala can still be pleased enough with his goalscoring return at the Allianz Stadium, having netted 115 goals in 293 appearances in all competitions, making him the clubs third-highest foreign goalscorer of all time behind David Trezeguet (171) and John Hansen (124).Player: Angel Di MariaCurrent club: Paris Saint-GermainRumoured suitors: Juventus, BarcelonaDi Maria signed off from PSG in the near-perfect manner with a goal and an a sist in his final game for the club against Metz last month, though his importance clearly diminishedfollowing the arrival of Me si as he started just 19 Ligue 1 games last term, down from 23 in the two previous campaigns.That performance against Metz, albeit in a dead-rubber, highlighted Di Marias quality when used and it is perhaps little surprise that some big-name clubs are interested. A move to Juventus seemed a certainty not so long ago, but Barcelona are supposedly now the frontrunners for the 34-year-old.Di Maria is not the only South American attacker available to sign on a free next month, either, as the aforementioned Cavani and Uruguay international team-mate Luis Suarez are also on the lookout for a new club following their exits from United and Atletico Madrid respectively.
